Viewing members of other chat channels

Unread post by sheik » Sun Nov 02, 2008 6:03 pm

Where the word "social" is, or whatever channel your currently in, if you could click that and it would give you a drop down menu with other channels that would be cool. Wouldn't have to switch channels to see other people, (yes i know you can type /who "channel", but I think if you have the word of the current channel there might as well make it do other things too, if it's not a big deal)

When they can't find you, you'll turn into a mystery,
but you're no mystery to me.

Apart from just being a word, the channel title and list of people shows your current default channel. If you changed the sidebar to a different channel while remaining in your current default, then you'll end up getting confused about where you are, and there'll be a ton of misfires. No, really.

To be honest, I have to take a long, hard look at chat, because while it works well, it leaks memory like a sieve and the constant refreshing of that sidebar is a really annoying drain on resources. Leave it with me and I'll see if I can come up with something.
