While the setting for countoff can now be defaulted to "No Countoff", it gets re-activated when shutting off "Follow Me." The user should be allowed to change the default setting for this as well.
Furthermore, "Follow Me" should automatically be off if SM knows that a mic isn't attached. Without a mic, SM can't follow you anyway (but it will annoyingly wait for you to press any key to resume ), so why does it stay on?
Another note: I really miss the old SM interface (pre-2010). In many (but admittedly, not all) ways it was much more user friendly. For the sake of sleekness, the newer looks hide a lot of handy features, and finding them is not intuitive even for my college students who are tech-savvy. Those who were studying with me during that time of transition repeatedly stated that they liked the older interface much better in terms of usefulness. It's a shame that paid subscribers are not allowed freedom of choice. Even the mega-giant Microsoft allows compatibility with much earlier versions of Office!Post Edited (jamaroney) : 2/6/2016 1:54:24 PM (GMT-6) |
