Communicating between owners

[Breadmanben]

The trading block and smily faces are both good additions. Well done. However, the ability to send messages to other teams is a little primative. The only way I've been able to send a message to another team is to offer a trade of nothing for a player and type in a message.

Could you add the ability to send messages to the other owners in the league individually? The forum's are great (Although I don't think all the owners know about them. It took me awhile before I saw the link on the summary page. Might want to add it to the selection menu on the left hand side) for leaguewide messages but not for team to team communications.

Thanks for your efforts.

Actually you can send Private Messages to other owners. At the bottom left of this page on the forum drop down menu is a Private Messages option. If the other owner uses the forum you can send them a message and they will get an e-mail that tells them to check their Inbox at the forum. It works well and you don't need each other's e-mail.
The best way to do trades or communicate is through some kind of IM service. I have been able to make twice as many trades since I have been using it regularily.

Thank you for the tip. I wasn't aware of this feature....which actually makes my point. The communication options are not well known or embedded into the main game page. I've been playing this game for about 3 months now and I didn't know this even existed.

I also agree about the IM format for trading etc but unfortunately my league owners havn't posted their IM addresses etc.

This is just my opinion on how to make a currently great game even better.

Thanks, Breadman -

You've got some good ideas.

We've been trying to balance ease of communication with personal privacy, which has slowed down some implementations.

But I'll definitely add the left-hand link to the discussions to our to-do list. (Much to Ian's dismay, I'm sure ;) )

Thanks for playing,
