was happy! finally, my chat filters and colors stayed put when i logged, after ages of them resetting several times a day. All was right in the universe!
And then...
Sony apparently decided that the peace and happiness i felt when i logged on should be replaced again with frustration and hostility, and they went "live" with tabbed windows. at first, i was optimistic, even thinking "
i can get rid of a few windows, will clean up my screen and all will be good". sadly, this optimism lasted only a few minutes when i made my first tab. looked nice, set my filters for it, clicked okay and poof, same old crap text from my main chat window that i was trying to weed out in the first place. i opened the chat filter again, and all my lovely little check marks had procreated. i unchecked everything, clicked okay and POOF, same doo doo, same window, different moment. finally gave up, closed that tab and figured i was just fine with my 5 (yes, i know, but really each has a purpose) windows since i started playing, i'll be fine with em now. oh but alas, now...now slowly but surely, through out the nite, text starts jumping into different windows, randomly and then progressively, important text starts to disappear completely while being replaced by "you start fighting...you stop fighting" and by the end of my play time, i've got 4 windows with pretty much nothing but that text and can't find anything like what i'm harvesting, how much damage my poison is doing and even camping message"
I've tried opening chat options, clearing the checks and reinputting my filters, but it seems to reset the second i hit okay. I've tried deleting (recent, EQ2, UI, you name it, short of completely uninstalling the game and restarting) and starting over, works great until the first time i start melee'g and i get "you start fighting" in all but one of my windows.
this is beyond an inconvenience, i seriously can't function properly in game because i'm constantly losing something. anyone have any ideas? i'm desperate
