How can I get IM and local chat in single box? On SL Viewer?

[valerie Inshan]

What box? Local chat (which is public) always appears on the screen, whilst IMs appear in their own window and they are private.

Please clarify your question: use "options" > "Edit" at the top right corner of your post to add text, or press "Permalink" under a reply to type a comment. Please DO NOT start a new thread. Thank you. :smileyhappy:

I think it's the same as in Firestorm:

      Preferences >> Chat >> Notifications >>>Show IMs in nearby chat window

I believe that it's also in your Advanced (CTRL + Alt + D) menu in V3

Good question. I know that in Firestorm, you can click Nearby Chat at the bottom of the screen to have it appear in the gray window where you see your contacts and groups, on a tab on the side. Below that would appear tabs with your IMs and group chat. I don't know if this feature is on the official viewer, or not.

In the latest Beta viewer it is like that by default. It should make its way into the Standard viewer soon. It's called CHUI.

Dex!

Here is a link to the info and the corresponding video. I use the Beta viewer and I was shocked and hated the new interface, CHUI, but after seeing the video I feel much better about it.

You are correct, almost. In Me > Preferences > Chat you can choose Show IMs in: Separate Windows or Tabs. If you choose tabs, all of your IMs will show up in one window with tabs for each person IMing you.

I THOUGHT there was something like that in V3. There always used to be. It was introduced with V2 a couple of years ago, so I figured it had to still be there somewhere.

Yep, but the local will still show in a separate local chat floater, just the IMs show as tabs. With the new CHUI all of that is in one box, which I do not care for, but then again I am sure I will get used to it. I actually disabled my chat as much as I could until I figure it all out. It's weird having two of your accounts talk to each other just to get it all sorted
