I'm working on chat rooms, maybe it'll make it into LimeWire 4.4 (whenever that may be released).

HUH huh huh huh huh indeed what r u going on about m8ty please tell me more

I can't tell you all the details yet. Basically anyone who is not firewalled can open up a chat room and others will be able to find that chat room through some kind of feature search (very much like the "What Is New" query).

The chat itself (as I envision it right now) is going to be a little like IRC, but I haven't even started with the graphical user interface.

I'm not sure how far I will pursue the idea, in theory, you could use the new UDP transfers to allow two firewalled users to communicate and to allow certain firewalled users to open chat rooms, - or you could have multiple nodes hosting a chat room for some super-large rooms with far more than 100 users but for now, all I want are simple chat rooms that you will find through searches.

Sounds like a great idea...
 

I sincerely hope that this feature is introduced- although how many people will actually use it is in question. I frequently try to chat- usually without success. There's some bloody miserable Limewirers out there!:p :D

Lime Wire Chat Room
 

Speaking of Chat Rooms, What happened to the chat feature in L.W. 4.2.4?:confused:

lol it's there. you just have to find it. No I mean you have to enable it. For mac if you click on a file you're uplding/dwnlding or in the search results & press the Control key, lots of options will pop up. One is for chatting with that host. Also, if you Control-click on the top of the column bar lots of other column options will show - one being chat to show if people have chat enabled (which shows a smiley sun.) For windows I'm not sue what you use. My guess is mouse right-click instead of the mac's Control-click. Happy to know about this if anybody can fill me in!

Thanks partner, I'll give that a try. By the way, I enjoyed your movies. Will there be a part four? Take Care.

Can you tell me how you do the equivalent on windows?! I use a mac so with my mouse I can't exactly duplicate what you people do on windows. Where'd the cat get to! Or anybody? It'll benefit a lot of people if I can pass it on!

We have a private forum & there's more anim's there for a bit of fun! lol It's hard to qualify anim's in a normal question thread. (I do it for a bit of cheek or side-joke sometimes.)

Chat in Windows
 

It's pretty similar in Windows. Right click on column bar to enable the display to indicate whether a person has chat enabled and right click on a file displayed as a result of a search or one being downloaded/ uploaded to check same.

Xcellent! Thanks dogbreath! I hope you cleaned your teeth this morning. woof lol :D ;)

Ah what the heck! lol :D

i was talking about a side box so we could all chat at the same time not the 1 on 1 u was showing lotr
and this is how u set up chat with windows

sorry i never sed how i just give the picture
all u do is right click on the name bar and u will get the image i have just put on all u do is click chat then all ppl who have selected enable chat will show up

to enable chat go click option then click chat then check the chat is on

a scrolly thingy to skim through songs would be so much handier, plus is there any way you can search through a song as its playing??

Yes definitely a way. Use another player instead of LW's player. lol :D If you'd prefer, disable LW's player (Tools>Options>Player & untick player. Or for OSX that's LW's Prefs>Player) & then your default player will launch every time you launch a tune. But yes I agree. More control on LW's player would be good!!! ;)
