Title: find a trainer
Post by: easymo on April 05, 2000, 02:55:00 PM

 guys are asking for trainers from time to time. If there were an * or something next to trainers names on the roster page of the clipboard. we could direct them to look for one there.

I wouldn't mind having an asterik next  to the name on clipboard, but I definately do not want ==XXX== or any such silly thing making my name different from the rest. I always viewed that as an ego adjuster.

Work-around: One can also do an ALT-TAB, which brings  him to the desk top while AH is still running, and look up the names/emails of Trainers on the HTC webpage under help.  Then ALT-TAB back into the game, and check the roster for the trainer names.

Problem is will someone that desperately needs a trainer know where to look?

If possible to implement it might be nice to have some sort of page button on the clipboard that sends a message to online trainers that soandso is looking for a trainer, maybe some sort of time factor on repeated presses to keep them from driving you guys nuts.

I'll always respond to a message in the buffer when i'm in the MA. I think all the other trainers do also.

Easymo, I agree and I asked for this to be done.  Don't know why it hasn't been set up.

I respond to buffer messages when I can.  But often I'm too busy to read the buffer.

I'd like to see the "page trainer" command a la Brand W.

Gee whizz Ripsnort... Just look at the roster, (as has been pointed out elswhere) and see the "Training Squadron" tag on the names.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Tern, that don't work in the main, which is where a lot of guys need help.

How about a radio tuned to "help", or "?" that broadcasts to trainers?
