hey, was just wondering in the drop down list, why the users are listed, even if they don't have messages on?. in my view, it's a strange idea, even if you messaged them, all you would get is your quicknote could not be sent because this person is blocking all quicknotes. to be honest, i think it should go back to the old style, and only list users you can actually comunicate with

Yeah Dan I've noticed that and the few people who I'm ignoring I can still see that they're logged in. I think it should go back to the old way too!

They're listed so that you can use them in commands such as /howlong or /asl.

You could indeed yes, however it is far more convenient just to be able to highlight the user name in the combo box. After all, you may not be sure of a certain spelling of a user name and then you'd have to go through all the extra hassle of finding the user in the list of logged in people, and either manually checking the spelling or copying and pasting the name. All round it would be far simpler to leave things as they are so that you can just select the name and go from their.

Stevie that's happened to me too, but I don't let it bother me! Ok Dan I guess you right I don't like it when things are complicated.

Now how difficult is it to see that someone has qn off, and so a little message is sent along to your brain, so that you can conciously make the decision not to message them, thus meaning you won't get back a message saying your qn can't be delivered. Just a simple idea to me.

I think you meant that as a put down! It says publics off and I've sent pqns to my bf tonight that way! If the person doesn't want to respond to me then so be it.

It's simple, Kev. They don't want to click a user profile, even though it pops up in another window anyway and doesn't take that long. If they want to be lazy fucks, then they shouldn't complain. Beggers can't be choosers. But they do anyway. Oh, and this message was not directed at any one person, so don't get all defensive.
