The text part of the private chat works great. However, if two different PM windows are opened, both can hear the private voice chat. While this could make for interesting conversation, it might be nice it that didn't happen lol

Is there anyway for an Admin to allow a user to register with the server and then we can set their permissions as we see fit? The only reason I ask is because it will be come a daunting task to add all the users that I have individually and getting a password they want and then setting up their perms. Would just be easier for them to do this and then I can worry about what I want.

Thanks!

I love the new program its amazing its running and easy to use. But are you going to release a patch for backwards capability to 2.3 because I can not connect to any ventrilo's still on 2.3 and I am required to multi vent a lot in my job. so I was just wondering if that will be up soon.


Thank you,

P.S. I was still a great Build

I use the Logitech G15 gaming keyboard with LCD display. Currently, only the Beta ventrilo client adds support for the LCD. Will this beta still work with the new 3.0 servers, or does the new 3.0 CLIENT add LCD support?

PS. Sorry, I didn't see the post about NOT POSTING. Please move my question to appropriate category. Thank you.

The client has LCD support.
