A Whisper Syst3m Is Born!
Submitted: 2008-03-20 02:00:58
Okay, it's rather late (or early) and I'm going to bed, but before I go I thought I might tell you a little bit about the new whisper syst3m (like that!) I have just built.Firstly, for those that don't know, to access your 'profile' all you need to do is click on your username. I've changed this slightly as it used to be a 'manage' link, but if you go to your profile you can see the details available and from there can click a link to edit those details'
There is now a comment counter that tells us how many comments you've posted and the top three commentors get a funky little 'Trophy'! (This only works if you post comments under your own username or a combination of your first or last name or together, obviously those that aren't logged in when they post will not be recorded in this manner. So please make sure you post whilst logged in with either your username, first name, last name, or both).
But, further to this I have just finished the first steps to a 'whisper' syst3m that will allow you to send 'whispers' (yes stolen from the forum!) to anyone else registered to the site. Just click your username and then click the 'whispers' link to be taken to your inbox. From there you can manage your whispers and write new ones to other members of the site.
Funky hey!? All whispers are private so no-one else can read them. Once you've had a play with them let me know what you think and feel free to offer tips and bugs to me so I can make it a better part of the site
For now, enjoy!

Yes, but how amazingly awesome is it! And how much is it used! The whispers are now the biggest table in our database by quite a long way with over 300 sent!

dear dear me - you clearly have too much time on your hands - sounds like a decent little feature though - if it gets used...
*goes to whisper at people*
