Does someone have to respond to a whisper to show a private discussion?

    yeah that was my question.. on the left under Your discussions, it should have alerted you with "1 new"..

    and what you said above tho is that you couldn't see ANY of my private messages.. so i told Mark.. so Mark disregard that. :)

    and what mini said..

    OK so it's been almost a year since we've discussed this.

    How can we add a notification next to Whispered Comments and Whispered Discussions when there's a new comment/discussion (as there is when you've bookmarked a thread)?

    I think I've gotten lost in the paradox you've managed to create here, lament...

    lol it's real easy..

    I'd like the new message notifications, such as this:

    to show up next to Whispered Discussions and Whispered Comments:

    That would involve modifiying the Discussion Lists extension. It would be easier to simply go to Account -> Forum Preferences and check "Display your private discussions in the control panel".
  • lamentlament ✭
    that only show disussions, not comments..
  • a_magical_mea_magical_me
    Ah. True.

    Wait - why would you need a notification in the panel for a whispered comment? If someone whispers you in a discussion, it will jump to the top of the list.

    the same reason i'd want to see if someone responded to a bookmarked thread .. I'd want to know that there are new replies right away.

    If someone whispers you in a discussion, it will jump to the top of the list.

    it doesn't stay at the top though and it's just like any other discussion.

    Ah. So you're afraid you might not see the whisper if the discussion gets burried?
  • lamentlament ✭
    correct..
  • a_magical_mea_magical_me
    In that case, I shall create a new extension: Whisper Notification. It will notify you, in the style of New Applicants, when some one has whispered to you in a public discussion.

    that would be really cool.. could it also display a private discussion notification?

    You have 2 whispered comments and 3 whispered discussions

    or something similar..
  • a_magical_mea_magical_me
    I'll see what I can do.

    Good going a_magical_me, that's what I was referring to.

    Though I still don't feel starting a whispered discussion is as intuitive as it could be. I really like the format, but it's going to take some add-ons like this and others to make the adoption of this style of private messages easy to adopt.
  • imathisimathis
    How about this... when you click on the notification it takes you to the whispered search results.
  • a_magical_mea_magical_me
    Okay — a preliminary version of Whisper Notification is up at the addons site. Comments, criticism, and suggestions are welcome.
  • yesahasureokyesahasureok
    for some reason ... it doesnt show up for me anything ... is your extension IP sensitive ? because i wrote to myself (to a another testnick).
  • a_magical_mea_magical_me
    You need to enable the notification in your user preferences.
  • onetwentyeightonetwentyeight
    whisper notification makes my forum painfully slow for any user who enables this...
