Only added one completely new feature this evening. If you login to The Mercury System you will notice a red circular button with a white "X". This will clear the current conversation with that Pal. This is the equivalent of simply X'ing out a window in a traditional desktop IM client. You can close IM windows in TMS but the conversation will still be there when you reopen the window. The clear button allows you to clear out the entire previous conversation.
There is the potential for a verification step to be added to make certain that you do not accidentally click that icon. But as for you now you click that button to clear out the IM conversation.
We ran into one of the biggest and possibly most important errors that could be generated by use of The Mercury System. But it's where the server is conserned. All testers received a message stating that the program had used up over the allocated amount of CPU that can be used up by my account in a very small amount of time. Now this is weird because there was only one or two conversations going on and we've had much more than that on other nights without any kind of problem. So now I have to look deeply into this. I am also thinking over ways to optimize everything even further to try to keep these problems from occuring on other peoples' systems after they start using TMS. But it has me slightly worried with only two active users on.
I will have to check my server's error logs and try to find out exactly what happened. But I plan to spend a lot of time on the optimization to see if we can keep that message from every coming back.
That's it for this past evening.
I don't think I got a message like that. Maybe I wasn't on at that time...
I noticed the clear conversation button though. Cool stuff. :)

You probably weren't. I believe that Lazypuppy and I were the only ones on at that particular time and it cleared up after a minute. But obviously I don't want this happening continuously to sites that use TMS with tons of users.

Hmm...you are a genius. Dave's a genius.
All these new features with the whole javascript, etc...I have no idea about any of it. Just nodding my head along with whatever you say.
By-the-way, I nearly got lost inside all the entries. Change the wording, slow down and it might be easier. Or maybe that's just me. =P
