 |  | IM Watch NEW FEATURE! (was ActiveX)
< on 4/30/2004 5:41 PM >
|  | | | My current settings prohibit running ActiveX, because it's unnecessary and, in my eyes, an useless and insecure clutter.
What, exactly, am I suddenly missing today that requires this abomination? Av? Anyone?

| | | | Beats me. I'm afraid of ActiveX as well; it is historically pure evil and all matters of spookiness.
edit: A quick load of the forum in IE reveals that it is an instant message watch thingy that tells you when you have a new PM from someone live, instead of waiting for you to load a new page.

| | | | Wow.... what an astonishingly useful feature.
I wonder if this bit of ridiculousness appears on all the skins of the forum, or just UER? Might be time to switch, if one doesn't have it.

| | | | Wow you guys beat me to writing the thread 
The forum will make a ringing noise and a voice will say "you have a new UER message" when a new message arrives (within 5 seconds).
There will be a switch to turn this off in the profile.
This feature is still under development, but for now it seems to be working!
It's currently only available on the UER interface, and it requires Flash 6 or higher, since it maintains an active TCP connection with the server.
It will work fine under Mozilla, which isn't activeX.

| | | | You know what? I'm sick of this fucking shit.
I'm fucking sick of taking 5 hours to program an awesome new feature that everyone can benefit from and enjoy, a feature that's virtually unheard of in real websites and would cost an arm and a leg if you wanted it on your site, and having people come along right away and bitch bitch bitch because of it.
Oh, you poor fucking crybaby, you don't like ActiveX? FUCK OFF. Get with the real world. Maybe you shouldn't be using Internet Explorer. Stop coming in here and whining your ass off that my site uses a standard web feature and that it's a problem just cause YOUR PANSY ASS CAN'T TAKE IT.
Anyway, to everyone else, enjoy the new feature. To those who don't like it: There'll be an option to turn it off soon. If that's no good for you, fuck off.
edit: sorry for the nature of this post, but i really hate people raining on my parade.

I can assure you, kn0wledge (the name is an oxymoron), that you have more enemies than I do.
If people didn't like how I ran this site, they wouldn't still be here, would they? Hell, you're still here even after saying you'd leave three times.

I also never said I would leave. I said I would delete my entries from the database, and post no further ones. Which I have done.

Instead, you just stick around and complain. Maybe everyone should take a page from Thumper's book... if you don't have anything to say, don't say anything at all.
Of course, then we wouldn't hear from half the regular members of this board ever again.

| | | | This just goes to show you that you can't make everyone happy all the time. (Don't look at me, I'm happy.) 
This feature was requested in another thread: http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthread.asp?fid=1&threadid=8179 As soon as it is installed, half of the forum comes to forum issues to complain about it. Why not complain before a feature is implemented? Same shit, different day. This happens everytime something is changed around here. And it will be optional, so why complain?

I see nothing wrong with this feature... I personally won't use it, but that's only because I don't have sound on my computer (well I do but I never use it-except for games), but I still think it's a good feature.
Why is marijuana not legal? Why is marijuana not legal? Its a natural plant that grows in the dirt. You know what's not natural, 80 year old dudes with hardons. Thats not natural, but we got pills for that. We're dedicating all our resources to keeping the old guys erect but we're puttin people in jail for smoking something that grows in the dirt. |

| | | | Well, I almost never have the sound on the computer on as well (unless it is being used to view porn  ), but if I am waiting for someone to PM me back, I won't have to keep refreshing the page. That is the part I appreciate. Thanks Av.
