i made other suggestions besides smileys i think u should read alil better, and mirc ALREADY checkes everything with on TEXT events. now what would need to be added to modify that extra work u think mirc is doing?? now i might agree with u that mirc windows displays may need a complete rewrite. but then again, how is it custom windows created in mirc are able to use images in them? i think ppl like u just like to comment about something without thinking them thru coherently. yes mirc is text based chat program, im not asking that i want to add smiles to my text, im asking for basically mirc to be able to support images in text not just smiles read the whole post next time. im also asking it be possible in the nicklist to be modifyable. why everytime someone suggests something that is completely in the scope of possibility do u ppl act so narrow minded as to think its not what u want, hell ive seen several things added i dont want and wont use but i have to live with that dont i?
