Re: Changes in Preferences

Yo Siddhesh,

If I remember correctly, another user wanted to get the latest Ayttm to test
and I was
trying to give hin the commands needed. This was one of them:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous-w94BVCp4ahQeNlHF0+d3UcDlaYrLISYHXqFh9Ls21Oc@public.gmane.org:/cvsroot/ayttm co
ayttm

and I kept getting smilies for the :p and the :/ so he couldn't read the
code

We finally used another chat client.

If you move enable/disable smileys off the prefs screen, it would require:
quitting Ayttm, editing the prefs file, and restarting Ayttm. This seems
like a lot of effort
for a couple of lines in an otherwise smile laden conversation. I would
rather see you
go in the other direction - possibly an "off for this post" in the smiley
box on the
chat screen.
