VeriChat Beta Testing

[Darius Wey]

Hi everyone...

Just tried out the beta version of VeriChat

Being beta of course: :twisted:

Problems:
:twisted: (1) Adding/Removing/Blocking/Unblocking contacts of any IM network will lead to you being kicked off the server, and thus I have to log in again.
:twisted: (2) Opening the Contact Properties option is non-functional and results in the above.
:twisted: (3) Program does not mask your password...not good for quite onlookers.
:twisted: (4) Inability to rename contacts like Trillian, unless the option is available under Contact Properties if it worked.
:twisted: (5) Probably are more that I can't think of...

But beta is beta so you can't expect too much.

And of course, if you wanna try it out, email [email protected]

But I don't think VeriChat will ever be quite like Trillian.

Dj Apod,

I alos just tried it out. Does it try to go to the internet automatically when you launch the program (even before you set up the accounts)?

Well at first, I tried to open the program when I wasn't connected to the net thinking it was like Trillian. And then it said that I needed to have an active connection. My steaming factor ticked over to 1.

Then I set up my accounts, no problem...but then I saw that it didn't mask the passwords. Not that that was a problem because I was alone in the room but I just thought it would be better if it was masked. My steaming factor ticked over to 2.

Then I connected to ICQ/MSN. And I was like YAY!

Then I tried to manage my accounts, and then everything went haywire (as I explained when I started this topic), and my steaming factor ticked over to about 10!!! By then, my biological fuse had broken, and I was waiting for all hell inside me to break loose...which it eventually did, because I uninstalled the program in complete frustration.

So did it try to go to the internet automatically? In short, yes... In long, see above. 8)

I am testing this out as well.

The initial connection is for the offline message option. I skipped that.
I did not need to add any contacts since this software picked up my server based contacts for AIM, MSN and Yahoo. I will have to test adding contacts. I was able to chat with my existing contacts and see their properties without the application crashing. That sounds good to me!

I sent the details of my experience and some suggestions to the developers. If you have not, I suggest you do the same.

DJ Apod, As you know, this is a beta. Maybe you need to cool off a bit before trying something like this.
