Maybe the CMs could help us out here?
The problem that I would see with a "standard" one is that they would sound too impersonal (ie "corporate speak"). I would like to add my own spin on to it. I'm actually working with Phil as the one that I am trying is adding some oddball text, on his end.
In other words instead of "Send a PM to Alex." say "Please send a Private Message to Alex - he is one of the Community Managers on this forum and should be able to help."
Could you post a copy of your macro? I don't want to copy it word for word, I just want to figure out hot you got the link to work. I tried creating a macro a while backfor this very purpose, but it did not seem to work with HTML or links.

This is what my HTML looks like:
<p><strong><em><a href="http://forums.att.com/t5/notes/privatenotespage/tab/compose/note-to-user-id/318276" target="_self">Alex</a></em></strong> </p>
And this is how it appears:

Yup, that way I can put something different each time I use it. I just wanted the macro so I did not have to keep his PM page open all the time so I can copy the link into a post.
It would also be nice if they would make a way to insert items from your "bookmark" list in the reply window. Maybe it's just me, but it seems fairly easy to create a bookmark but what do you do with them after that. I have to go to "settings" just to see them. Maybe they could do a drop-down list for bookmarks similar the the macro drop-down list.

Ok, a little off topic, but how about hot-keys for maybe the first five or ten macros?
Plus, maybe take the reply page tools and put them on a floating tool bar to the right of the reply box that will follow you down the page. It should include the RT, HTML, and Preview tabs as well as the Spell Check button and Macro pulldown and all the reply box tools.
I find quite often, as some of the quotes and replies gets long, I will expand the reply box to see more of the text. Problem is after a ceertain point you have to keep scrolling the webpage back up to get to the tools and often the cursor gets moved in or removed from the reply box and the tool or macro you click on ends up in the wrong place in the reply.
