Re: Messages bug ?
I do not understand why simple things like a “send-to field” are being made more complicated than they actually are ?
This auto-complete is probably nice if somebody understands how it works, but for a user new to the website, this is just a point at which he will most likely get an error-message and walk away. JavaScript and AJAX should only be used when it provides a value-add.
Why not just create a simple drop-down-field with all names of friends ?
The key for BuddyPress is to keep things as SIMPLE as possible.
There is a reason why Facebook, Craigslist, POF.com, etc. are successful: KISS
Keep It Simple & Stupid
