There is a new version of chat up that will hopefully address some of the problems we've been having with unsociable behavior.

Click on a user's name in the list to the right to access one of these new functions:

1) Whisper a private message to that user.
2) Ignore all messages from the user for the remainder of the session.

Mods and Admins now have the ability to boot out disruptive users as well. Booted users will not be allowed to re-enter chat for 24 hours.

Hope this helps.

What happens if there are people you need to boot out but there are no mods around? That has happened to me quite a lot!

as i apparently didn't have the latest flash player for it to work... and the poor chat room ... at least those in at the time had to put up with my frustrations... so you all know...

UPDATE FLASH PLAYER THEN RESTART THE COMPUTER

then it will work for whispering or ignoring people.

If there is no mod around, you can go to log in info and see who's logged on. Usually there is one of us online even if we are not in the chat room.
If that doesnt help try the game info section and PM the mods/editors with the player's name. We will see your PM when we log in and rush to the rescue :P

Tested the new functions with a couple of other detectives.

Thank you for this.

One problem is that they only work in Internet Explorer.

Players using Firefox will not have access to the whisper or ignore user commands.

They can recieve but not send private messages.

They do not have access to the ignore user option.

I had heard that was because you needed an updated flash player, not because of firefox specifically?

OK, I updated flash, restarted my firefox and was still not able to use the whisper/ignore feature. I left to eat breakfast, then came back and now am able to left click on a name and send messages and ignore through firefox. I am not sure what happened while I stuffed my face, but I am happy I can now use the features.

:) Thank you Ben for constantly updating and working on Sleuth.

I have access to the functions in Firefox and IE. Your version of flash needs to be the most updated for it to work though. It is version 9.0.28.0 and is available at:
