- The "Integrate Captcha Image into Chat" option has been fixed. It was broken where you could only get into chat once with it and thereafter you would see no image code on-screen. If there are any other issues with it then please post them on the forum and we'll look into them.

YTK Pro v1.0 Beta Build 358b has been released!
11/10/07 11:35 AM Filed in: Program News
- Release Notes for YTK Pro v1.0 Beta Build 358b
- Chat Room Integration of the Captcha System is still available BUT it is no longer a default option (due to some members having problems with it). This feature is now labeled as Experimental!
- Debugging information is now printed to the external event logger for users having problems with the captcha image code not being displayed in chat when "Integrate Captcha into Chat" is enabled. The event logger does not have to be open to log this information BUT Log Unhandled Events (YTK Exceptions) under Diagnostics in the YTK control panel has to be enabled for this information to be available to us. This will allow us to figure out what's going wrong so we can fix the issue and have it working for ALL of our YTK Pro users.
- Auto-Launch Captcha in Popup Box is now the new default captcha viewing feature.
- A new feature has been added to change/toggle between Nicknames and IDs on-the-fly in chat rooms. The magnifying glass toolbar button now allows you to do this for convenience purposes instead of having to go to the "View" Messenger menu and selecting "Show Nicknames".

Chat servers on all known ports -> 20, 23, 25, 80, 119, 5050, 8001 or 8002. This support was added for getting around firewalls that may only allow you to connect out on certain well-known ports.
- On-screen highlighting for text removal (of single lines AND blocks of text) was added as a new feature when in chat rooms. Right-click on the chat screen to use this new option called "Clear Selection" after you've highlighted your area of text (including emoticons) to be removed from the screen.
- *Warning* Do NOT remove the bottom or top break selection on the chat screen or else every time you type a message you'll get an Internet Explorer Scripting Error! Closing the chat window and opening it again will fix this issue if you accidentally encounter it.
