Thanks for putting the groups into a sub-menu in the cat pane; this really makes it easier to see friends who had the bad taste to start their name with a letter late in the alphabet.
I do not like having to open my group chat window EVERY time I sign on and also I do NOT like not knowing who is/isn't in room. First BAD thing TS has done.
Holly - if you leave the room open when you leave the game, it'll continue to stay open when you log back in.
I kinda miss seeing who's in the room when I log in as well - I didn't realize that this change affected that - but /who takes care of that pretty easily and I can deal with that.
There has been a bug for awhile where sometimes it shows you who is in the group chat room when you log in, and sometimes it doesn't (most often doesn't). Changing locations, then typing /who in the group chat window will show you this, or typing /who in the local chat first, then the group chat.
I am aware of the bug in chat and also of the /who command (which also still sometimes doesn't work) but ty for your thoughts.
Spacekadt-is there a certain real time time frame for this? The last two days it has not been open for me. I "exit the world", but I never "sign out" of the chat or the main page just close browser and shut down computer. It used to stay open for me before. Maybe it is a new thing-maybe it is buggy.
Holly - I'm not sure. I've never had a chat window be closed if I left it open. Might be worth a bug report if they're closing on you. I agree that would be obnoxious, especially with the new change. :(
Group chat stayed open when I logged in last night so either it was me (i had cleared cache so that might have reset it) or it WAS a bug which has now been fixed. Either way I will deal.
If you have your browser set to clear cache and everything on exit your IMs and group chats will have to be reopened. Only when you clear cache does it close out all the windows you had up.
