And that change is extremely annoying. I'm getting tired of deleting 6 KP swap threads several times per day every day(6 threads means that if somebody writes me, it might be on page 2 and I'm getting tired of checking everytime i log in if someone wrote me, or it is just the Kp swap thread spam). I might even stop reading messages on beta.
Totally agree, it has made message threads extremely annoying.
Something that would be helpful with making threads is a pop-up for the whole FS and then you can select all and unselect some, or select just a few. It is an incredible pain when you are trying to send a group, but not the full group, and getting the spelling of all the names correct and then it warns you that you have a problem if you made a error... somewhere... And then have the names from the pop-up go to the recipient line. Sometimes you want to include some people from outside the FS and you have to put all the names in your FS in individually and then the extra ones that you want, so it tend to be easier to just copy the message and send it separately to the extra person.
And then we should still have the option to remove our name from the recipient list.
This idea would make a request to not include your name in the kp threads easier, or, with the being able to remove your name from the list, you could do that as a new thread is started.
