    What's the dealy with that? Using Netscape, I get a security warning - asks for permission to acces local files, registry. Um, hello? Is that necessary just for chat :mad:

    It is what it's.

    Hiya oneweb,

    No idea - we just bought the thing. I'll have a look tho.

    Is it necessary to use netscape ;)

    (Applets by design always have limited access to local resources. To grand extra access a lot of the normal in-built security mechanisms would needlessly have to be over-ridden)

    any chance of a cgi:irc variant? It might not be as c00l but its more functional and more like mirc.

    The only thing is you may wanna work out a system to void getting k-lined because of the trust issue & a maximum of 5 clones of a hostmask on the network.

    But The Java VM isn't set up correctly for it. As for IE, I use it pretty much never. (yuk)

    It is what it's.

    Indeed, Regi caught me using it one night. Mostly because I kept getting g-lined :). This is probably the reason why he doesn't like cgi:irc btw. Other than these annoying disconnections, I really like it, because it's like mirc.

    Yea, thats right,

    Quakenet doesn't allow cgi:irc , I tried it before but they said they had bad experience with it in the past and so they wouldn't be able to allow it as it doesn't give information on the users that are using it (or abusing it)

    even if you guarantee it would be on an internal network only, it's still too risky, which boards.ie wouldn't be doing

    so realistically if boards.ie set-up cgi:irc they could only give a max of 5 connections through it

    im sure you could put a limit to 5 users? so after 5, no more can connect to quakenet.

    Or maybe you could get a trust for it by passwording it and only supply it to those who request by email?
