Whispers!
Posted: Mon Apr 13, 2020 9:19:00 pm
So... you all got your first taste of whispering today at Councils. Something we had discussed ahead of the season, but was brought up during council so why not dive in!
We have developed a system for whispering so that you don't have to rely on hosts to do so. I think you all should test this out ahead of council to make sure you understand how it works.
You will whisper by using the BBCODE whisper
If you want to whisper to someone you should write within open and closing whisper tags along with the user id. To find someone's User ID you can hover over their name or click on their profile and you'll see the last few digits of the address. For example if I hovered over Catalie's name, the browser would pull up the URL for her profile.
It reveals her User ID is 3147
So in order to whisper to Catalie you would write
[whisper=3147 ] THIS IS THE WHISPER [ /whisper]
The message would then only be visible to Catalie and yourself.
If you wanted to whisper to multiple users, you could separate the user ID's by commas.
ie: [whisper=3147, 3148, 3149]This is a whisper![/whisper]
One small caveat. If you are going to use this code at council, you must announce who you are whispering to in the post ahead of your whisper. If not, we'll have to call you out or look into disabling whispering :)
USER ID's FOR EASY REFERENCE:
430 - Cassandra
3147 - Catalie
305 - Cristina
406 - Jeff
2628 - Joaquin
302 - Kim
3123 - Loveita
3148 - Melinda
446 - Penner
3075 - Russell
374 - Stephanie
3099 - Tammy
301 - Yve
