That might be nice. To analogize: I'm a mechanic. I'm very skilled on a certain class of cars and can usually extend that information to other cars. But I've been asked to work on a boat. There are some similarities but so much is different. And everything I find regarding working on boats assumes the reader is starting from the position of being a sailor. I'm okay with learning some sailing basics but the best I get when asking for help is "learn some sailing basics." Meanwhile my boss does not understand why I'm having such a hard time; cars and boats both use the same kind of engine. What's the delay? It's not that I don't appreciate the help. But so far I'm just getting a finger pointed into a completely dark room and told to take a look in there. Somewhere. Maybe on the shelf on the right. Or is it the left? Or does this room even have a shelf? I'm running across some postings leading me to believe that it's not just a separate client but a separate app. Or maybe it isn't. I'm in the control panel (after fumbling around found it is not installed on edge servers) and see not. One. Single. Mention. of chatrooms persistent or otherwise. I'm sorry Steven but vague "learn some basic" without a single pointer of any kind isn't 'helping, it's adding to the frustration.
