I understand its beta and of course will have bugs, just hope they find a way to fix the space issue in channel names, till then guess i gotta click tabs to send to the channels.

hey hey, not read all this thread or logged on since the patch yet but i hope its working :-/.

In reply to the above quote comeback_kid, you can use /send <channelname> but if the channel has spaces then u must use /send "<channelname>".

I'm always in global (as in "Global") and my handles the same as here. May i recommend if you have a regular channel you use then you try this bind, full stop (period to you folks) is quite handy for most people but anything near enter is generally handy ---/bind<SPACE><key><SPACE>beginchat /send "<channelname>"<SPACE>--- for those of you that know about spaces for these things it looks like /bind KEY beginchat /send "CHANNEL" . Dont forget the final space tho or you have to hit it every time you use the key. Voila! Hit that key and you've got your fave channel.

Send me a /t @, if you can't get it working .

Have fun peeps, Plightus Debtimus O_@

Relentless · 02-15-2005 11:24 AM

Same on Triumph, I get the 'thanks for testing' message but can't do anything with it.

Jayyde · 02-15-2005 12:09 PM

I just got a msg saying i'm on and i can see my list...but i still can't chat in a certain channel

Crystalblue · 02-15-2005 12:19 PM

So there... just had to add the Channels to the Tabs again.

It works for me now...

This space is intentionally left blank.

Generic_Past · 02-15-2005 01:35 PM

Now GC is down again (Pinnacle at least)

This space is intentionally left blank.

AmericanWoman · 02-15-2005 01:37 PM

Pinnacle GC just went down.

Lohenien · 02-15-2005 02:06 PM

Down on Guardian as well.

Any clue when it'll be back up?

Jayyde · 02-15-2005 02:07 PM

tease! the GC is up and the channels were up for a bit then they just dropped from the face of the planet again.

Repojam · 02-15-2005 04:28 PM

Global Chat is not currently functioning on Protector.

Novaflare · 02-15-2005 04:29 PM

not functioning on Freedom either...

JenniGunn · 02-15-2005 04:34 PM

Not working on Virtue either.

TheFatNinja · 02-15-2005 04:41 PM

And Victory

Psycho_Vargas · 02-15-2005 04:58 PM

Why do you tease us so? PLease, We know it's still Beta but it worked so well for us

This is a plea to bring it back....Even in Beta form it was what we needed as a 5 Supergroup alliance to communicate properly.

You get a huge "BOOOOO!!!!" for letting us have a bite then taking it from our plate.

Novaflare · 02-15-2005 05:03 PM

same goes for my SG collective, which we call Doom Supremacy as a whole. While yes it was a little clunky to use and not perfect, it actually did its purpose 100% of the time, which was act as a common chat so that all the separate groups can comminicate more effectively

Yes we knew coalition chat was going to come out and that it was likely to be a whole lot better than this and probably different in several ways, but Global Chat worked well enough to do what we wanted it to do....

CRasch · 02-15-2005 05:46 PM

Darn it's down on Gardian too. I guess the latest patch disbled it.

bruce_NA · 02-15-2005 05:58 PM

It's not down because of the patch. We found a crash that only happens for certain kinds of messages, made a fix, and hope to have it up again soon once QA signs off on it.

You may be wondering, "If it's beta, why does it need to be QA'd?"
QA almost always checks even the most minor fixes to make sure we didn't do something stupid like make every member of the "kill skuls" forum an admin or something.

lol, at least we know now why it was pulled

Wenchie · 02-15-2005 06:35 PM

Does this mean once it goes back into live mode that everything we have set up will be gone? I really don't want to lose all of that.. i moved too many people over to GC.

Don't think the Tnaker chat would notice... they seem pretty liberal with sharing their power...

Good to know why though... I kinda missed it today!
