WoW Chat question........

Chris [BEANS] · 20 Sep 2007 at 21:44

I cant for the life of me work out how to chat in the Looking for Group channel.........

Tried /join lookingforgroup but the next time i type it simply comes up as normal chat

Help!!!

Right click General at the top of the chat window, go down to Join New Channel, and tick LookingForGroup should do it (in theory).

Edit: Has that been reinstated then? Was done away with at one point and replaced with that god awful LFG panel.

You only join the lfg channel when you use the lfg ui to look for something.

Just like G-Man said, you need to join the queue for an instance in the lfg ui before you can use the lfg channel. As soon as you join a queue for something, the lfg channel becomes visible. You then just type into it just like any other channel. e.g. /5 (whatever you want to say)

ARRGH!!! Thanks for trying guys, no idea why I cant figure this out!!??
As you can see above, I'm in the channel because it's ticked (right?)
If i type "/5 Looking for whatever" then i get the message "Type /help for a list of commands"

must be doing something very simple wrong but I just can't figure it out!!!???

In your picture in the chat, it is showing the looking for group channel. If you see the number in front of it [4. Looking for Group] in your chat pane, you use that number to type in the channel, so instead of using /5, use /4 and then try to type instead (no need to type /4 looking for group, you are already in the channel when you type /4) sorry, this isn't the best explaination, i haven't played for a while

And it really was as simple as that!!!! I was just typing the wrong number!!!!!!!

Thank you so much

I know it's only a little thing but it's been driving me insane!!!

Thanks all

No problem at all

It took me ages to work out how to use the chat system, i think i was well over level 30 before i worked out how to chat in general!

Glad i could help
