[sldev] Group IMs

[Bane Darrow]

Is there a resource or information on how Group IMs are supposed to work?
When I send an IM to a group, not everyone gets it. Seems to be if you close
a group IM tab, you don't get IMs in the group anymore for a while. I think
this makes sense in general, but for a business group, if I need to get an
IM to all my staff, and they've closed the tab, they don't hear me now. I
could send a notice, but the point of IMing is to talk to the online people,
not the whole staff and leaving them emails.

Am I understanding how it works correctly? Is there a way to make my IMs go
through if you've closed the tab? What are the mechanics of when they are
blocked or not? Is it simply buggy? Should there be an intermediate form of
communication between permanent notices and group IMs? I think a lot of
people think closing a tab doesn't stop all new communication.
