Post by: caldera on October 19, 2016, 04:59:04 PM

Without losing any other channels?

I don't recall that it is possible to disable the "all" channel....if you're referring to channel 1 - All Countries - channel

That is why HTC disabled it in AH/AH2 , except for sending salutes only....so if a player wanted to text/talk across country, they did it at their own choice, by tuning to ch200

Have you tried .squelch radio 1

or .squelch channel 1

Hope this helps

Right click on ALL tab on text area.

Select Edit Settings.

Deselect 1/100.

Voila...no more "all" channel.

You still should.  Salutes are system messages and should still appear if you filter out the All channel.  The only time you won't see a salute is if you filter out the system messages.

Tried squelching channel 1 and got the message that the channel was squelched, but results were inconclusive.  Need more people online.
Un-checking channel 1/200 also removes salutes.  That's the reason for this thread.

Will this be fixed?

I decided to turn off 1/200 to get rid of the white text nonsense chatter, but now I don't get pms or salutes.

Seems like an unnecessary change from 2 to 3.

I kind of assumed 1 still being available in the melee was an oversight, as I was given to understand it was disabled in  the backwhen for a reason.  Has it been re-enabled for a reason?

Whut?!? PM's belonging to the All/200 group? And salutes too? The latter I might be able to somewhat understand but not the former.

Unless it's been changed since AH2, <salutes> have been under system messages.
