I do appriciate users publishing hacks, and I even like this one.
I was not even 'attacking' andrew, but mearly asking him why he didn't put it in beta if it isn't finished, and even his first. His reply was uncalled for and his behaviour is childish.

My intention is not to spoil anybody's fun and/or to jump on people who made their first hack. And it is not a life/death situation when someone makes an error. That is why you can reply to threads.

Ok, Sorry I didnt even notice the beta hack forum until now... I now understand this, and I apoligise for my tanty, its been a long weekend and after a few of the PM's I recieved and stuff I just let fly, I apoligise. I guess there is no point moving this to beta hacks now as it seems to be all ok now.. I will release my next hack in beta hacks forum.

Thank you for your apology and I am happy to hear you are not removing the hack. Just because you had a little argument with one of the 10k members of this forum.

I also see no need to remove it, since the flaws have been fixed by you already during the last day.

I normally do not even reply to PM's of most users. If the PM is about the hack, they can post it in the thread. *doh* :)

edit: hmm, you can ignore this post, sorry...


Y'know, if this is all not such a big deal ("a mistake") why are you overreacting so much?

The thing is, you reacted wildly to Xiphoid when he was being perfectly polite to you. So don't go talking to people as if you know all about gratitude and all that jazz.

There's plenty of people who really appreciate you making this hack for them, but as with everything in life, there will always be some people commenting on you/your work. That's why the beta forum exists, in this case.

I realise this and I apoligise to everyone involved.

]anyway great hack! ;)

is there a way to make this hack work like an instant messenger with a link next to users online. Pop up messaging would be a nice feature without having to use the PM style reply option. A simple .. hey you there.. type message is a pain in the PM feature.

A lot of people have asked if there is a way to use this with IRC servers other than the one included. Well there is...

Just get another IRC compatible Java client. I pasted the code from another client into the template I created, left everything else the same and it works perfectly!

This is the one I'm using.

Thanks for the hack which got me going on this!

well... thanx for the tip... but I have checked and snirc doesn't have the same possibilities as eIRC does... and design sucks big time... :/

That was just one example, I don't see any reason you couldn't use any java based IRC client. We provide SNIRC on our board to try and force people who complain about the lack of features to use a "real" IRC client like mIRC.
