You are now able to more easily reply via PM by clicking on the user drop down to the left of the post
<---
And selecting "Reply via PM"
This will pop open a PM to the person with the title and quoted message already loaded.

Nifty. Seems like something I'd use (but not often).

Yeah, not exactly an 'every reply' sort of thing, but hopefully this will help people take things to private that should be taken to private by making it less effort and not making it so easy to get to that people start replying to everything in private because the reply buttons are too close.

I would've preferred it down by those buttons but I can see the reasoning behind this decision. Typically clicking on usernames takes you directly to that person's profile, though, so I'll probably use this less than I would like. A drop-down "button" would be a nice feature.

Having it by the Reply/Reply with Quote would make it too easy and would make people use PMs perhaps when they shouldn't. This is a public forum and as much should be said publicly as necessary. Having this option partially hidden just makes good sense.
Quite a nifty feature. I know I'll be using it.

Yeah, this one is awesome. Thanks!
Perhaps instead of PM we could get VM? I feel like that is a more common method of outside-of-thread exchange.

I've enabled those indicators.

I've made both available.

I like the dropdowns available from the forum index and not just in threads.

This is great, I was often faced with situations where that would have been useful.

It's gonna take me a little while to get used to it showing up on the Forum/Thread list, but overall it seems like a handy little feature.

The popup has always been there, on both. All I did is add two options to it and make a visible indicator.

I think the indicator is ugly but otherwise I don't really mind.
