Taming the Wild Blab (Chat Software Change Log)

+1 for highlight list

[antiaverage]

Highlights tentatively added to Account Settings. Try it out and let me know how it goes. You may need to refresh chat whenever you change your highlights.

also, /quit has been implemented, but don't tell rob

You could also use this as notification, e.g. if AP posts something in a specific topic.

AP can't highlight/notify you, otherwise you would get highlighted/notified every time you made a post.

* rob77dp reads the fine print!   (but not invisible print... so if there is any of that, I'm in the dark)

Just for kicks and giggles, can we have a "/jokequit"?

Just do /quit without adding a message.


Alright, basically done with the highlights feature. Just to recap, you can add a list of comma separated words (with or without spaces) for Highlights to your Account Settings. The words are case-sensitive, e.g. if you add Bob keep in mind that bob will not cause a highlight/notice. Remember that partial matches won't count, so dm will not match admin. NOTICE: You must refresh Chat in order for any changes to your highlights to work.

Additionally, the /quit feature is basically done. If you type /quit goodbye!, the message goodbye! will be sent to chat, and you will be logged out of chat and redirected to the Forums. You can type any message after /quit that you would like. If you type /quit without a message, then the old joke message will be sent to chat. If you try to use /quit while invisible, no message will be sent to chat.

Guests can now be highlighted/notified via just their creature name. This is case-sensitive.

Tab-complete now works for the creature name of a guest. This is case-insensitive.

Perhaps have a horizontal rule be auto-posted when nobody's spoken for minute or 30 secs or something like that?

Or perhaps have it dependent on the frequency of messages... I don't know how that'd work. Perhaps simpler is better

Formal request:

- Flag-setting for leagues

- ping-by-painting / highlight-by-painting

- *good reminder AD! --> my 3rd item was a real, non-crap, non-junky, less-janky, and usable chat history feature/function... the current one is hideous and anything beyond 2 hours is a disaster to find/retrieve.

Yay

- ping-by-painting / highlight-by-painting

How would this work? I paint "rob" and you get pinged? How would it recognise what I wrote/painted?

I set my profile to ping me for Paintings #1,10,38,310,1018 (randomly selected values here).  In blab chat somebody inserts painting #17 into chat nothing happens. In blab chat somebody inserts painting #10 into chat I am highlight / pinged (not sure which it could/should/users-would-like to be).

I honestly would prefer that History be improved. That's my biggest pet peeve right now.

Also, could Panels please have the same pallet design as the Color button on the bottom?
