Replies

Guilded's versatile reply features are an excellent tool for organizing chat conversations. Let's explore each one:

• Message Replies: Respond directly to a specific message in a channel. This handy feature helps you keep track of different conversations happening simultaneously.
• Multi-Replies: Save valuable time by responding to multiple messages at once. 
• Private Replies: Ensure privacy by sending messages to an individual or a small group without others seeing them. Ideal for confidential or sensitive conversations.
• Moderator View: A valuable tool for moderators, providing an easy way to monitor channel activity, manage discussions, and swiftly address issues.

These features enhance your Guilded messaging experience, making it smoother and more enjoyable. Please note that the ability to send private replies is a role permission, disabled by default. Server owners and admins can enable this option under Chat permissions, allowing members to use private messages.

Reply types are color-coded so you can quickly identify what kind of reply you are using. 

• Blue is a message selected to send a reply.
• Yellow is when you have received a reply that mentions you, and you will receive a notification.
• Purple is a Private reply and will show that at the bottom of the message. [role permissions required]
• Lavender is the Moderator view for Private replies [role permissions required]

Message replies

• To reply to a message, hover over (or long-press on) a message and hit the reply button.

• The message selected will be highlighted in blue.

• A new bar will appear above the chatbox, telling you who you are replying to. At this bar's end are three icons: mentions, private reply, and close.

• Mentions are enabled by default and will notify the recipient that a reply has been made to their message.

• If you don't want to mention (ping) someone, click the @ button to turn it off.

Multi-replies

You can reply to up to five messages at once with multiple replies. Keep hitting that button on each message you want to respond to, and watch the replies stack up.

• Each message you want to reply to will be highlighted in blue. Select up to 5, type your message, and press send! 

Note: you can't mix reply types; for example, you can't include private and non-private replies.

• If you want to cancel any reply selections, hover over the message you don't want to reply to before you hit send and click the button to remove it.

Private messages

With private replies, you can reply to messages without everyone else in the channel being able to view them.

The ability to send Private messages is toggled off by default. Server owners and admins will need to enable this for their members to use Private messages. This can be found under Server settings >Roles > Chat permissions.

• If you want to send a private reply, click the button, this will turn purple to let you know that you have selected it. Type your message and press send. The message will be highlighted in purple and show a private reply. Anyone who responds to that message will automatically reply privately. If you change your mind, click the button again to deactivate your private reply.

• You can quickly send a private reply using the /w command

Note: You can't turn off the private replies toggle when replying to a private message. The reply must be private.

Canceling a reply

• If you change your mind and don't want to send a reply, hit the button on the reply bar to cancel at any time. This applies to all reply types.
