a telnet chat server might be easier, just a thought because all computers that i know windows, apple, sun, amiga, acorn, BSD, UNIX, Linux all have telnet clients included and it wouldnt be too hard to write a telnet server and host it on adsl or something

MC

Telnet is not designed for acting or serving as a "chat server". That is what IRC is there for.

Would it be possible to include a bit in USER CP or somewhere which you can use to easily delete your username, it may already be there but if not then adding it could help with the database if someone decides to cvhange their username because instead of creating a new one and still having the old one the old one could be deleted and the new one created

MC

Definitely not. If this feature did exist it would make it dead easy for someone to "hi-jack" your account if they managed to login as you (e.g. if you forgot to log out of a public computer or someone knew your password). As they could then change your username to something else without you being aware of the change.

If you need to change your username then you should ask me to do it for you and likewise if you want your account to be deleted.

newbie here.

i saw a couple days back that this place had chat rooms...

Indeed they shall. Give it a week or two and they should be back. And hopefully people will use them this time!

Nope. They will be the same as before.

As there is an option for people running slow connections to disable avatars, couldn;t we put up the 10kb rule? Its almost impossible to get anything decent, and all my atempts at making cool gif's have fallen flat... Keep the size at 100x100 but couldnt the size be say 30k?

30k? No way. If you look around you will see plenty of people have perfectly decent avatars at all under 10k. Considering how precious bandwidth is there is simply no logic in me upping the avatar file size limit.

Neil, any chance of finding some good themes so we can switch? The way the tables take up most of the page here is a bit off putting, a nice simple theme would be cool....??

Keilan once I've got this particular theme sorted (there is still quite a lot of HTML glitches to be sorted) then I'll certainly go about getting some other cool styles installed.
