New Feature: Whispers

You can now "whisper" in a similar way to using quotes.
Wrap the text you want to whisper with [whisper]this[/whisper] and you will end up with something like this:

Whisper (Click to reveal)

This effectively acts as a "spoiler" if you want to post something that somebody might want to avoid reading - just be sure to add a warning so they know what they're getting themselves into!

Additionally, and probably most desirably, if whispers are used within a shout, only you and the person the shout is going to (and mods) are able to view the whisper, so prying eyes will be unable to view your secret message.

Have fun! ๐Ÿ˜

Itโ€™s been requested a number of times to have some sort of โ€œprivateโ€ messaging. Hopefully this is close enough. ๐Ÿ˜…

@Max it's "whisper" not "Whisper"
