Mixx Messaging

Now that the messaging system from Mixx has officially launched. I figured that some of you might need help on how to use this new feature. But not only that I also figured that some guidelines/suggestions for using the system needed to be put in place. So here we go.

Purpose

 I’ll start with going over what the purpose of the messaging system is for. Mixx for a while had no way for the users to contact each other except through comments and sharing. Many mixxers for a while asked for this from what I could tell on The Mixxing Bowl (including myself). The release of this now means the community now can contact each other privately if they let’s say want to ask a question, put some one in they’re place if they were out of line, discuss something, etc. The main purpose though I personally feel is to prevent the comment section from being cluttered with off topic discussions. Many of you may disagree but that is just my opinion.

What not to do

Now that the purpose of it has been covered. I want to quickly go over what is not to be used for.  The messaging system should never ever be used to spam anyone, share mixx stories (there’s a reason the share feature exists), start fights, flame one another, etc. I think everyone get’s what I’m trying to say. Just don’t be stupid and be responsible with it. I’ll cover more of this in my next post.

How to use mixx messaging

The Mixx Messaging is pretty straight forward and simple. To access it simply click the mail icon located next to the “Your Account” along the top. The icon will be yellow when you have a new message, and will display the amount of new messages you have. If you don’t have any new messages it will default to a grey looking envelope.

 To send a new message click send new message, this will bring up the compose new message. Here you can choose either individual mixxers from your list to send a message to, or you can choose to send a message to all of your friends by choosing select all. If there isn’t some one on your friends list that you’d like to send a message to, you can fill in they’re name in top field. After choosing who you want to send a message, give your message a title, enter your message, and send it away!
