Hello!
Replying to a whisper in most cases should be a whisper however if you toggle whisper to make it public again, the post continues to be a whisper. This often requires me to delete that post and repost at the top level.
Is this the intended functionality?
See:
Yes, it is. Once you whisper, there’s no way to make it public again.
If you want, just copy & paste into another post and delete your whisper.
My question then would be when replying, if I haven’t explicitly made it a whisper, why would the toggle whisper option be there? I don’t mean reverting the original whisper here, I mean replying to a whisper but toggling that.
Idk seems strange to have a toggle option that doesn’t toggle.
If you reply to a whisper, it’ll automatically be a whisper. But I agree we should not show the toggle in that case.
That would be my thought as well. Either hide the toggle or actually allow the toggle. I personally would prefer allowing the toggle however either would work.
I’m for hiding it, whisper can be risky, and anything that might push you in a state where you would end up thinking your message is a whisper and is in fact not a whisper is to be avoided I think.
@jordan1909 we won’t show the whisper toggle when replying to a whisper anymore

Excellent! Glad to see that put in place.
