With ManiaHome in Maniaplanet, you can now send a message to all the members of a group.
Go to the buddies tab
Click on one of your groups
Enjoy

It is not possible to define a Manialink and a icon using "Send to Buddies" or "Send to Group" at the moment.
For advanced notifications to my buddies I have to use the ManiaPlanet-WS-SDK and ManiaHome::postPersonalNotification() with myself as receiver. Is it possible to extend the classes to directly address all buddies or a specific group?

It's not possible atm. You should post that as a suggestion in the Maniaplanet WS SDK forum, we'll implement that on the API at some point.

Is really most important now to add that new function while lot of old ones are still not fixed?
Just few my examples:

http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic.php?f=238&t=5658
http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic.php?f=238&t=5585
or some suggestions examples:
http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=6215
http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic.php?f=221&t=2776
http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic.php?f=220&t=4653
http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic.php?f=234&t=2718
Or few new bugs that I discovered and don't even want to report because I expect no answer.
This forum starts to be too messed for me - even big support forums of big programs has less sections and subsections, so forgive me to post here.

As an online engineer, I really only work on online-related stuff ; I do not work at all on the client itself (I don't even have visual studio installed on my machine if you want to know).
You have to understand that the other engineers that work on the client are really realllly busy: between all the bug reports, the enhancements of Maniaplanet and other small details (such as ShootMania

), some bugs may take some time to be fixed ; but in the end most of the team read the forums, and is aware of the bugs so it's just a matter of time and priorities.

Anyway - forum "slimming" by reducing the amount of sections/subsections etc. and few moderators who move posts/topics to proper sections will be really good idea. In fact - why is "Game System" divided 6 subsections? Multiplayer - another 6 sections. And that only in "beta" area, which is no longer used (or maybe it is?). Then we have english section with 8 sub-sections. If I enter "Trackmania" inside "English" i have 11 another zones! Damn, I'm from Poland, so I enter PL zone and I see 5 subsections inside, after entering "Trakmania 2" i see posts and another 3 zones, including suggestions in PL. Anyone from Ubisoft/Nadeo understand Polish? Or Korean? Or maybe Swedish?
We are one of most active community in TMUF -
http://tm.maniazones.com/forum/index.php?board=247.0 and even there, most of over 50 thousand of posts are in main PL section and everyone who trying to write something in specific zone inside PL was inform about write in main section. So - unnecessary division to so many zones gives this forum simply useless. Not for users, because they always write somewhere (if they have patience, in proper place, if not - in any place that at least fit a little), but for administrators, who never will have even chance to read all bugs messed all over the forum.
