Message: <blockquote data-quote="Qijdi_Goldwing" data-source="post: 2561086">Ok......   Now that chatmace ( intentional sp ) has been inspected, I have comments after the shock - heh - is over....  Much of what I said still stands but was also inspired by said earlier emotion..  So please excuse my almost outrageous and direct reaction, but Thanks to Sun we indeed do not have Java support directly.  However, the platform is still supported if an original copy of msjava86 is installed in XP...  I found a copy on a Euro site...  So there is little excuse as long as the files are hosted.  Microsoft is continuing to update installations of this manner and older for now.  I know it's a hassle to have to install more than one, but for everyone's info - MS java can still be found for now and still a vital portion of windows funtionally.. Longhorn is supposed to phase it out completely by 2007 so Sun will no longer be able to gripe about their pittiful products not being able to complete when they now have absolute dominance of the chat market execpt for mIRC.  Back on track - the Who's Online in a separate popup or within the main frame somewhere and PM windows are most essential for chat fluidity as is a resizable main frame...  Squinting is most disgusting and bad for the eyes.  Those of us with small monitors like 15" and below have a hard time already.  Interface colours are better than SigmaChat and the userlist is less difficult to view and also less distracting in the blue... One thing that must be there is the description editor and viewer...  A long standing and depended upon tool.  Also... the ability to interface with Cheeta or some other standalone is also recommended.  One of the most cherished of features has been the ability to gather scripts of our most enjoyable moments and of important scenes for reference during long storylines... i.e.  Anyone who actually manages to play with Qijdi has to get through many doors and have a long memory to say the least.  Some plays can take months and records are invaluable.  So... anything else missing?......  Oh yes... What about predefined emotes like the old GUI?...  They are not very critical to me personally, but I see people use them frequently.  Tabbed favorite rooms or just tabbing the rooms on that particular branch would be nice but possibly confusing to some.  It might solve the different exits problem though - or a small sidebar perhaps...  I have had my username for 9 years 3 months and 21 days...  I would most definitely appreciate and require retention of this name.  The current method of registering names is most acceptable and should be continued.Qij.</blockquote>
