Idea for Verifex to brainstorm on (new feature) (in General)

Why can't we get the notices from auctions:

"You have been outbid in an auction for An Elven Long Bow [6x6] (+1) -- http://cb2.carnageblender.com/gc/view-one.tcl?classified_ad_id=38497"

be a link to click on and bring you to that auction directly instead?

I think this has been suggested before, but that doesn't mean it's still not a brilliant idea. :O)

I agreed to whatever Shade says...

because that would suck for notices delivered in the chat client.

true it would suck for messages delivered to the chat client, alas

is the chatmail system implemented in sucha way that delivering a message to only one of the places (chat, or homepage) is not possible? for the auction notifications, the full info with working link could go to homepage, and a watered-down version to chat...
this would require them to be linked somehow so you don't get the same chatmail twice, so i assume that implementing it would be a hassle?

well the problem is, i suspect, that there already will only be delivered 1 message, if you see it in your PM window it will still be delivered in the Chat Mail inbox but you will only see it as a message when you go look at your Chat Mails.

The problem i think is that that message is always the same, so no 2 versions of a message can be sent.

strangely I don't think I have ever received a CM in my PM box before even when sent while I have been online :/
