Per-Message Profiles (MSC 4144)

A Per-Message Profile (PMP) is a method to change the icon and username shown on a specific message without needing to constantly change the avatar and name of youself in a space, or setting up alt-accounts. They are called personas in Sable.

Enabling Personas (PMPs)

1. Go to your settings by clicking your icon in the bottom left of the window

   

2. Click into the "Experimental" tab

   

3. Check the box near the bottom named "Personas (Per Message Profiles)"

   

4. You can now use PMPs! Even if other people don't have this box checked, they can still see your PMPs.

Creating PMPs

1. Go into your settings

   

2. Click on the Personas settings tab

   

3. On the Personas settings page, click the add button next to "Per Message Profiles"

   

4. Change the profile ID to a helpful shortcode. This will be what you use to swap between per-message profiles.

   

5. Change Display Name to the name you want to show up when you send messages.

   

6. Change the pronouns which will show up when you send messages.

   

7. And press the upload button to select an icon that will show up when you send a message.

   

8. Once you have setup all of the options in section 4 through 7, press the save button

   

9. You can now use the profile in any room you want!

Swapping PMPs

To change the PMP you use in a chatroom, you will need to use the /usepmp command. To do that

1. Go into the room you'd like to use the PMP in
2. type "/usepmp" and either press tab, or click the "/usepmp? button that shows up above the chatbox.

   

3. You'll know the message will be a command if "/usepmp" appears in a colored box after doing step 2.

   

4. Lastly, put in the ID you setup for your PMP into the command, and send it

   

5. You should see an alert that is shown only to you which looks like this

   

   
   
6. All messages you now send will be through the PMP you set!
