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.

This is a very good idea.
I think other will think the same.
-
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.
-
excellent idea.
-
That's Good ;)
-
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.

what should i say if people all the time call me "ramsey"?
or if i write to Grunhertz i write "Grun"
huh?
-
or WT? :)
-
or even JJ?
-
yer all screwed :D
-
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.

Once I started a thread about a similar request for AH(1). The main idea was to highlight words that you locally have in a small text file. Instead of only having your name highlighted, you could have many alias.
Example, my file would look like that:
Joyful
Joy
JF
Joyflu
jyoful
etc etc
That would be really no big deal since the file/support is local.

what about 9990777666?
I just usually type
"hey bunch of numbers change your stupid nic"
-
Good idea Swoop.
A additional idea might be to have text with your name in it break through the channel 1 squelch. That way those of us who squelch channel 1 due to the politics/shane, ect BS could still exchange post fight salutations.. If somebody were misusing this feature it would be easy enough to squelch them personally.

Why would you want your nic highlighted on a private channel? Private channels will be either yellow or white text anyway and there won't be a discussion about WMDs or politics or how big someone's dick is going on.

bfreek are you making a rather unfunny joke or are you just another of the multitude of sub-educated American McDonalds 2 star employee of the month wannabe's??
-
Funny, I was just ignoring bfreek as he obviously hasnt understood the idea anyway. Highlighting your handle has nothing to do with censorship.

This is a very good idea!
And would be extreemly simple to do as well.
PS. I am not dead! Just making my monthly visit to the forums seeing if theres any news on AHII :D

And I doubt your job does. Last time I heard, welfare doesn't pay that much a year.
Ack-Ack
-
yes, good idea.
-
Cos it's still a good idea.
