ComputerHope System Tray Program

We already have a live support chat, and people can only talk to operators, meaning it's always one on one chat(not for the operator, they may be talking to any number of people) but it's not open to abuse, the admin chooses the operators.
We used to have an IRC channel instead, but it was closed down because it kept cashing out, as I recall there were too many users across the network so people couldn't join.

The IRC channel still exists, its just no one uses it anymore ( irc.blitzed.org , #computerhope )

Really?
I looked and couldn't find it.
Maybe just me.

Perhaps members of the community could put parts of it together?
Or even building an online web application... a lobby type chat is a fairly simple operation

Talk to JohnK about it, he has pjIRC on his site, a web based IRC chat client.
That's what I'll be using when I have time to set it up.

Oops, I'm wrong

The IRC.BLITZED channel is gone...

perhaps a linux and mac version

[Moderator]

Not so sure about a Mac version
(Hardly anyone here uses them, and they are way to hard to program for)

Linux is more common on this forum (second next to Windows) and would be much easier.

ill be a beta tester. I love to test things.
whos doing it?

Recent updates (well, the most recent we have) say that (And this is a few pages back) this is still only an idea, and its going to take a very VERY long time before you can expect anything.

I have some ideas about what to put on it. But I'd like to know if the project is gonna go forward before taking the time to post them. Oh, and I think it would be a cool idea!

ill like to see the app come true

The only GUI programming I know is the simplest of VisualBasics,
We could just create an application that uses the API of Internet Explorer, that just access a page (or a mini-site created for the program, contained in its own directory) with a few Perl scripts.

No idea how to make it go into the system tray though...

I will know how to program when I finish school.... in about 3 years!

i know how to make a nofity icon (ivon in system tray for the app) appear.

I'd love to have a Computer Hope system tray button that reads PANIC.

how about it shows you when you have a new reply to one of your posts, like a little message box pops up or sumthing... and in the box a link to that topic and a link to the new replies page. also maybe a messenger to interact with other CH users.

heh Broni, Patio you guys better be ready cuz a lot of people will be lookin for you!


hey also guys i've seen in other chat rooms people spamming and scripting bots to spam chat rooms, so we should keep that in mind as well
