New private message system suggestion.

From Dev Board: It is now possible to send Private Messages directly from your PM Inbox, rather than having to go to the player's profile. In addition you can now send PMs to multiple recipients. When adding a recipient, type their name as it appears in Roll20, and we'll show you a listing of matching players, with "stars" next to any players that you have played games with in the past. I found this system hard to use especially since a lot of player do not use their account names in games-- they tend to change their name from game to game to match character names which make this system very hard to use.  Can you put current players in someone game automatically at the top of the list since they is (in most case) who the PM is being sent to?  You already have stars so the system already knows who the people are, so it is not the hardest thing to implement (unlike my next suggestion).  I just sent one Pm to 5 people and had to send it 5 times, once to each person.

Wolf , you might also be able to find a user that you have played a game with in the 'Recently Played with' section of your profile and you can go to the game you are in and double click on a user's icon to have it take you to their profile. From there you can PM them.  - Gauss
I used the square user boxes to link to their individual profiles and did it, but again I have to send the same message 5 times.  (Copy and paste made this easier, but the multiple recipient system might be made easier is all I am saying-- in all honesty I don't often need to do this since if I need to talk to everyone I can just post a message 99% of the time.  This is that 1%..)

Just to clarify, my purpose is not to address your suggestion but to help users with the tools we currently have available in order to overcome an issue. :) - Gauss
