Ok, this is a problem that I think mostly every FF writer, or people that have PMing to do, have. We need to have like an option or a group where a member can add others names and then can PM them altogether instead of picking out people or choosing them one-by-one. It becomes very annoying and stressful because for one, the FF writers have to remember who's on the PM list and then pick them out separately which becomes very annoying for people. It takes us like about half an hour to just PM people.

Also, knowingly or unknowingly we're going to PM those members who don't even need the PM and it's going to disturb them. So please do something about this. I really hope you take this in consideration.

Thanks,

Medzi

The best thing is add in your PM that those who don't need it please ignore and apologise. They'll understand that it is strenuous. Thatts the only way to save time.

was just coming to post about this :)

I think it would be really helpful if we were able to group our buddy list and at the click of a button be able to send all those in the group a PM rather than find and check their name. Gallery updates become very tedious this way once the gallery gets popular and there's about 60+ would like a PM regarding your new updates.

@SaffronOrange- Exactly!

@Jungli Billi- I know right! It actually becomes stressful for us. Making groups is the only way to eliminate this. Plus it makes the PMer's life MUCH easier!

@Medzi: yup... some people are getting another ID just for this purpose of having a separate PM list, which i think is probably against IFs CoC but... at the moment that seems like the only logical solution to keep friends separate from followers..

we are spending ages cross checking names and finding them in our list of 150+ buddies - really is a waste of time.

like u said... at best it takes 20-30 mins to PM people and say if you're updating frequently.. like every other day.. it becomes slightly ridiculous. I don't end up sending PMs half the time coz off this and people complain ki itne updates miss hogaye...

@Jungli Billi: I know. I have a shop to and I often make siggies and all that, but I don't update them often just because I have to send PMs to about 150 people and half of them don't even comment! It's ridiculous! I'd rather send PMs to those who at least comment and not waste my time and energy PMing those who don't even care! The mods should do something about this. Like, really quick!

YES!!! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
can we make it like email? you know you can have lists of people? that way we can put people in multiple groups for what they want to be pmmed for! and the people that dont want pms, can be avoided!
at the same time, can we get a longer amount of people that can be sent to at a time, 20 is such a low number!
