1+5: I've added a "unanswered sent messages" section in the messages box.

2: the search generally works well BUT - it's far from perfect. I use a full text search, and it doesn't match book: as book, etc. I would be happy to get help investigating this further

3: I've added a tooltip for now. we should get more user feedback and see if we need a better solution.

4: for now I've moved it to the right. I will try to get feedback from new users to see how much of a problem it is.

6: I changed it to "close"

7: I did it, except for conversations with 1 message (the one you see...). let me know if I missed somewhere.

8: I changed it to "mark as returned" and "request to mark as returned" (for owner and borrower respectively)

9: I hope I fixed this - take a look and tell me.

10, 12, 14: we should get feedback from other users and see how much they want this feature. I want to create a balance between specific user needs and user confusion - more buttons == more confusion, but if many users would find that helpful it's worth it.

11: fixed that. added time.

13: I changed and then changed back. X accepted your request has a bit more information - it signifies the action is a result of your request, which X is willing to ... doesn't have. but we can investigate this further with users and consult with more people.

15: I'm sure once we have the current version running we can understand better the pros and cons of the current system and do this kind of fine tuning. of course while consulting with the community.

thanks.
