Feature Request: 'To' line in PM thread details
Currently, a PM thread (any PM thread, no matter who starts it) shows the following information in the Thread Details column (on Responsive, this is a request for Responsive! No idea what it does on the old site):

quote:
private thread by <Author> with <X so many> replies.
<timestamp/date of last post> by <last post author)


It would be SPECTACULARLY GLORIOUS if somewhere in there it could list the recipients of the message, instead of just the author. Either by adding a third detail of 'Recipients: <Names>' or making the first detail read 'private thread by <Bob> to <John; Jimmy; Sue> with <42> replies.'

Why?

Because I've noticed a trend among players of starting what seems to be all (or definitely MOST) of their PM communication with other players with the same title to their threads, and as a GM it's /extremely/ difficult to keep seventeen threads that are all titled 'Hey' or 'What's Up?' or 'OOC' separate without having to go into them each time I need to recall something said in one...especially when the last post in said threads was made by the original author.

It seems easier to request the feature than to train my players to not title everything the same. :D

I agree that this is a good idea.  I will suggest, however, while you wait, that you edit the titles of the threads, which can be done by editing the first note that created them.

That would be a fantastic solution, except for the fact that GMs can't edit player PM posts.

We can delete the thread (GM side only) or purge the thread (remove it for everyone), but we can't in any way edit the posts within the thread.
