O.P. Sending invisible text?
Hi,

Is there a way to add a text string to a message, which cannot be seen (both by people with Plus! and without), without making the message itself invisible?

Thanks in advance.

How could you append text to a message that isn't seen by someone without Plus!? It is impossible.

No.



There isn't something like 'invisible' text. That can't be made. Text consists of characters and to show a character you need a font. If you don't want to show anything, you don't have text...

The 'closest' you can get is adding white text in the hope that your contact is using a white background and doesn't highlight the conversation window. In other words: the chance that he sees the text is still extremely high...


btw, what's the point in adding 'invisible' text if the purpose is that your contact can't see it?

-------

Unless you're talking about how two Plus! scripts can interact with eachother without the data traffic being visible in the conversation window.

But that is far from 'how to make text invisible', it's something entirly different and there are some different methods for that ranging from P2P traffic (completely 'invisible' to a conversation) to sending command strings (which would still be visible in some way).

Like I said, either by contacting the computer of your contact directly like in a P2P (point to point) connection, but that is very hard to do.

Or either by simply sending your own commands to your contact. Such scripts recieve the commands via the conversation, so it would still be visible though... But the visible 'text' could be whatever you want, for example encrypted like riahc said, so that the humans can't read or interpret it...

In whatever case, both you and the contact need to have a script. And since both need to have a script, why would you still send 'invisible' stuff. I mean, your contact must install the script, so he knows what the script does and why he has installed it anyways. You might as well just send 'visible' text/commands in that case since there is nothing to 'hide' or 'secret' about it anymore.
