Thread: spaces in names

  1. #1

    Default spaces in names

    someone whispered me, and i couldn't reply cos his name has a space in it.

    is this normal?

    Edit: oh yeah - and i ran out of "speakers" trying to contact him.

    lame.

    For those who do not pay attention to the chat window when they first log on:

    [System]: If you want to whisper to Mike, type /Mike (Space) Hi Dude. Then Mike will see "Hi Dude" from you.If you want to whisper someone whose name has spaces, such as Jason Bourne, pls type /’Jason Bourne’ (space) hi.

    The whisper system seems to dislike names with spaces in them, the way to get around this is to put the name in single inverted commas.

    So it my name were Mala Fae and you wished to whisper me, then you would send a whisper to "/'Mala Fae' *Insert message here*"

    Hope that helps,

    Also, the alliance channel doesn't require speakers, perhaps you could try whispering to said person when talking in the alliance channel?

    I haven't tested that part, but I believe it works.

    well, i whisper to people by clicking on their name and selecting whisper. this doesn't seem to work with people with spaces in their name, so i have to manually type that in which gets annoying after a while.

    I usually just mail people with spaces, it allows you to type alot more and you can simply hit reply the next time they send you something rather than typing the name manually or inserting commas around names.

    no thats how chat worked from before, people with spaces need to be put in quotations otherwise the system things you're messaging a person with the first word only.

    It's been this way since I started. it only takes a second to add commas before typing what you wish to say... yeesh.
