3d Dice and whisper rolls

I have looked and most of these topics are very old. It is a simple request, only the person rolling, and the GM see the 3D dice.  If the GM rolls 3D dice, I want only the GM to see them.  Has this issue been fixed?  If not, why?  I see a request to fix this bug 8 years ago...
I would love to see this issue fixed.  I have turned off my 3d dice because I don't want people to see my dice when I roll "behind he screen."

If the GM makes a /w gm roll, the players don't see anything.  I don't see any dice the gm rolls as a gm whisper in games in which I play, and my players have never seen dice for any rolls I make to myself when I am the GM.  All games I have been in have used 3D dice.
I don't want to type gm roll every time.  I have campaign settings to whisper all roles so I don't have to type a macro every time.  I will troubleshoot later tonight, but it seems silly that a GM has to troubleshoot this issue when I pay for the service...especially if it hasn't been fixed after 8 years.  I'll see how dynamic lighting goes, but if I find issues I'll be lighting up the forums until roll20 gets on it, or I'll take my business elsewhere.

Preach brothah.  Just counting the sessions till my dragonheist campaign finishes here then I can move fully to Foundry.  What honestly did it in for me here was when they raised the price of Pro while not doing anything about the 10000 shared co-DM expoiting sessions out there of all the various west march and one shot servers that bleed this service dry during prime time US game times.  If they want to save on costs they should start cracking down on that crap instead of raising the price on my subscription while I'm sittin here every night waiting 20 seconds for dice to roll.  Don't even get me started on UDL though I will say this, don't bother complaining about it, it falls on deaf ears.  The Devs don't use their product.  Assigning permissions to a macro on the collections tab should tell you all you need to know about how often a Dev hosts a dnd session over roll20.

Did you apply the settings in game?  If you didn't, setting the campaign default will only affect sheets that are created after you set that default.
The fact that it doesn't modify everything collectively is like wearing pants on your head, seriously stupid.  It's a global setting so I don't have to delete every single character NPC and re-make them simply because the developers either don't know how or don't care.  If the answer is then to copy the entire campaign so that everything starts with the new defaults...that is still a VERY bad answer and there could be an "apply settings" button that essentially copies and pastes everything with the new global setting rather than having to re-invite everyone and re-assign compendium slots.  It has become apparent that roll20 is becoming clunkier as it ages and makes me feel I am working with MS dos and working for roll20....when I am paying THEM. I have spent a good amount of money on digital books to beef up my charactermancer to make it easier for my new players, but I'd hate for that to be a waste of money if I have to repurchase the material on another platform to do the same thing.  Likely how they keep their players as other virtual tabletops have launched ahead of roll20 in terms of quality, UI, and speed. If anything my monthly subscription should be, roll20 - 5th Ed d&d and give access to ALL CONTENT FOR D&D.  As it is a subscription service, ALL content is what should be included in the subscription.  Subscription plus buying the books was fine when roll20 was the best option...I am seriously rethinking my use, especially since I have yet to see any roll20 dev respond in this forum...don't they have paid employees monitoring forums to help people out?  If they prove to me they don't care about their own business why should I be giving them money? Wow, this got me riled up, I despise laziness almost as much as incompetence...

I have no idea what you are talking about here.  You don't have to delete anything.  If you change the default campaign setting, then it doesn't automatically change everything in game, but affects everything you create after.  If you want the default settings to be applied to everything that has already been created, then you hit the button in the in-game settings that does that.

After re-reading, I don't actually think you understand my complaint.
