I keep telling kent to make a pref UI for it but he hasn't yet...But you can activate it by making an entry to the plist file..I forget what that entry is but you can find it somewhere in this blog archives. Two hidden features are blocking aolsysmessage and turning focus rings on and off... Kevin Balard, it already has that feature, it’s a hidden feature.

But here's the biggest problem -- if I post as my "available" message the following text: "This is just about the longest available message I can type. I am pretty miffed that it truncates my available message!" I can see the full amount at the top of the window as my custom message, but everyone else can only see: "This is just about the longest available mes" And when a friend of mine uses the same text, it's the same truncation. However, other people are able to practically write books for their message. Can anyone please tell me how/why this is happening?!?!?! John So I love Chax, and iChat.

If not, an applescript should be able to (and QS could run the applescript for you). You can try asking on the forums if you can't figure out how to do it (http://www.blacktree.com). Kent, The #1 feature I want for iChat right now is the ability to squelch the damn messages from AOL System Msg. Every time I wake my laptop from sleep, I get a message about being logged in twice since my mobile device is also logged on. It's getting extremely annoying, and I want to kill those messages, but blocking doesn't work (since blocking is done server-side and the server is sending the messages regardless). It would be great if Chax could squelch them. Jim Bates: Quicksilver might possibly be able to help you with that. If not, an applescript should be able to (and QS could run the applescript for you).

Can't figure out a way to send messages to more than one person at a time. Can Chax help with that? I don't wanna use AIM or any internet-based service for security reasons....just Bonjour. Thanks!
