Yes, that will be set up soon. Hopefully today. Im trying to set up a interface that is more user-friendly than most chat rooms in regards to setting parameters.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Quick bug report from our german friend antonia.

She is complaining about the lack of special character support.

i.e. (ö ä ü ß) They all display as a square box.

PS. Talula, I did some checking and it is the Web Interface that has the problem.

Talula, you the man!

Looks like antonia is going to have to worship you for all the changes you have made per her suggestion, and fixing the issue with the special characters.

Just let me get a photo of it when it happens; love to see antonia on her knees for a change worshiping someone. :tongueout

Talula,

Be sure to take care of all your special characters. We are all counting on you.

I tried it out yesterday.

It looks pretty, and it seems to work ok.

I really miss the ability to have private chat windows.

Also profiles are a nice feature, and if they can be added it would be good.

Even nicer would be a private IRC server with a java interface. This means that people used to IRC clients (e.g. mIRC) can be in a familiar environment, and others can use the supplied client.

I know IRC has a bad rep, but that's largely because of the badly overloaded general access networks and their netsplits / lag problems. With a single largely unloaded server these problems mostly don't exist.

Purely as a demo (And because I'm so far from the net backbone, that's all I could do) I've set up a sample of the technology on my server. Java client and instructions for accessing via vIRC / mIRC at (deleted url)

The java client I'm using isn't the greatest, but it seems to do everything necessary. Eteria ( http://eirc.sourceforge.net/ ) has a very nice look & feel, but I haven't experimented with it.

Behind the scenes I have the bahamut (dalnet) server & epona services ... both open source, and both compiled straight out of the box.

Cheers

That's a GREAT .gip file.

I couldn't help but notice your pictures that you posted.

You physically resemble a nurse that I know.

I do not see any scars and I suppose that you are over your injuries now.

You know, there used to be a situation comedy here in the U.S. of A on the television called "Green Acres". In it there was a farmer who was a neighbor of the main characters that had a cute little pet pink pig that they called "Arnold"

Does your pig have a name? From what I have heard pigs are pretty smart.

There seems to be quite a bit of confusion regarding the use of private messages on the new chat room. Yes it is a different format but I really think that in some ways it is superior to the current way of private chatting.

Currently you click on a user's name, a window pops up, and you chat. In the new system you create a new chat room and invite as many users as you want inside.

For example:

I see [0]Bboy and [1]Paolo on the chat room and I want to private chat both of them. I decide I want to create a private room called "mergatroid".

First I type in ".c mergatroid". - This creates the room and moves me there

Next I type ".p0 Come to room mergatroid", - this sends a message to Bboy to move. He types in ".c mergatroid" and is moved there. I do the same for Paolo except I type in ".p1"

When everyone is there I type ".l" and close the room so no one else can join.

The nice thing about this is you arn't limited to a private chat with just one other person, plus if you created the room and someone gets unruly you can kick them out.

Hope this helps,

talula

Well, I hope this new room cuts down on all those unwanted private chats. OK, maybe it is just me, but I prefer the open chat room rather then the closed, private chat. I did stop by just now for the new chat room, and had a short chat with Tiny and a few others. Nice, but there was quite a delay between hitting the "enter" key after typing something, and seeing the message on the chat room screen.

Also, can you program in some sort of protection so that the name of "Andrew" can be used only by me, and not some imposter trying to stir things up? Thank you.

Also, do we really need five chat rooms? I think the scheduled chat room is redundent, I've never seen any trafic in penectomy or master/slave rooms, and wonder if it would be simpler to have just two rooms, a general public chat room and a room for those who want private chats.

More feedback from this curmuddgeon as I continue to test out the new room.

Oh, when do you plan to shut down the old chat room?

Talula,

The private chat procedure sounds just complicated enough to properly limit the use of private chats. However, there has not been enough people to try it when I have been in the room. I too prefer open chats.

I have also noticed the time delay between posting a message and seeing it. Sometimes think that I have been disconnected.

I agree with Andrew's suggestion of limiting the chat forum to two rooms as more people will lead to better conversations.

You are doing a great job with the new room. Keep up the good work.
