Greetings,
MSN EMOTICONS.
In the tradition of "Microsoft thinks they rule the world so they do
everything differently to everyone else" they have these unusual emoticons
in MSN that are based on letters inside brackets (t) and (h) and so on...
Can we get fire to support all those for MSN too please? At least so that
when someone enters one in the window then I want to be able to see what
it's supposed to mean. Cos when someone types (t) or any of the others at
me, I really have no idea what it means.
MSN GROUP CHATS
Also, I have occasionally wound up (and I don't know how this happens)
getting myself involved in a group chat with some of my mates on MSN. But
instead of them all showing up in one window, I get multiple windows - one
for each of the people in the group/room. Things that they type to
eachother show up in the window of the person typing, and anything I type in
any of them, only shows up for the person who's window I type it into.
Also, there seems to be no way I can leave the room. If I close all the
windows, they reappear as soon as anyone types anything into any of them,
even if they're not talking to me. So they're all yapping away to eachother
and I'm caught with windows popping up all over my screen and can't seem to
get out of it.
The way I believe it should be is that everyone who is in the group chat and
anything they type, should all show up in the one window, and anything I
type in that window should be visible to all. This is how we're all
familiar with it working in AIM and whatever else. Having never used the
actual MSN client, I don't know how it works there, but I expect it would be
something like this also.
I haven't yet used Fire's Group Chat feature, but I assume it works like AIM
does... but in any case, it only seems to be available for AIM and Yahoo.
Can we make it work for MSN also?
Thanks for listening, and thanks for a great program!
Cheers,
David.
