This looks very interesting but the link redirects to an error page...

Also, what kind of extra load does this place on the server? For example, say I have 200 students logged in to my Moodle site. Is this going to drastically increase server load as opposed to the standard message block?

Hi Jason,

The link to download has been fixed..

As for the load on the server; I dont think it will cause a load, it is just a simple query.. less than the load happens when the page refreshes in messaging page. also i dont think these 200 users are concurrent, so the page requests will not be at the same time. also this enhancement is flagged in moodle 2.0 messaging system.. i think they are going to use it.

cheers

Brilliant block. However it is not currently working on Firefox when I install it. It is fine on all other browsers as far as I can see.
Any idea how to rectify this as a lot of my users use Firefox.
Thanks.

Apologies this error was due to a fault in my Firefox installation, not an error in the block, and has now been rectified.
