Hi all!
I am an avid user of mIRC on my PC here but will be switching to mac fairly soon. Let me tell you how I usually use mIRC so you can maybe give me a recommendation on which program to use..
I usually have around 6 windows open and do not like having them squeezed into one little window - I prefer to have them as separate windows, so when one flashes (i.e. is active), i know about it. Don't ask me why.. but I will say that some are staff related for this community I am part of and like being aware.
I also use several aliases (/pw being identify, /all being join all the channels I usually join, /kban kickban, etc.) during the chat, as well as a "limit script" that adjusts the limit on each channel automatically (won't go into explaining this bit - this script doesn't matter; aliases kinda do.)
Any suggestions?
As for MSN/AIM, I use MSN 7 Beta on Windows for my main MSN. I have a public MSN, two public AIMs, one Yahoo, and one ICQ that are mostly for community + real life use at times... all on Trillian.
I am planning to use the latest MSN Messenger for Mac as I like the way it is layed out, smilies, etc.. what is a good "all-in-one" program for the others??
Also, on our discussion boards that I administrate, removing oversize signature images is also part of the job. Right now, I use Opera 8 Beta and can right-click on images to quickly see their size. (Right click -> Image Properties) Am wondering.. Safari, as far as I know, doesn't have this option to right click and see image properties. Is there a way to add that or a way around it? I wouldn't mind using Opera on the Mac but Safari seems like such a nice browser!
That's all for now, may add more questions later.
