Who's Online

[Trekkie]

So...any eta on when you, the AI deities, might be installing it?

[Nebrie]

Does anyone else actually use that feature?

[Alpha Mac]

yep

[Logan Cale]

I don't like people to know when I'm lurking. ;)

This feature could actually be pretty cool. Would it require high system resources, though? And what about people who leave a window to AI open all day?

[Jonathan]

i'm unsure if it's possible.

ill look into it.

[Jonathan]

actually. it's there... just not on the main page... look at the "buddy list" feature in your profile.

[Logan Cale]

AFAIK that doesn't show if they're online, it only allows you to private message them faster.

It is easily possible. To see an example of Who's Online go here: <a href="http://www.clan-mac.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi" target="_blank">http://www.clan-mac.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi</a>

MacAgent - it does show if they're online.

It isn't possible = my nice way of saying it's not going to happen.. Too many frills = unnecessary. I'm a minimalist, guys... (and if somebody mentions the smilies, i'll ban 'em ;) )

[Trekkie]

Point taken. But would you be willing to let someone else do it for you?

[Jonathan]

Not really. Problem is, we like to keep the software current: every time we hack something, each time we upgrade, we gotta re-hack.

Pain in the ass.

I know the feeling. I have three hacks on my board alone. It really annoyed me when Infopop released 6.1, 6.1.0.1 and 6.1.0.2 so close to each other. Luckily I have BBedit so I could just do a simple document comparison and add the changes to the hacked files. Saves a great deal of time.

It's good that you're trying to keep the boards current, I just wish MacAddict would try to do the same. They still use bloody 5.47e.
