Shoutbox checkbox

Dear friends,

I was looking for this thread in the forums, but didn't find it. So I'm sorry if it was posted or discussed before.

As I see it, It's confusing, not to mention ugly, reading disconnected conversations in my shout boxes (and, of course, shout boxes from other users as well)

Like
"No, that gig was a total shame"

Then
"Hee hee hee, but certainly not Radiohead"

Then
"Yes, also people from the other countries think the same"

Definitely this is something that is not satisfying (or cool) at all.
A simple suggestion: Put a simple checkbox in the shouts column to give the user the option that an answer can appear in both columns, one user and the other user at the same time.

Cheers

Well it's a shoutbox, not a chatbox.

I definitely see your point here, something similar to the Facebook 'wall-to-wall' page would be quite nice, to show what two users have posted in each others shoutboxes.

Being a moderator does not equate to being last.fm staff. Any views in my posts are my own, and shouldn't be assumed to be shared by other moderators or staff members.

Oh, c'mon, Fulvian.
Even when you "shout" there is a line to follow...
its not a matter of names...

I have a lot of objections to Facebook really... But I must admit that that wall-to-wall feature could work very fine in here...

@pol_noir - i post into users' shoutboxes a fair bit, so i know what you mean. it's very disconnected atm when you can't make sense of replies because there's no context. sry, fulvian :(

Agreed. Also, rather than going to a new page like facebook, if the other column was a pull out tab on the same page, I think I'd like it better.

Let's make cover versions or music or whatever.
