Message: <blockquote data-quote="WotC_Mel" data-source="post: 2560949" data-attributes="member: 21569">I know that you can change the colors for the way you see themn in iChat. I use this fucntion myself. I was referring to sending to the screen color text so that others can see it. It is, technically, considered room disruption and WizOs can warn for it. Since ichat does not have any easy or intuitive way to send colors to the screen (for others to see) this is not really a spam problem for newbies walking around and punching up obnoxious color combinations.What I didn't know is if CheetaChat allowed to send colors to non-CheetaChat clients.No, we can't. I have asked. That is what I mean by ichat being a "black box" where data goes in but can not be retrieved. Not in a comma or tab delimited file, not as any other kind of raw data.I completely understand you having old names that you want to keep for yourself. That is in part why I have been asking WizOs to urge current chat users to secure names via the message boards so that they have those names when the switch takes place. I asked WizOS to please bring to my attention any longstanding chat name user who couldnt not register a name that they "own" on the boards so that I could attempt to sort it out. This has already happened with one user and, as it turns out, the boards name was abandoned and it was easy to reassing to the chat user. That offer still stands and I will be glad to investigate any screen name collisions. I can't promise that every collison will resolve satisfactorily, but I will do my best to make sure impersonation scenarios are avoided.</blockquote>
