You'll only get an icon in the neocom if it has one of the un-closeable channels in it - Local, Corp, Alliance, Militia or Incursion.

Stacks without those will disappear unless you do the leave/rejoin trick or go find it in ctrl-tab listing.

There's a reason I've asked many times for the ability to toggle the un-closeable behavior that LCAMI channels have on any channel we want. Sad

Ah, that's one thing I couldn't have spotted. Have all corp/alliance related chats in one, local and intel in another so no matter which one I minimized, there'd be a un-closeable.

Yep. I try to spread them out as much as possible so I don't accidentally close things, but I'm not in an alliance so I have local and corp all the time keeping two stacks alive, and two more stacks that don't have one of those channels - one gets Incursion local whenever I'm in one, but the other I just have to be careful with all the time.

I probably could put fleet in that stack when i'm in a fleet, to be fair, but it's usually in either the corp or local stacks for convenience.

Just another reason why that behavior is something that would be nice to toggle on other channels. Smile

This 'feature' if working as intended just shows CCP DEVs are unaware of how chats are used at all by people in corps/alliances/ multi chat social fleet environments. the UI development failed in this account

Toros Revoke Likes received: 37	#48 - 2012-01-24 22:22:41 UTC Excellent thankyou, the blinking button has been destroyed that it may return another day when any change is made to the client, would that it could be killed for good. So now that this much sought after and totally useful (like **** on a fish) neocom change has been implemented, when can I get the fighter bay shielding back on my Archon?

Nice to know. I did log on an alt to check my pos and the first thing I thought was, "oh hell, do I have to put up with that blinking all the time and why do I need it there?"

It just seems like a weird idea tbh and kinda pointless. What?

Blinking fracking icons CCP? Two steps forward, one step back.

What frustrates me the most is that it is impossible that it got to general release without anyone ever saying "hey, that's annoying", so somebody must have overruled that thought and said "put it in anyway".

I wish there was a way to make a hammer hit that person in the head every time the icon blinked.

Naw, what we should do is go to Iceland and tape blinkin' LEDs to the sides and top of every developer's monitor(s). Then see how much they like it after the first few hours.

(The bright blue LEDs would probably get the point across the best, but don't forget the other colors. And if you can make them blink in random intervals, that works extremely well.)

Mr M Sebiestor Tribe Likes received: 474	#51 - 2012-01-25 00:02:25 UTC I found it easier to just turn off the blink on non vital channels but keep it for corp or other places where you can get a recon report or similar important things that you don't want to miss.
