im sure once the scope bug is fully fixed he can get back to work on the chat.. but remember its only a one man operation atm....

and its still early day yet... the best thing we can do is help find the bugs and get them out :) then move on to the next thing

not that im gonna doubt what your program says but why are these people dummies O.o?

Changelog:

i still cant add people to the buddy list...

and cool im in the about thing ^___^ yay

:edit:

[bug]

resizing the program below its desired size causes the window to... well spasm(pretty accurate word)

you may wanna fix a minumum window size

[bug]

minimise to try still exists when minimised to tray

[bug]

i think were back to not loggin off again -note ricksta.... if there isnt actually two of them (ill log off and check)

Simply because its easier to debug exactly what is loading in each contact list. I know whatever happens i should get 5 debug names even if noone is online
i still cant add people to the buddy list...

You mean the friends part of the buddy list? This will come i promise you. The idea is everyone who logs in to Neowin Messenger will load in the main list, and the people that you add will load in the friends list. This will mean you wont have to trawl though tons of names to find your buddies

and cool im in the about thing ^___^ yay

These all are bugs caused by difference in resoloution that i really need to fix. What res are you running at? 1024x768 im guesing

I just saw that too... im looking into it

What dose (dummy) at the end of users names mean? its it due to the scope bug?

They are simply buddies that are hard coded into the server to help me debug

How come you dont even have to enter the password? ( This is a good thing though :) )

My guess is that it works based on the http protocol and with the ie cookies or something around those lines.

Does this program sends data somewhere besides Neowin ? Sorry for my ignorance but I just saw this and really dont feel like reading this whole topic hehe.

At the moment you can log in with whatever name you like (try it). The login here has no relation (yet) to your neowin login name

This will be sorted after the other problems

Just to let you guys know, yesterday I completly rewrote the network protocol, so log in's and log off's should work flawlessly. I will be releasing this tommorow when i'm fresh

I've been at work all day today. Thanks for the patience

Well you're doing a good job, I can't wait until you get everything working properly.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
