Additional Questions

[alt_selwyn]

Additional questions about the new journal feature may be directed to me (or my staff) here.

(The other entry was growing long.)

Miss Parkinson, I expect to have an answer for you by morning. I believe I have an answer to your question.

Yes, you can make a comment on a journal private by writing 'Private message to whomever' in the subject line of the comment. It should work exactly as it does when you make an entire message private -- everyone will see the subject line, but only the recipients will see the content of the message.

One other remark to all and sundry:

As this is a NEW feature you may expect a few bumps in the road as we get it fully implemented. Please feel free to experiment but be tolerant of slightly idiosyncratic results for the first week or two.

Oh, I did have another question, Mr Selwyn. And someone else may have asked this already but there were a lot of comments on your earlier post, so sorry if you've already answered this one.

Um. So, if someone writes a private message, and you're not the person they wrote to, can you still send them an answer? I mean, if Ernie wrote to Seamus, I know I couldn't see what they wrote, but could I go to that page in my journal and just write 'Hey, Seamus and Ernie, I wonder if you'd be on for Quidditch on Saturday?' and would they get my message?

You will not be able to reply to the private messages unless you are one of the recipients.

So for instance, Miss Perks has sent a private message to Miss Parkinson. If you examine the entry, you will see that you have no way to write a reply to it, though obviously you can write your own entry to Miss Perks should you wish to speak with her.

Oh, I hadn't tried.


Weird. The quill sort of skips off the page. Wicked!


Er, thank you again, sir.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly, Mr Selwyn!
