Wow, Cat and FreezeWarp, I'm pretty impressed here! And even support for private chats! You two are doing great here!
Oh and Cat please download the rest of those parts so I can get you with a functional OS X install because as nice as this is for Windows users it'd be even better for us OS X users |

Here is a first iteration of the room viewing. It does away completely with the browser frame and uses a "data grid," which allows much better manipulation with the posts.
(Oh, and I didn't misspell "/b/uizel." As it gets the rooms from the database, that was Freeze. ) Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; December 18, 2010 at 10:18:43 PM. |

I guess the multi-windowness could come in handy, but if it's not much hassle a single-window option that would be much appreciated! I'm the kind of guy who likes to keep his start bar clean. :I
And Cat, thanks for a ll the work you're putting in to this. Last edited by Ningamer; December 22, 2010 at 12:16:33 PM. |

Got a new screenshot!
It now loads your avatar from the forum (including support for animated avatars). The box on the right is where the online users are placed, which is not yet implemented. If I get it working right, that will also show avatars. In the room viewer (not shown), dates appear for any posts loaded that are from the day before or earlier. It also keeps the local formatting of dates, so members in the US will see today as 1/16/2011, UK members will see 16/1/2011, and members in Japan will see 2011/1/16. AM/PM appears on the time if your region uses that; otherwise, you'll see the 24-hour time. isbragg, have you tried re-downloading it or different versions?

Double post but this one is big!
That's the second most-requested feature. If a new post comes in and the window isn't active, it flashes the taskbar. It works with multiple rooms, so if you're in one room and a new post comes in another room, that window flashes instead. It also only applies to windows you have open, so you can easily ignore /b/uizel. Also added is favorite rooms. The program will likely have the ability to save your session when closing it, where it will re-open the same rooms you had open from last time the next time you use it. In addition, private messaging (most-requested feature) is in the works. Unlike rooms, private messages will likely pop up even if you aren't in a talk with someone. Ignoring and favorite contacts, as well as an "away" mode, will likely be added. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; January 17, 2011 at 07:09:31 PM. |

I was able to keep 28 rooms open without it crashing. I think that is a very good sign.
New stuff (many thanks, Freeze): - Private rooms: private to everyone except the admins, and they receive a warning before entering. - Private IMs: completely private. - Retains styles and formatting from browser applet. Features (excluding bug-fixes, given stuff, and boring things) coming soon: - Automatic saving of messages to your hard drive. - Ability to export selected mesages in a forum-ready table. Example:

Due to some odd planning, the first public version will likely be 11.0. That way, I can reserve a whole number (10.x) for private, unstable alpha/beta releases.
Hm, guess that means it's about to time to start documenting features in the first post. (Freeze, I'd like to ask you to do so, as well, if you don't mind.) |

New screenshot time, but not much of an improvement in the image (lots of backend stuff).
You can easily see the five room categories and a multitude of rooms in each. The last category (Private IM) allows you to see everyone you have had contact with, which will likely be condensed to only show the username and may be sorted alphabetically. The blue box on the right will be for seeing all users who are online. |

I did implement auto-updates in a previous program of mine (well, it would tell you when an update is available and then download the new version's installer). Not sure how easy it would be with this. I could suggest that when it sends that version number at login, the server checks if it's the newest version and returns that with the login data.

I know, I just had the idea in my mind last night and wanted to get it down before forgetting it.
The above egg didn't really add anything to the compiled size. If anything, it'd probably add 4 KB when I play with it more later on. Current size of the program is 114 KB with debug mode disabled. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; February 5, 2011 at 10:10:40 AM. |

Can we rename the page to which the chat connects to to something other that the word "chat"? My school has access-denied on the program if it is connecting to the word chat, so... vrim.victoryroad.net would be great, as an example.

Yeah. If it was web browsing, I could bypass that- no problem! But VRC doesn't have what Firefox has, so... waiting until VRIM magically falls into my hands.

Ideas freez encrypt chat and decrypt in javascript should bypass those kinda filters. Also would add some basic privacy.(From script kiddies) session+username would be a decent key.

A demo of basic (and already implemented) forum table export:

I'm going to start a poll if you don't fix it so the default is oldest at the top. No offense meant, but I can nearly guarantee a monopoly of people want it that way due to the old chat and nearly every other chat I've been to as well as instant messengers having the oldest posts first.

The first Beta was released Saturday, and the second last night. Among the changes in the more recent:
- Support for IE9 Pinned Sites - Default to Reverse Post Mode - Room Stats Page - New Menu Layout - Drastically Improved Mobile Speeds (Removed a lot of crud) - The ability to disable YouTube videos for the user. - Slight usability improvements to a variety of pages, mainly Edit Page, Manage Kicked Users, and so-on. - A large variety of bug fixes ranging from minor to critical. Work will start on the third Beta today, which will first include "/topic" to change the topic (as much as I hate IRC), Bold/Italics defaults, and improvements to manual bold/italics/underline/strikethrough. |

When you log onto VRIM through a different machine it doesn't retain your settings (i.e. skins, fonts, etc.) Since it saves by IP this sort of ruins the point for some people who log on through school/mobile devices so I thought I'd ask if it would just be set to username instead of IP.

Also, like Lite said last night, all staff should be given chat moderation powers(or at least all Admins...I still don't get why you haven't given me or Yoshi powers yet...), not just chat mods. Oh, and might as well say it here, Cat make that VRIM mod group seperate from Content Staff already. :V Last edited by OMGITSJAD; February 23, 2011 at 12:14:33 PM. |
