Why did you put a picture icon on the chat button? What was the point of that? Please change it back.
The history button is gone. Another bad idea. Put it back.
"Communicate" and "Local Chat" both do exactly the same thing. You've added a completely pointless button! Delete one. That will make room for the replacement of the controls you removed (see above).
I keep hitting "Release keys" by accident (and losing my scripted attachments, INCLUDING MY HEAD) since it's now crammed up against the chat controls. Put it back where it was, out of the way.
Having Shout on a pull down tab really stinks. The old shout button worked just fine.
I really hope you guys aren't pulling an Adobe, and moving things around in a desperate bid to make things seem fresh. All you've done is cocked the controls up. Put everything back, and stop screwing with it. Everybody's used to the normal, standard, old control layout, and having you taking the buttons out from under my hands really, really, pissing me off. It does not inspire me to shower you with praise, instead I feel like picking up large heavy objects and throwing in your general direction.
It's annoying.
STOP DOING IT.
Local Chat and Communicate are not the same, Communicate functions like it used to do, pressing it will focus on the last IM you were viewing, if you happen to be viewing Local Chat (History) last then it will focus on Local Chat giving the appearance they are the same.
Personally never used the Shout button so never noticed this change, I always used Ctrl-Enter to shout.
