34 | <PRE>I put in this request before, and have recently been bombarded by users | |
35 | requesting thjis feature on my network... Many (if not most) other services | |
36 | that feature a Memo function also have a Mass memo function. | |
37 | ||
38 | I have worked around this with IRCServices by creating an mIRC bot that | |
39 | performs a | |
40 | /nickserv list * | |
41 | and then sends a memo to everyone inthe results. Problem is, it sends 2, 3, | |
42 | 4, (even 9 in one case) memos to the same person, because the /ns list * | |
43 | lists ALL the nicks, and doesn't seem to indicate duplicate, or linked | |
44 | nicks..... so my poor simple script sends copies to all listed nicks, | |
45 | resulting in dupes. | |
46 | ||
47 | Here's the question(s): | |
48 | ||
49 | Can we reconsider adding a Mass memo function for the next release? | |
50 | ||
51 | If not, or even if so... one thing puzzles me: In the /ns list * command, | |
52 | the listings have occasional punctuation... a ! or ? in front of the nick. | |
53 | There is nothing in the docs anywhere that seems to address this, and I'm | |
54 | curious as to what those mean.... an explanation would be helpful there too. | |
55 | ||
56 | Additionally, perhaps we can have some way to glag a nick name as | |
57 | "Linked" -- not necessarily the Primary name, but the linked nicks... liek | |
58 | another puntuation in the listing that indicates linked names, so I can | |
59 | script around it, havign it ignore the marked nicks.... | |
60 | ||
61 | Any ideas you all have to share would be of great help. | |
62 | ||
63 | And yes, I know at least one person out there is going to suggest Logonnews | |
64 | as an alternative, but frankly, this does not meet our needs. The news | |
65 | displays too fast, and has scrolled past before the user even hits the | |
66 | channels.. I want it as memo, so they can keep them, save them as | |
67 | reminders, whatever... new memos are more noticeable than a blanket news ... | |
68 | ||
69 | on that note, a possible suggestion for Logonnews... How about something I | |
70 | saw on Dalnet once: When new news is added, you get a notice. Until you | |
71 | read the news, it keeps bugging you when you log on. After you read it, it | |
72 | stops. Some sort of flag so users know when there IS new news would be | |
73 | useful... the main reason nobody read the logonnews is that 90% of the time | |
74 | for them, it is unchanged........ | |
75 | ||
76 | Anyhow, I appreciate your takign the time to read this long request... | |
77 | ||
78 | I await your replies =) | |
