The fact of the matter is that alot of forums make this mistake. Live Chat is an amazing feature and very useful for members who want spur-of-the-moment questions to be answered.

The mistake here is that by clicking the Live Chat link, it does not spawn a new window and takes you off the forum and onto a Java client that has forum links everywhere.

If you want more members to use the Live Chat feature, you should make it spawn a new window and have little to no links to the forum in that spawned window, which ensures that members wont be tempted to close the Live Chat window and go back to the forum in 2 different windows.

Anyways, the forum is doing great in the large scheem of things. Possibly put my name in neon text on the top of the page with a link to a Paypal donation for myself. (To help me in my studies).. (cough).

Regards,

Deno

I think what Frank suggested would be a nice idea. I dont like to use mIRC because of the misuse of it, but in Java live chat, it always seems better, I would prefer that really, 100%.

What do you mean Misuse of it :huh: ?

The java IRC would proberbly bring more uses to Neowin IRC i guess, but it would have to be registered users only IMO, We'd get a few too many idiots if now :/

Ok, well maybe its just me. ;) I would prefer to use a Java Applet because I don't want to install mIRC, and the same with other users, and isn't a free 30 day trial. (Y) We'll see.

Theres always other Clients (XChat's supposed to be good), and you can continue using mIRC after 30 days, it doesn't actually do anything to stop you IIRC (This isn't illegal either i dont think :s)

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.

      Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
