Jamba + Real ID

[Maxion]

I have a RealID friend in the game (one of real life friends in town) And depending on the toon you are on WoW will forward it to the screen you have active.

So Jamba does not need to do this.

This probably only applies to multiboxing on one PC and only where the "non-active" windows are actually left in the background (zOrder - 1). For those of us who use multiple PCs or have software that sets all windows to the foreground (or makes them think they are) this will probably not work the same way.

Indeed, most of the time, if me or my realid friend logs in and out a lot, his messages will go to a seemingly random character each time.
And i'm software boxing with all 5-6 on one PC.

And even if I just click over to one of the other windows for a second, I still want my messages sent to my current main.
But currently, who the messages get sent to seems to have nothing to do with which window is currently being focused.
Maybe if you actually minimize the other windows to the taskbar would you get a similar behavior to what Oatboat describes, but with having all windows open and visible I see no such functionality.

This won't work if you log in / out a lot, but doesn't the REALID message get sent to the first toon that logged on? That seems to be the case for me, so I just log my main into the game a second before the others. It has worked for me so far, but like I said, as soon as you log in / out that no longer works.

Indeed, and if you have a realid friend that likes to log back and forth between alts all the time, even if you don't yourself, you may be pretty screwed likewise.
