Dear VIP Subscribers:

Love sending intimate private messages to the models you're chatting up? We've just streamlined the experience! Now you can seamlessly flip between chatting publicly and chatting privately with a single click. Simply select one of the new tabs now located at the the top of the chat panel, as shown below.



On mobile, tap the Whisper icon next to the Send Message field.



With the Whisper tab selected, your chat conversation will automatically be for your model's eyes only. Any messages you send with the Public Chat tab selected will be visible to all members in the chatroom.

Note: While this new interface eliminates the need to enter a "/" before sending a whisper chat message, that functionality remains available. Also, if you have the "Type in Whispers Only" option toggled on in your chat settings, your messages will only appear under the "Whisper Tab" no matter which tab you have active at the time.

In this update, we have also simplified your access to different tip options. Now you can select a tab for each active tip type, whether you're sending a custom tip, a "Gift" or a token of your affection from our "Holiday" selection. Access to distinct tip types has never been easier.



We are release these quality of life updates to our VIP members first and we'd love your feedback! We hope these modifications to our interface help you keep track of your private chats and tip selections. Please leave your questions and comments below. Quote

I would prefer it if whispers still showed in the public chat feed alongside the rest of the rooms messages as I’ve never had any issues keeping track of a whispered conversation alongside the hussle and bustle of the rest of the room, but I do still like the idea of the whisper tab filtering down the chat box so it’s just mine and the models whispers if for whatever reason I’m just focusing on a private conversation.

I’m someone who typically switches between talking publicly and whispering in the room constantly while I’m in it, so constantly swapping between two different chat feeds is proving to be more of a nuisance than a positive experience for me.

I can see the benefit for members who talk exclusively in public or whispers, but for me it just misses the mark.

Totally agree with previous user message, please, don't implement this change forcibly, if you want, let it as an option to choose (from the settings menu), just in case someone prefer this way...., but honestly, it was much more clear as it 's before, no need to change tab when talking by whisper/public, it's really annoying.
And btw, the text box in the "new" whisper tab grows when you type more than 6 words, moving icons towards sides and deforming the page....., not a very nice way to improve anything...., please tests the changes carefully before implementing.

Same feedback from me. I am currently using my phone if I want yo tip a model. Moreover, the Emojis are nonfunctional from a Chrome or Firefox Laptop. I also agree with the reply that it is a terrible inconvenience to tab from Whispers and back to Open Chat. Who designs these inane "Improvements"? I have been a member for 8 years and quite frankly, am getting a little tired with being a beta tester for some tech flunky. Guys... Seriously, if it ain't broken DON'T FIX IT!

I would be interested to know what testing is actually being done by Flirt when making major changes, the existence of the “Private Beta Testing” topic would suggest that they are doing it, but for an issue as glaringly massive as not even being able to tip while using the desktop version of the site making it into the live version would suggest that the testing that is being done is clearly lacklustre.

And while it is nice that as VIP members we get some say in what is and isn’t implemented to the site, not every VIP member wants to be a part of a trial run for new features (especially when it breaks things like this change seems to have done), and it may be worth making upcoming changes to the site and testing them an opt in feature for VIPs, and give them the ability to discuss the changes in the aforementioned Beta Testing forum.

Terrible improvement. It makes the chat window small and cluttered. I agree with others. Quote

If I may ask .. why do you insist on fixing something that was not broken?

You mention that it "streamlines" the experience .. how does adding additional steps to engaging in a conversation with the model "streamline" it? Also, it is very possible for a model and the members in the room to be having a large group discussion, while the model and a specific member have a side conversation, perhaps about how to deal with a rude guest or other member.

You mention that there is no need to type a "/" any longer but "that functionality remains available," but what you did not say is that using the "/" automatically transitions you to the whisper tab, making it a mandatory switch.

I do not ONLY type in whispers; if necessary, I will type in public chat. I also read the public chat, in case something comes up and I want to be supportive of a model in the face of abusive members and guests. I might also whisper to the model to provide silent support and reassurance.

You mention simplifying the tip options by placing the tip types on different tabs. This was already in place and had been for quite some time, so please do not attempt to gaslight members into thinking that is a change. The only change is that the tab for the tip types was above the options, and now they are below, and the switch/lever/whatever to "Tip Anonymously" was below the options, and now it is above.

I do not know about others, but I personally have no difficulty keeping track of my own whispers with a model, and the fact that they are mixed in with the public chat does not bother me. I can only assume that the reason for this so-called improvement is because someone with a sense of entitlement complained and demanded these changes. However, I agree with the other commenters that these changes were unnecessary and a detraction rather than an improvement.

Please revert the interface back to how it was before these changes were implemented.

My feedback is similar.
In private, the model sometimes talks in public and private randomly, without thinking and that for-ces me to switch back and forth between tabs.
Like the others, I think that this would be okay as an option but not as a fixed change in the site.
Another thing is that chat messages don't seem to wrap. So if I type something lengthy, the text window enlarges so much that it pushes the window edge and chat button off the screen.
I like that Flirt is trying to optimized and improve. However, with this change I have some reservations. Quote

Dear Valued Members and VIP Subscribers,

Thank you for your feedback. Based on your suggestions, we have reversed the changes to our whisper messaging interface.

We plan to continue working to improve your experience and will release an ammended version of these changes in a future update.

Thank you for being devoted and passionate members of our community.

Sincerely,
Team Flirt4Free

Thank you for listening to members and reversing this change.
I would add that, when functioning properly, the DM feature already exists if you want a separate chat window that only includes messages between you and the model, so when DMs are working well it fills the niche that this alternate whisper mode was trying to fill. Quote
