Private messages 2.1

Update

Real-time updates

New messages now arrive instantly, making conversations faster and more reliable.

Send and read status

You can now see the status of each message you send: a clock means it is being sent, one check mark means it has been sent, and two mean the other person has read it.

Saved drafts

Unfinished messages are saved in each conversation. You can switch to another chat and return to your draft later.

Countdown timer

If you send messages too quickly, a timer shows how long you need to wait before sending another one.

Redesigned messaging page

On desktop, the conversation list and your open chat now fill the page, making it easier to choose who to talk to and read your messages. On mobile, the list and the conversation appear on separate screens to give you more room to chat.

Pick up where you left off

When you return to a conversation, your reading position is preserved. You can carry on reading without searching for the last message you read.

Find conversations by username

We have improved search to make it easier to find the conversation you need.

Reconnecting

If your connection drops, the chat shows the connection status. Messages update automatically once you are back online. If a message could not be confirmed as sent, you can retry sending it.

Other changes

Page navigation

We have added smooth transitions between sections of the site. Pages load faster, and getting around is easier.

Account suspension screen

The suspension screen now shows the reason your account was suspended and lets you sign out.

Game icons

Game icons now have a consistent look and respond to hovering in the same way across the site.

Notification language

Emails about new messages and expired listings now correctly use your selected language.
