Need new warning message on messages with no subject line, user has no idea why

Currently when someone does not enter a subject line he cant send a message, they get an error screen “cant send a message” without any explanation. They have absolutely no idea what is going on and think there is something wrong on the site. Very simple fix, instead of saying error, have a message say please fill out subject line, or subject line missing, something like that.

This doesn’t need enhancement, as it is a unique string. You can modify it to your need very easily by using the language file (read here)

The exact phrase used in BP 2.2.3.1 is:
There was an error sending that message. Please try again.

If you see “cant send a message”, you use an old BP version or a third party plugin. Check for this first if it is the case.

FYI, there is also a ticket about error message, so consider your question as “work in progress”…

I have changed the text in new po and mo files uploaded it to proper folder and nothing has changed.

I am confused by this, This example uses en_US as the sample language definition, and thus buddypress-en_US.mo is the name of the language file you will create. You’ll need to replace ‘en_US’ with the locale of your WordPress site.

So the two file names should not be named

buddypress-en_US.mo
buddypress-en_US.po

Is this the same for everyone using English or is it different for every user? Perhaps thats why its not working for me.
THanks
