Local Chat/Activity Update - Anyone Noticed?

Just trying to figure out the change....I love the update where it now tells you which street you just came from and to which street you ended up on (mostly the former info!), but every time I hit a new street, I now get a speech bubble above my Glitch with my name and a colon after it.  Anyone know if it's supposed to be there and if so, what it's supposed to say????!

Inquiring minds and all that.....  ;)

  • Don't worry about the empty speech bubble, it's a "side effect" of the local chat update and will be fixed.  If you look carefully, it does say something before you change streets, but I never have enough time to see what it is.

  • OK, that makes sense!  Not worried, just curious if it was a pending new feature....(my speech bubble just said "MiNu:")  ;).....thx for the response!

  • Getting it too.  Sure it's temporary.  Love the new chat info.

  • It's a bug, I reported it.

  • I wish those street names were "live" so that we could use them to navigate backwards and retrace our route. (Would be especially useful on home streets!)

  • Oooh - great idea.

  • stoot, it would be amazing if Local Chat was in a separate window from Activity.  I love both, but I keep missing people trying to talk to me in local chat because of my harvesting and nibbling. 

    Please, can we get these windows separated?  Tabbed on top of each other, that way we can alternate.

  • And like in GNE, how you had a log of what you dropped/picked up. But I'm sure there's a reason behind it...

  • We are talking about lots more logging. And, we are talking about the ability to filter local chat vs activity. We'll figure this out!

  • Separating chat from activity would be lovely. I have hoped for something like that for awhile. :)

  • Now we can tell if you had a qurazy quoin on this street, or that street!

  • If we're talking about more logging, can we talk about getting that out in a text file and/or via a feed through the API?

  • We could have a log log!

  • Oh stoot, that's wonderful. Thank you!

  • We implemented Pascale's suggestion today. The location names in the logs are now links. SO useful for home street wanders. Again, great idea. Thanks!

    And, Magic Monkey, we are thinking about how best to give you lotsa logs.

  • The links in chat are wonderful! Thank you. And while I'm at it, fwiw, I really like the use of italics in chat that distinguish certain actionsand the way the growl is working now.....oh and being able to get home without using a token, and, well everything!

  • @Stoot, re Logs:

    JSON!  More JSON please.  Or XML.  Something I can parse. I've got plans to parse the text that's currently available in the chat window to get a start on things, but...yeah, structured data format doubleplusgood.

  • One major log that would be a plus, even though it might be on a expensive & sad note, would be to see what we donated to shrines.  Granted we can't get the items back but it would be nice to know my alchemy tongs went missing again ;)
