Hi everyone! As those who’ve talked about it with me know, our echos have been in need of a bit of an overhaul. We’ve been working on it for a while now, and today we’re finally ready to release it :) Head over to your echos, and you’ll notice a couple of things. First of all, your echos are paginated now, so those of you with many echoes will find the page loads much faster now. Checkboxes have appeared next to the echos, a couple of weird buttons have plopped themselves unceremoniously at the top. Hover your mouse over them to see what they do — one archives selected echo threads, and the other removes you from them. The general idea is this: **once you’ve dealt with an echo, archive it and it “goes away”**. If you or anyone else uses the echo again, it automatically un-archives it for everyone. Basically, the idea behind archiving a message is that you’re putting it away while you aren’t using it, but can get to it easily again if you need to. To see all of the threads that you’ve archived, simply click the “archive” link under the Inbox heading (and from there, you can unarchive selected threads to put them back in your inbox). **To get rid of an echo more permanently, you can use the “Remove yourself permanently from selected echos” button**. Like it says, it literally removes you from the list of people the echo is shared with. It will ask you to confirm your decision before actually removing you. Be careful, since there is no way for you to undo this action: once you’ve removed yourself, the echo is just like any other echo that you are not part of. Finally, **you can add other users to echo threads**. To do so, click into the “Reply” area of a thread, and you’ll see under the list of participants there’s a new link called “Add a new participant”. This pops open a little box for you to type a user’s account number or full username. It will ask you to confirm your decision before actually adding the person. Again, be careful, since there is no way for you to undo this action: once you’ve added someone, the echo is just like any other that includes that person. Note that: 1. any person that you add to an echo thread can see the *entire* echo thread, including messages that were posted before he or she was added, and That’s it! I hope you find the changes useful :)

Thank you, glitch :D I most likely won’t make use of much of this until a giant group echo annoys me again, but I really appreciate it for when that inevitably happens :D

I deleted nearly everything. Ahhh, feels so good for it to be clean. ~ u ~ Question! If you remove yourself from an echo, and someone else echos you using the echo you were part in (I’m assuming that they can keep an echo while you remove yourself from it), will you pop back into it? o’: How’s that work, exactly? ...Does what I’m asking make sense? >>;;

Tamako: To my understanding, unless someone still in that echo adds you back in, once removed, you should no longer receive any further messages from that echo. No one should be able to message you again through that particular echo unless they’ve manually added you back in. You can think of it as unsubscribing from a mailing list! :)

Eluii is correct - once you remove yourself, your access to that echo thread becomes exactly as though you had never been included in it in the first place. If there were only two people in the echo, yes, it becomes a one-person echo. (you can also just make one-person echos if you want to by simply listing your own user ID in the “to” field)
