"I'll get back to you"

I've noticed that I have said this a lot, and a lot of people have said this to me. We all know that "I'll get back to you on that" or "I'll let you know soon" usually ends up going nowhere. That's why I am proposing a new feature of NS. A section somewhere in your account when you're logged in, where you can search the list of NS'ers names. This next part is a little hard to explain. You then click their name, and then it's embedded on the page I guess. Then below it, or next to it, or wherever, you simply write a description of what you need to get back to them on. It could also work for you having to get back to someone.

That way, you may just be sitting on NS one day, and then think to check your "get back to me" section, and see a bunch of people that may want a response, or that you need to get back to.

yay or nay?

cool idea, but cant you just write down who you need to get back to on a sticky note?

When trying to work a deal out with someone or when your just pming someone ADD THEM TO YOUR FRIENDS LIST. This is what i do and every once in a while you can go to your friends list and get to their profiles and view your message exchange. Really easy and basically what your asking for.

Yeah but you don't know who is who. Sometimes you forget which username is linked with which person and you don't want to be an asshole asking 10 people who they are until you find the person.

I think it's unneccessary, post-it note should be suffice

Or do as Macmahoooooooooooooooooooooon said and send yourself PM's.
