Whisper from GM

Just a question. Should /w playername or /w charactername from the GM produce a message that is only visible to the GM and the player concerned? I can't test this between sessions because it gives the 'are you insane' message if you try to whisper from GM to yourself as player. I found this old thread but it wasn't clear what the resolution was <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/61842/whisper-to-slash-from-gm-issue#post-70106" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/61842/whisper-to-slash-from-gm-issue#post-70106</a>

it sends the message to the specified character that only the gm and player/character sees. I use it alot in my games.
Well it sends a message that only the Sender and Receiver see. GMs cannot (and will not ever be able to) see whispers between players.

true but I just posted in response to his question as a message between the gm and a player.
Thanks for the response Metroknight. Since This is NOT what happened yesterday on DEV I will raise a bug in the Mentor forum.

Ah, on the Dev server. It usually works on the main server where I run my game as it has worked for the last 10 sessions. Sorry that I couldn't offer any other help in it.
