Private Lines

So I noticed the insert private lines option has been modified a bit.

I just had a question or two. And perhaps even a problem.




My first question is:

When choosing to insert a private line, I am given the option to choose who it addresses. If I pick two recipients, do I have to choose the exclude options too? Because I noticed that's a new feature and I was wondering, if I don't choose the exclude certain people, do only the recipients still see it?




My other issue is when I attempted to insert a private line to two recipients in an in-game post, it sent the entire post via PM instead of posting in the thread in the game. Did I click something wrong? I can't figure out how I did that. I would like to avoid it happening again. As the GM, I noticed it happened to another player of mine too.

Exclude was there before.  It just makes it easier if you have 20 players and don't want to send it to two of them.  Select all and then just tick the exclude boxes for the two left out.  Otherwise, ignore it and just check the recipients you want to send the private line to.

As for the other, that happens when you select the names that are right below the text box for the post rather than going to the drop down menu to select "Insert a private line:".  It turns your game post into a PM if you tick any of the names under the text box.  It's a quirky feature that tripped me up a lot when I first started using my iPad for posting, and I'd accidentally touch someone's name as I was typing my in-game post.

Hope this helps.
