Alias function

[Tous]

I am trying once again to get into the "RP scene" and thought a few alias might be handy.
Used to I could type /alias ;s "/stop" then just type ;s and I would emote STOP or I could type /alias ;sulf I smell sulfer, better hold up a minute while I search. Then I could type /alias ;ss ;s ;sulf.
So when i typed ;ss in general chat the party would see me emote STOP and say I smell sulfer, better hold up a minute while I search.

All I can get now is /XXXXX in the general chat (XXXXX=any emote)
That function of alias seems to have vanished.
Is it possible to get that back, seems like a wonderful rp tool?

Back in module 4, the outgoing text channel for general chat was changed from "Say" to "General", if you right click on the general chat tab and select "Outgoing Text"->"Say", your aliases should now work as they did before.

Thank you, that did it.

Heh, thank you, you just helped me out too. I had just assumed that they had modified it so they wouldn't work like that anymore.
