ya know on channel 1 when it gets busy......
« on: July 08, 2003, 06:30:47 AM »
When the dweebs are talking politics or when Shane is being insulted/ing again......

Sometimes it's really bloody hard to pick out the line or two from the guy you just shot down, I miss it quite a lot.  I don't want to squelch ch 1 cos I'd miss all of it but when ch1 is busy it's just too easy to miss stuff.



How about, when anyone types your handle on ch1, your handle is highlighted in the text on your FE only?


Like for example, if someone typed "Swoop were you the F4U or the P51?" then in the grey mass of text that is ch1 the word Swoop would be highlighted in say...white, for me only.  So I'd immediately notice this line of text in amongst all the grey.

Very good catch Swoop....just like irc chat....
While were at it, how bout the option to select the color and maybe even include an option to either highlite just your handle or the entire line of text?


On second thought ferget the 'whole line' idea, not very practical when you consider multiple Channels.

I never tune channel 1 but you've always had the option to message someone direct with just their callsign.  I've done that on occasion.

"squelch 1 " is part of my pre-flight check list, so if any of you have called me on chan 1, thats why i didn't answer.

I vote to make Swoop the official censor of channel 1.

Oh yeah, Brits and cannucks only think they have free speech when ya really dont so i'm guessing ya wont be very good at censorship.  

I withdraw my nomination.

Now if only you could withdraw your head from your ass.

Really, was there a point here, or were you just going after foreigners?

Well if the first time he ignores you then try again typing his full handle which will be highlighted for him.  If he still ignores you then he probably just doesnt like you.
