[QUOTE="Krystal, post: 2560995, member: 37301"] To further Jardel's comments about PMs... what about those instances (oi, I've been getting Krys into a bunch of them lately) where you need to keep multiple people apprised of things in pms? Ichat is great for this, you do /tell name1,name2,name3... so on and so forth and all get sent at once. Now, I have to copy/paste or retype everything each time for each tab... ugh. I'm aware there is the p2p, a half-baked fake of pms (but I don't believe they do multiples...), and something about memos.. See... here's the thing: there is such a thing as too much functionality. This new client has three different ways to essentially do pms. That's ridiculous. It's like they're sitting there and going "more bells and whistles, more bells and whistles!" Sorry, but we're not gnomes... we don't like things to be over-complicated to do simple tasks. And it's actually rather taxing on a user to have to sit there and think which of the three methods would be best for the moment.. (and also for them to have to remember how to use all three). I really wish I had time to find some usability guidelines and do a usability review. Unfortunately, by the time my life calms down to give me the time to do some research for guidelines, and verify they are indeed good guidelines, and then apply those guidelines to the site... everything will be gone. Good points have been made, though: If I want to irc chat, there are a half a dozen irc clients with more customizability, functionality, and just plain usability than this knock-off. And, once again... there's always yahoo... [/QUOTE]
