Hey it wasn't me who started the popups in front of the window thing!

But apart from the boing as mentioned before, i would personally find a window flashing each time someone posts to be a distraction and, as was mentioned before, would kinda defeat the point of PM's in the first place..

?? please explain?

With the option to have the windows flashing everyone's happy. Theres no disagreeing with that!
It's like offering chocolate sprinkes on your ice-cream, take it or leave it, your choice, no problems!

As for your reference to the pub, I take offence to that in such a context.

Yes it is funny how it's all people in direct contact with you who this happens to spinner!

I'm not entering into another debait about this as it will just annoy me and waste my time.

pop-up's pop UP discussion over! move on!



LOL been at the pub after the fishing today Magic?

Obviously its gonna be people i know, how else can i see thier screens?

i really shouldn't get sucked in to this but i always love this question : why would Nick, who clearly knows his way round Java, ever write something that would make a window pop up in front of the game?

Hehe..

I do accept it may happen to a few, maybe its another firefox bug?

but yeah, due to my lack of hearing the "boing" wont mean anything to me but i can see the benefits of that..




I don't use firefox! And i get the pop ups!!!

Of course i did 1_eye - after all i'm not he one with things popping up in front of my eyes

(sorry Magic - but didnt want 1_eye losing sleep over it..)

Ok, as i said before, the sounds thing is a good idea, but to elabourate on what i meant about the PM's..

The main reason for PM's is to communicate with people who are not in your game, therefore you obviously dont want them to be distracting, and you can simply wait and look at them when it suits you, as opposed to chatting in the game window which is distracting..

My role is not to know everyones personal jokes etc, it's to moderate. I like to do so in a fair way. I want to keep this thread in line and on topic. Joke about pill's in general chat.

I presume the dot's mean your going to continue that point? so far I'm left wondering!

Mearly your opinion! I don't find it distracting when on msn and playing FP! And if i did, i'd have the option not to use it! Simple!
