What would be the work involved with being able to send private messages to more than one member at a time??

Anyone else think this is a good idea.

It is a good idea and it certainly can be done. How much time it would take I am not sure but probably several hours.


But there is a problem with this. It would enable spammers to send mass PM's which would not be a good thing. Or newbies could get a nasty habbit of sending PM's to all the top 10 posters asking all kinds of questions. I don't say these things will happen but they need to be considered before implementing.

Just searched phpBB site and it seems that someone already is developing this modification
