AVChat 3 September build (960)
Quite a few updates this month! The focus was on making moderation easier for admins, that’s why we have new ban options, the ability to edit rooms, faster access to kick/ban/whois and a bunch of other small improvements that will make an admin’s life so much more easier!
New features:
- You now have the ability to stop someone from viewing you(works best when cam is private because when cam is public the other user can just hit [View Cam] again):
- Clicking on a username in the text chat will bring up the side menu for that user
- Blocking someone will now prevent him from viewing you any more!
Security improovements:
- New ban panel with ban by username/cookie and silent ban options:
Silent ban means the other users do not get the “X has been banned” message. - Kick and ban messages now have a red background:
- The users list will now always display admins on top ( admins that have the admin icon) regardless of the sort algorithm chosen.
- Admins can now edit rooms, there is a new EDIT ROOM button in the rooms panel:
- There’s a new option to automatically add the ip of users to the username in the users list. With this feature on users will be more careful about posting illegal material (links/pictures/webcam content/etc…). This feature is turned on in our online demo of AVChat, here’s how it looks:
- Admins will now see a ban kick and whois link for each text chat message(including for the ones in the history) like this:
This will make moderation easier!
- When an admin joins a room he will now see the last 100 messages instead of the last 20, this will allow him to better moderate what happened in the room while he was gone
- The whois service (link) for when clicking the whois button can now be changed from avc_settings.xxx!
How to get the new AVChat 3 build:
- download the software again from your client area
How to update your installation:
- in the usual way: overwrite ALL the old files (including the en.xml language file and the media server files) and restart the media server!
- if the above fails make a clean clean install!
