What about specifying from which forum the new post is? It will get confusing when both Cemetech and Omni goes on a posting rampage. Sunday there were 550 posts on Omnimaga and I think Cemetech had quite high activity too, judging by when I logged in to catch up Monday.
Way ahead of you, it's already done ;)

Well, that's what you get when a really good idea starts floating around...
I guess so :P

Ahh, yes: New [forum] post by [author] in [topic] should be a nice format. It's short and grammatically reasonable :)

Is it possible to have it automatically remove the previous version? The Exit function is kinda useless unless the user knows to uninstall it himself.

Deep, the next version will probably be the last, so it's really not worth it.

K, great, but in that case the Exit thing should be removed IMO unless there's a way to restart it.

When this is finished, I will probably put a link to it on the front page, among the radio thing and the mobile Omnimaga links.

In the next update: could you prevent users from selecting an update rate lower than 5 seconds? Just to make sure to not overload the database.

There is a way to restart it: go to the start menu and run it :P
DJ, okay.

Also, in settings, there should be an option to choose if you want new posts to open in a new browser window/tab or in the current one.

Wow DJ, that's one hell of a feature request O_O I'd have to figure out how to do that on every major browser (which would all likely have different methods) and they probably won't support that anyway :P

Oh, yeah, it works if run from the same spot. Nvm :P

I think the current version's good enough. New windows/tabs almost always work better than the current one.

Ah ok. If it's too complicated I guess it is better to leave it as it is, then. I was just worried people would end up with 20 Omni tabs open x.x (with OmnomIRC running)

Another feature that I am unsure if it's doable or not: preventing multiple instances of the program from running at once (again, 1and1 ressource usage protection. I wonder if groups of ppl could just run 1000 copies of it to sort-of-DDoS Omni?)

Yeah, I can do that.
I was also wondering, how many people are actually using this?

Well, I'm using it :P I think I may also have community news, so I may add stuff like TI-Calc news, and things like "KnightOS Released!  Click here to download"
