Whisper = PM?

edited June 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
I see this whole whisper thing, however does it function like a PM? Can you only whisper something to someone and NOT post it to the discussions?

  • You can whisper a whole discussion to some if you wish or just one message within an already existing discussion.
  • very cool, can you whisper to more than one person?

    can you whisper to more than one person?
    No, and it won't be a feature in 1.0 either. Mark says that making multiple person whispers require too many queries to justify it (for now anyways).
  • just so you know, if you read the documentation, there's a ton of questions to answers like these. its a great resource.
  • See, that's a problem with whispers, it's non-standard text that can confuse users. Let's face it - no forum users are gonna read Vanilla documentation.
  • Whispers are awesome though.
  • I agree, but there is a (however small) learning curve that comes with them.
  • yes i know i could have RTFM but to be honest... i was in a rush to give a member an answer... i have the manual sitting on my pc at work...
  • I've tested whispers with few users from my forum and they loved it. When someone is advanced enough to need the PM, she/he would be also smart enough to figure out what whispering is.
