Answering whispers

At the moment I can see all the whispers in front of me and can simply ignore the ones that I don`t want. With new chat I will have to make a concious decision to change to another window to check whether or not I wish to answer. When two or three or more people are whispering at once I stick by my previous statement, that you would have to have a much quicker brain than mine :shock:

You're absolutely right. Using the windows options is even more time consuming, and a very messy solution.
I still think having two columns is a workable option. In the first column we could have the current list of people in the room. Then in a column next to this would be another column with all the people we are whispering to.
It may not be ideal but I think it's better than what we've got.
banghead

I didnt write that :shock:

Well that's me. I reply to all uninvited whispers in open chat, a clear message that should someone decide it is OK to whisper me without even saying hello in chat first, that it's not.
If they ask and I accept, I reply in whisper.
If I get too many whispers at one time, I ask them to all chat in main room.
And when I do reply in open chat I always add the ID first so people know who I am addressing.
Sorry but I'm not stopping doing that for anyone, it's the uninvited whisperer's that should take note.
Blimey it's a long way down my my high horse today

I didn't mean you personally Pink. Like I said, I do it myself occasionally. Just that if someone is getting an exceptionally large amount of whispers (lucky buggers!! lol

) and answers them all in the main chat, it can be difficult for the rest of the room to follow the conversation.
I don't get alot of whispers myself...I just tend to talk crap in the room generally but I know if I was getting that much attention through whispers and welcomed it, then I would open my own rolleyes

point taken ill stop wispering u now fffs all u had to do was tell me :twisted: but it dont matter whether u get wispers or not u still get bloody confuddled :roll: :roll: xxxxxx
Shhhhhhh Puss...I've started a nice sensible post and you shower of buggers are hijacking it!!!!
No wonder nobody ever takes me seriously pfffttt
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
:shock:
Betty & sensible do NOT come together!!!!

What you suggest isn't any different to having tabs at the top with names of people whispering, tabs have one big advantage in that with one click they can be deleted.

Would be much better if the windows could be moved around so those of us who prefer to have multiple private conversations on the go can see more than one at once.
Is it possible for you to look at options to detach the tabs to moveable windows?

It says on my profile that I NEVER answer whispers (not that anyone ever reads it) I find that just ignoring unasked for whispers works pretty well, but if they are persistent then cutting and pasting the most crass example into the room and then requesting that they don't whisper me usually works. If people request a whisper then my answer is "Sorry but I prefer to chat in the room". The most annoying people are the ones who whisper "can I whisper please?" DOH!!!!!!!
However people answering whisperers in the main room doesnt bother me as I can usually manage to work out what is happening and just ignore the chat from that person as I'm scrolling down.

Personally, i would like separate im windows like chat.. with the option to turn them of.
I don't much like the tabbed idea or the current idea

what about an option to ignore people if the whisper u once but you dont want to talk to then and they continualy bombard u with whispers ....... you got to constantly close down the seperate window or tab other wise, therfore annoying you even more because you can lose the thread of the conversation

This would make it easier to follow the conversation and twitch someone off if you wanted to

It isn't all the whispers that personally bug me....usually the ones that go something like this.... lol

'yeah'
'really'
'if you ask nicely'
'ooooo u are naughty'
etc etc etc........makes absolutely no sense to me as its not always apparent that they are replies to whispers...hence why sometimes I get a bit confuddled :lol:
I don't tend to answer whispers to peeps I dont't know anyway which is a good job because I am known as being one of the worst whisperers redface

That might explain why I have such a long list of people on my MSN list :lol:

I believe an ignore function is being built into the new chatroom

Absolutely - gives people the flexibility to arrange their chat the best way to suit themselves.

I always reply to whisperers in the main room,to begin with, then I just ignore them or 's as simple as that.

We just do the simple thing, and never reply to univited whispers. We usually just say in the open room " why whisper " whoever the person is which we name. It clearly states that it is rude to whisper WITHOUT asking first and getting a positive response. We also find that 95% of the time it is single guys who whisper, and if it is our room and they persist in whispering, then we boot them, if it is our room.
If everybody ignored uninvited whispers, am sure the confusion in the main room would hardly happen.
