I believe it would be useful if we could preview our pm's before sending them (just like we can do with our ordinary posts)... well, it would be a lot more useful than "clear fields/reset message", wouldn't it? And what if we could save drafts as well? It would be useful for long messages too.
What do you guys think? Cool or fool?

actually you can save your outgoing msgs. there's an option below the msg box that says something like "save a copy". i forget exactly but it's along that line.
even tho there isn't a "preview" button, you could just double check it by re reading what you wrote. thre's a button beside send message labelled "clear fields" too

The preview thing would be useful when adding images and smilies (to check if the URL is right, if the image is loading...)
And the "save draft" would be useful when writing huge pm's (I often do it) or when having to leave in the middle of it (which often happens to me too). So you could continue it later...
And the "clear fields" thing is what I don't get. What's that option for? You could just select what you've written, press delete or backspace and you would have the same results Besides, when you press that button by accident, there's no undo option, so it's quite dangerous
You know what I mean? Anyway, it's just a suggestion, I don't know how useful it would be for all of you

or am I just stupid and is this already possible?
hehe, I'm afraid it's possible already Below your buddy list, there's a blue link which reads "Send PM to buddies" and it allows you to send pm up to 5 different users

Anyone else having problems with the pm thing? The box popped up twice telling me that I have new pm, but everytime I check, nothing shows up
No, my inbox is not full (55 messages, and as far I know, I can have 60 )

I think a preview addition would be useful, esp if youre quoting alot in the PM, because even a simple '/' which could easily be overlooked could screw it all up.
