I wish connect now was more independent again

Remember when connect now would actually show you that it's trying to connect you? Like a green bar at the bottom. And then you know that part where you choose the topic? Remember when it didn't count that as a chat message from you? So that even if you get connected, you don't have a weird confusing string of messages already going? I bet listener training doesn't prepare them for that string of nonsense.
I wish for the good ol days when it was easier to get in a 1 on 1 chat.

I agree with you, I wish for that too.
I also hate how there is no reassurance anymore that you are being connected to a listener.
There is no longer a message on the green bar saying connecting you to a lister,please wait-or it was something like that.
Especially when the general request list is long ,I think that reassurance is very necessary.
Also as a listener I have noticed that alot of the time even though the member has requested a certain topic it doesnt always show up on the general request list. I really hope they fix this issue soon.
