Not sure if this is an unintended consequence of the move to the AECB, but it seems to have happened within the last 48 hours.]]> Warning - whispers no longer private https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18278&Focus=308079#Comment_308079 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18278&Focus=308079#Comment_308079 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 14:57:57 +0000 djh Warning - whispers no longer private https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18278&Focus=308080#Comment_308080 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18278&Focus=308080#Comment_308080 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 16:29:53 +0000 Doubting_Thomas Posted By: djhhow do you know that?


Haven't tried it but I guess if you log out and then load the same webpage, you can see whether your whispered comments still appear?]]> Warning - whispers no longer private https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18278&Focus=308081#Comment_308081 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18278&Focus=308081#Comment_308081 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 16:40:19 +0000 djh Warning - whispers no longer private https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18278&Focus=308082#Comment_308082 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18278&Focus=308082#Comment_308082 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 19:27:34 +0000 GBP-Keith Warning - whispers no longer private https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18278&Focus=308083#Comment_308083 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18278&Focus=308083#Comment_308083 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 20:03:10 +0000 Mike1
Posted By: djhSorry Mike, but how do you know that?
I know because, occasionally, if want to make sure I don't miss a new message, I set up an automated page scan using a browser extension, which alerts me to any updates on the page. Normally I stop the scans after a while, but in this case I forgot to do that, so it's been scanning the page every 16 hours (or the next time thereafter if my machine was switched off) for the past 7 months.

It scanned the page again at 03:16 this morning - I'd left my machine on overnight - and when I checked my PC this morning my 7-month-old whisper was reported as a new change. And, when I checked the page, it was indeed visible; consequently I logged on & deleted the text. And finally turned off the page scan.

Anyway, having just checked again, it is no longer visible, so hopefully it was just an unexplained blip.]]> Warning - whispers no longer private https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18278&Focus=308084#Comment_308084 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18278&Focus=308084#Comment_308084 Wed, 26 Mar 2025 20:51:59 +0000 djh Posted By: Mike1I know because, occasionally, if want to make sure I don't miss a new message, I set up an automated page scan using a browser extension, which alerts me to any updates on the page.Sounds like something I might do :) But all I do is look every day at the All Discussions page, where threads with new messages are highlighted (provided you stay logged in).]]> Warning - whispers no longer private https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18278&Focus=308085#Comment_308085 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18278&Focus=308085#Comment_308085 Thu, 27 Mar 2025 08:38:59 +0000 Cliff Pope Ever since as communications have become electronic and more and more complicated everyone has become more and more trusting that everything is secure - this despite almost daily revelations of hacking and information being publicised or stolen.
There's only one safe rule - don't plug anything into a public network. If you want to keep something secret, don't tell anyone.]]>
