erm if you're using a LiveID then you use LiveIDs reset password. So it's a kinda defunct feature now anyway.

Date joined is there in the database (we brought it over), but we're not showing it yet. We definitely will.

On a related note...Date Joined would be nice too. :-)

Private messaging would alleviate the problem as we could PM each other asking for addresses. Still, would be nice to be able to e-mail directly.

Just saw your mail (don't check my home address very much). I forwarded it on to the team (I don't know a whole lot about the guts of our Live ID auth or I'd answer your question myself).

Sweet, thanks! (Blame W3bbo for suggesting that I e-mail you there)

We've been talking about private messaging a bit lately. We've got it "designed" in our heads, but time is a big issue at the moment. We're swamped with PDC and other things right now. :(

I'm not sure we CAN have a separate e-mail field because of Live ID (maybe, but I'm not familiar enough). We can definitely add the other fields in at some point.

Yeah, but you can't bug any particular C9 team member. :)

JonathonW — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:25:18 GMT

Well, in that case, you've still got the "Contact Us" form that goes to the C9 team, and doesn't even require you to be logged in... (see the bottom of the page)

Yeah, contacting the team should be easier. When the system would randomly ban people a while ago, I couldn't find any way to contact anybody about it but by creating a new account (which is a pain) and emailing one of the guys from the team via the Contact Me button. Now that that's not there, I have no idea how you're supposed to contact them in cases like those.

This means reset password is no longer in the plan. Might as well... it never did work.

It just came to me. V4 makes it real easy to remove functionalites. LOL.

Yeah, completely forgot about the spam issues around "posting" addresses.

The lack of this feature came up yesterday when I wanted to e-mail a member of the C9 team about my account but couldn't find any [easy] way of doing so.

Yes. There are lots of situations where one niner might need to contact another-- it would be helpful to have a "Contact Me" form on each niner's profile page (like the old C9) so that we don't have to post our actual email addresses on the web (and leave them open to spam harvesters).

In terms of features missing from C9, this is one of the top priorities to me. I've already needed it once (and it ended up that the person I needed to contact had to post their address to the web), and I don't even do that much emailing back and forth between Niners.
