[Meta] Send Message is STILL broken on moderation page?

That’s amazing - it’s been like six months.

Is it broken for everyone else or just me?

it plays up for me too. the message either becomes a comment like it supposed (at least that's my understanding) or not at all. also the "Reject and Send Message" also doesn't work.. it just rejects it. but im only at 1k but I reject things like "write my code" or "What is Null Reference Error!". but I seem to have trouble telling them the right way to make questions because half the messages don't even show up. when you press "send Message" does it just take you to the top of the page? also the Advanced Questions appear to be bugged unless there aren't any.

^Agreed...Do the Unity Tech employees even visit this place?

Cmon guys .. I could take as much as one-half line of PHP to fix that problem ;-) Seriously it's kind of weird it is not fixed yet. There's no "real explanation" for that. Even if they're planning a massive new release, or whatever, someone should just click 4 keys on their keyboard and fix it, you know?

Really, moderation should be for finding abuse spam and bad language. Really it should not be used to reject bad questions. Everyone should have a chance to have their 'question' answered no matter how abominable it may be and then it is down to HK (High Karma) to Close the question if they are not successful or its not going anywhere. At the very least direct them to the forums. Of course, if SEND MESSAGE actually worked this wouldn't be an issue.

right, SendMessage has to work - or essentially the whole board is unusable

While we’re waiting for an official fix, I made this GreaseMonkey script that allows us to use the send message button on the moderation page, so that it actually sends the message as well.

// ==UserScript==
// @name        FixUASendMessage
// @namespace   UA
// @description Fix Send Message on UA mod queue
// @include     http://answers.unity3d.com/moderation/index.html*
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==

var visibilityValues = document.getElementsByName("visibility");
var bodies = document.getElementsByName("body");

for(var i=0; i<bodies.length;i++){
    bodies*.onclick = function(){*

correctRights();
};
}

function correctRights(){
for(var i=0; i<visibilityValues.length;i++){
visibilityValues*.value = “full”;*
}
}

das right! wanna get something done? do it yourself!

Now can you fix the broken tutorial video link? :P Awesome job btw, it's sad when people don't fix their websites and you have to resort to GreaseMonkey scripts to do it for them.

SendMessage should be working again - please let us know if it stops working again.

Awesome, nice to see UA hasn't been forgotten.

wait, what? That was too easy :) Thanks!

SendMessage now pops up, but I'm still unable to actually send it. Writing works just fine and there's no exception in any of the javascript, but it still doesn't post a comment...

With Send Message broken, I've just been adding comments to questions in the queue.
