that was never a feature, just happened to be the way the system worked, currently with the new chat you cant have more than one window at a time, but i think they are working on having multiple rooms in tabs open at the same time
Juicy,
This came up when a load of us were doing testing the other month. Apologies to SH/Admin if get this wrong, but we were advised that there was always a one room at a time limit when using the 'old' Chat rooms, however due to a bug in the then Chat software this 'limit' couldn't be enforced, so people could be in multiple rooms.
However with a ground up re-write of the Chat, away from Flash based, they've 'fixed' this bug and hence the one room at a time limitation.
From talking with the developers, the intention is that once the new chat is in and running, they have another whole raft of enhancements either already written or in progress to be put live in release 2. Whilst they've not actually said what these are, several hints have been made about them addressing some of the frustrations and things being on people's 'wish lists' based on the last couple of Member Surveys (which triggered the Chat re-write in the first place)
Hope this helps

The coding to prevent users from entering more than one chatroom at a time in the old system worked perfectly. However due to the instability of 'some' connections it was a frequent occurance for people to remain in rooms as ghosts. If the ghost remained in a temporary room, it wasn't too much of an issue. However if the user was left ghosted in one of the main 'landing rooms' on any server, it could actually prevent the user from re-entering chat until their ghost had been removed. By suspending the code blocking multiple room occupancy it was an aid to those users who suffered with less than stable connections.
