Just a thought that im sure has gone through many peoples mind.

How about a Ding or an audible of some sort to notify you of PM's. Too many times have i not noticed a pm. So I was just thinking what if it had a Ding.

=D

good idea :)

I think this is also a good idea. Maybe it would be a good idea if you had options of what sounds to choose from in settings. Maybe make it a supporter option or something ;) Only if this is possible though, if not, then just a simple sound it good :)

SIr Leon made his mentee voted for this.

Therefore, i am here.

That'll waste too much work, how about we just make the text in PM,

REALLY BIG

?

All the --------------->, ->->->->->, Hey, you, PM me!, isn't good enough?

You wouldnt have to do that if you get a ding sound :P

so it could save room in chat

true true...good idea instead of spamming arrows :P

You know I disabled all sounds on MSN and ICQ for a reason, because they were ANNOYING AS HECK!

}--PM--->

NO

I play at work.

Well thats why it could be an option to either have it on or off

thats the point of an option so those who don't want it can turn it off :-P

touche.

Now, the question is, would this be a change to the chat interface. Jon has said he won't do any coding on that.

I bet some $$ might convince him otherwise :-P

So do I, but whose gonna pay for a ding?

sorry Leon but I think this post just got entered into the FORS archive :)

Personally, I hate all those irritating sounds. I disable all such sounds, and get really pissed off at a new program that scares me with one. One reason is that I'm always listening to music, and they destroy whatever song I happen to be listening to.

...anyway, since the chat is Java, I know that it should be very easy to have a sound play whenever some action occurs. So, I don't think it would take much time, but that doesn't mean I think the idea is worth the trouble!

Q: Can you add this new feature?

A: Probably not. But hey, the source is linked right above this. You can make your own client that does anything you want. Hey, if it really is a rockin' idea, I'll even port it back to mine. :)
