Please add the ability to see when someone being corresponded with is typing.

When having a conversation with someone, there quite often is a very long delay until a response is received. I don’t know if this is due to servers being far away, lazy electrons, the other person scratching their butt or, they may just be typing a very long message. Other websites and messaging apps show when the other person is typing.

This isn’t a messaging site or a chat room. Maybe it’s just me, but needing to see when someone is typing walks a fine line with stalking.

@Pinkstarburst That's a snarky reply, accusing me of stalking, when I am trying to have an adult conversation with an other member.

@Father2 🤷🏻‍♀ I’m a snarky kind of girl

That's the whole difference between chatting and messaging. Chatting only results in pointless arguments as both parties become impatient, as they get nowhere with one liners.

Messaging is like email, where one has to write atleast a paragraph and write wholesomely allowing other party adequate time to read understand and respond. For your age you must have known the snail mail postal days when people wait for months to get a response and phone calls being expensive.

It's the technology that has rendered the new generation impatient.

Also everyone has many others to attend.

So write as much in a single message and look for reply at least after half hour. Don't insist on people to be online whenever you are.

Nothing here advertises itself as a live chat. This need for instant gratification or to be assured that someone is indeed giving you their attention in trying to type even if they are taking a while is a little creepy.

Why tarnish the word "father" by creating a fetish account using it?

Why?

This isn't that kind of site.

Dude needs to learn patience, it’s not instant messenger

Maybe they are busy and can't get to your message right away
I don't think that feature is possible in SW.

Too intrusive. Not a good idea.
