Global chat (Wishlist)
Global chat // WishlistnikiOct 24, 2002, 3:41pm
Hi,
I've a problem. I activated the "hide chat" function in my world (which is red atm.) and I use a bot to relay messages as announcements, then I have a global chat and it works fine. Well, by hidding chat, my visitors don't see the other visitors names. I know there is a "always show names" function, but it's not what I'm seeking... to protect the privacity of my visitors (and from bots too), it would be great that "hide chat" when checked, show names ONLY of chatting visitors, like when "hide chat" is not cheked. I'm not the only one who got this problem... Thank you, Niki -- E-Mail: niki at niki.be Website: http://www.niki.be [ http://www.webmaster-du-net.net ] nikiOct 24, 2002, 3:45pm
Hi again,
Dunno if the best NG for this is beta or wishlist, but I consider that is a bug (or missing function) and a wish. Thanks, Niki > Hi, > > I've a problem.

Did you write the bot program, or do you have access to the source code? If so, simply modify the bot to display each person't name along with their chat text, rather than just the chat text.
