The GM spoiler is visible to everyone.

I like that hidden idea, Shurijo. However, that ability does not exist in the current forums code that I'm using, so it would require quite a bit of plumbing to work correctly.

Implementing Trogdor's idea right now.

Shurijo's idea is nice too, must have double posted at the same time didn't see it till now. However the PM works well enough for that.

Yeah, PMs will have to work for now.

I could probably whip something up such that a section of a post would only be shown to one player, but it would definitely be a kludge and only work in certain circumstances (ie: I'm pretty sure it would be possible for others to see the message).

It seems that PMs are a better solution for now, since those are definitely seen only by the sender and the receiver.

Knowing a little about the codebase, I don't think this is really worth the time. In order to make it go to the GM, the forum would have to know who the GM is, which it currently doesn't. And anything in a post that only goes to one character will have to go to the GM as well. I think PM is a better implementation.

On the other hand, I wouldn't mind having the ability to send a PM to multiple members at once.

Now that I can agree with. Not sure how long that'd take to implement though.

Going to check the TODO list. If it isn't there already (I've wanted this ability before), I'm going to add it.

I'm on board with the PM to more than one person!

act is now the shortcut for Action. I shall leave action in place, but change the help to act. Both act and action will continue to work.
to start.
This is an action

No problem. I'm already finding them useful too, which is why I shortened the action one. :D
