Unfortunately, do to RL I couldn’t make the Linden office hours today to protest about the chat bug (grrr!), but I heard it went well and that the Tinies of the Shire really made the point. Apparently LL has assigned a team to work on the bug. Go Tinies!!

Group chat failures are a complex problem. There are many possible
ways chat can fail. Here’s how you can help fix the problem.As a first step, please collect a list of all error messages you see
when using group chat. Copy the errors exactly as you see them, and
put them on a page located below:
https://wiki.secondlife.com/w/index.php?title=Group_Chat_Failure_Messages* Create the page if you’re the first one with information.
* Don’t worry about adding lots of details. This should be a short
list without repeats or lots of extra notes.
* Give everyone a few days to add their errors, since different resis
often experience different problems.Once we’re sure we have a list, we can create a survey to collect more
information. We’ll ask about the computers, internet connections, time
of day, and other factors common to these errors. If we’re lucky, we
can help the dev teams better understand what’s failing.
It went VERY well, Az. It was the first bug they discussed on the agenda, and even the Lindens are getting dinged as bad as we are. And we also discussed many other bugs that have cropped up, such as voice chat problems. It was my first bug triage meeting(and perhaps so for most of us there) and it was pretty cool experience for those of us technically inclined.
And for not being able to make it to the meeting, don't worry. I got a Linden Bear for you as a consolation :)
