Bug Report: Cannot send Group PMs to certain users

[b]Title:[/b] Cannot send group PMs to certain users [b]Description:[/b] Specifically, if the person's username contains three characters or less ([url=http://www.bungie.net/7_el/en/view/profile/index#!page=index&mid=221]example[/url]), it is impossible to include them in a group conversation using the private message system because Bungie.net only begins to auto-recognize names when they are four or more characters long. [b]Repro Steps:[/b] [b]1)[/b] Log in. [b]2)[/b] Click the "Conversations" button to the left of your profile drop-down. [b]3)[/b] Click "Start New Conversation" in the upper right. [b]4)[/b] Click the Blue Plus to add a new user to the conversation. [b]5)[/b] Type in "EL". [b]6)[/b] Type in "Hello World!" to the post body, then click "Send Message". [b]7)[/b] Observe the "The recipients in red were invalid; please retry and choose a recipient from the suggested drop-down list." message. [b]8)[/b] Observe that the "suggested drop-down list" is only generated when you type four or more characters in, making it impossible to send messages to users with three or less characters in their username. [b]Result:[/b] I cannot include users like EL in a group private message, forcing me to message them seperately to convey the same information, but without the nicety of having a group conversation. [b]Expected Result:[/b] I should be able to message users like EL. [b]Notes:[/b] Good luck fixing this, it seems more like an oversight with the design of the PM system than it is a specific bug >_> [b]OS:[/b] Windows 7 [b]Browser:[/b] Internet Explorer 11 [b]Are you running add-ons/plug-ins?:[/b] Nope [b]Dark/Light Theme?:[/b] Dark theme master race. Good luck webteam, keep fighting the good fight!

  • Hey there Hylebos, Nice catch. TMK, this is legacy behavior from before User names were required to have a minimum of 3 characters. This isn't actually possible to replicate with the new system in place. There is a nice work around to this, in that if you click the user flyout, and click message, you can include those users(albiet only one per group message because you have to start the convo with them). He could also change his name XP. Thanks for bringing this issue to light, a bug has been logged. -NIS
