Go to a chat box you are using and press CTRL + Up or Down and you will be able to retrieve the last messages you sent.

Is this a new feature? Has this always been there and I suffered without it for 5 years?

If it is a new feature? Which DEV implemented it? Because you blew my mind away, I was like WTF OMG, amazed that this has been implemented.

Great stuff, thanks!! Lol

Recruitment spamming efficiency has increased 30%

"We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming.

the order is actually kind of confusing, and once I was going to try to fix it, but then decided people can just repeat until they get the correct one (since the only complaints I've "heard" about it have been inside my own head P )

I can complain about it. It's what many macros and spammers use since it allows them to repost their stuff easily, as well including links to their messages, something that is not possible by cop/paste.

As for regular users, I think it's being used very rarely, so for all I care I'd like to see it removed, only to make it harder for spammers and macros to ruin the social interaction.

I use it, please only speak for yourself. Being Eve Famous doesn't give you the right to speak for anyone but yourself, or at least that's the way it should be.

Sorry, don't mean to be rude and that was ambiguous.

What I meant was that your conclusion was drawn on the assumption that most people don't use the feature, not that you were casting my vote literally to remove it.

Yeah sorry my assumption is really this, purely for the reason that I don't see what it does for most people as it is really just a tool for repeating oneself, and overall from all the chat statistics I have at my disposal, the average chatter isn't really repeating themselves so much that they would use this feature - at least not repeating themselves as much within a short period of time that it would go quicker to retype their sentence compared to finding it in the "history list".

Hence, I would put the users of the feature into the category of posting the same thing very often - aka spammers of varying degrees, be it every 20 seconds or 30 minutes.

Pilots can definitely change my view of this feature assuming it can be described to me how it can be beneficial in a non-spam/macro way. Unfortunately until then I will most likely keep thinking maybe it at the moment is doing more damage than good.

Feel free to enlighten me how you use it, if in a different way from my views. But then, there's fare more efficient ways to remove the spam/bots posting every 20s so I'd happily have that done over removing a feature that is used by real pilots Smile

Did you know you can use ctrl+pageup/pagedown to flip between tabs in the same window? Also handy. not just for chat. Though it gets a little confused when you stick, say, S&I into another window. It'll just tab between S&I tabs once you're on it.

Woo! CSM XI!

Fc 's repeating a message as people join fleet. For example. Eve is also a coop game. There are plenty of reasons you might want to repeat a message to friends.

Maxim 6. If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.
