Yep its comeing along great, been chatting with Dayle on and off, hes not had much time for all the codeing hes been doing (im not too sure when hes got any sleep in :sleep: ) He finally fell asleep an hour ago, or his net cut off eheh.

Just hope he will be able to get round this SSL bug otherwise it will be a major setback to the program.

Keep the support up guys this is great.

Cant promise anything, but when a good working version of this is out i might take al ook at AIM protocol.... MAYBE dont get hopes up this was intended to be for MSN

I hope you do. Then this program will be great!!!!! :woot: :yes:

AIM support would be awesome, as all my friends insist for some reason to use it.

The new interface is beautiful, I really like the tabs, and some options to go along with that would be great (such as moving around groups, statuses, and whatnot).

Anyways, if any help is needed I'd be glad to help. Not good at coding really but I can do any graphics/web work if you want to set up any of that.

Good luck!

Thanks for comments :)

Right, this is what I plan to do.

The tiles style conversation list, at the moment is messing up so much im not able to update a lot of the program, im sure it can be fixed... but right now its taking up all my time, so FOR NOW i will be removing the fancy list and replacing it with a normal list like MSN has always had.. it will look ugly, but like i said its a temporary measure.

The login box has been created and added which is another feature needed for a test to be released, it doesnt have profile storage yet like we planned, but again that will be added later. I'm gonna fix the IM windows up to a state in which im comfortable with for the moment, and add some basic list function, like add user remove user.

When this is done i will release an Alpha build, please do not get excited.. this build will not be very pretty, it will be a resource hog, some features wont be included yet etc etc, probably wont be able to be used as your main client, however it is going to be simply a demo that the messenger is real, and not just photoshoped mockups.

You may be wondering ''if its so crap surely its not a good idea to release it yet'' well i have my reasons as follows.

A Messenger app is a fairy large program, i have written some bits of code that i wish id have done another way now, and changing them would mean changing a lot of things. I also want to change the type of sockets im using, currently im using a Winsock-type DLL for .NET... which seemed a good idea at the time but now i wish i hadnt, i want to recode it using .NET System.net.sockets. ( dont worry if your lost this is where i explain what this all actually means)

Therefore while your playing with that alpha build, im going to open a fresh copy of VB... and write the whole client from the ground up, making all the changes that i mentioned above as i go along... this will not mean that it will take ages as a some of the code from existing copy can still be used.

The alpha build will be Version 0.6, I cannot yet give you a date on when this will arive, although if you would like to mirror the content, please send an email with your details to ([email protected]).

Well thats my posh developer statement out of the way... ill get back to doing what im doing, while you guys think of some names and logos.

To clear up some confusion , the final version will not be named GMessenger, or Nexus, builds are currently called Codename Nexus as a reference, think longhorn.

Thank You.

Dayle Rees.

vb sucks no offence it the crappest lang in the world its toooooo limited if you want a basic lang try gambas.sf.net version 2 is going to have full GTK support so you could make this a multi platform im...

and if you need hosting goto vhcshosting.com register and pm "Hosting Geek" and tell me what you need I'll give you what you want.

edit: no svn allowed as i am already running a cvs server

thanks, loving your sig and AV devin, the AV reminds me of the mac flat screens lol

:huh: Speaking of sigs I really like your signature bt should it be "Coded by Dayle Rees" since GHL made the design it sounds like your taking all the credit :)

Also please keep the name Gmessenger, Google hasn't released news about having a "Gmessenger" so if you come with it first it's not your problem it's Google's problem. :whistle:

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
