OmnomIRC suggestions

Yeah, apparently Windows can crash. I only get about one program crash per hour on XP, though.

I noticed Netham45 was not active much lately, though. I guess this will take a while to get fixed.

Nice, that's better than my calculator.

And a less important request: Making the links plain (no underline) in the chat box. The links stand out a little too much, IMO.

[DJ Omnimaga]

Oh, we tried that, but they did not stand out enough . I kinda prefer them as link. Otherwise newer users will not even notice they are even links at all, especially with the color in IRC text.

[Deep Toaster]

Oh, that makes sense, then.

EDIT: And just wondering: What's that (O) in SpyBot45's posts?

[DJ Omnimaga]

It's to make it easier to distinguish post notices from the rest. It was gonna show (C) for Cemetech, but then we removed notices for all other sites.

[Deep Toaster]

*bump* my suggestion for a Refresh button.

[DJ Omnimaga]

Doesn't it already refresh?

[Deep Toaster]

Doesn't it already refresh?

Yeah, but sometimes, when activity's really high, I miss a lot of posts because it updates every 8 seconds.

And speaking of that, shouldn't the refresh rate be raised a bit? We're not on 1and1 anymore

[DJ Omnimaga]

Oh I see.

Well... Tribal just went in the code and managed to change it to every 2 seconds.

Great! And another suggestion: Removing SpyBot's <name> tag. It's not really needed, especially with the (O) that's there.

[DJ Omnimaga]

Oh it normally is removed, but only when its nickname is SpyBot45 or OmnomBot. Netham45 should add SpyBot46 to the list, too.

Another suggestion for Jarvis: making the command !quotes (with the extra 's') post the omniurl link to the funny quotes list. That way people can find it easily.

A bug that has been annoying me for months now,

xmlhttp is not defined
   if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4)
OmnomIRC.html (line 55)

You should probably add a test to make sure xmlhttp is defined before you do that check.

That would be a good idea and possibly reduce quote spam.

What is that? What does happen with this bug?

[Eeems]

It's just a variable that is being tested for is undefined. Nothing adverse happens other then my console filling up with >9000 errors from it
