YTK Pro Now Available! *pre-release to release info tracking*

[Torseq Tech.]

If we ever add that back, Hated, I'll be sure to let you know. You wouldn't need to purchase YTK Pro because chances are if we were to add it back it'd end up in Lite. I'll look into what can be done.

There are many people that will use YTK with webcam options. put a few in the YTK lite to get people to buy tho pro to get more webcam features.

Sorry..didn't see the link tucked away in the very lower left hand corner...like you couldn't put it in the main menu somewhere??? Most people don't keep looking below the copyright!! If you're selling a product put the darn support link up where people can see it. Even after you posted the screenshot I still couldn't find it for 5 minutes. A person shouldn't have to look so hard to find it, or navigate to the download site after already purchasing it. I know...I know..it's also in the EULA, rtf file too, but how many people are going to open the programs/ytk folder to find it?? And, it's not even a LINK just an e-mail addy!

Well, you could always try the YTK Pro Community Support Forum if you didn't want to mess with the e-mail. There is a real friendly and helpful support staff as well (also there's a place to post all feature requests you may have). =)

WhatwasIthinking, we're not attempting to hide support access to customers at all if that's what you're implying. Also, for the third time now you've been told that a COMMUNITY SUPPORT FORUM does indeed exist and all problems seem to disappear when you simply register there and post your trouble(s) if you've got any.

The community support forum isn't hard to miss and contact information usually is out of the way and not in plain view, this isn't quite uncommon. There isn't a need to continue to act the way you're acting. If you're able to repost my images you're quite capable of finding a support link at the bottom of a web page and clicking on it.

As for e-mail tech support, Brock and I, the two developers of this program handle it all ourselves. When you e-mail support you talk to us directly and not somebody being paid to answer questions or complaints. We do this on top of development and on top of tending to our forum and managing the web site and servers. If you need support you have two choices, one is through e-mail and the other is through the community forum (which I've directed you towards before). Let's not make it anymore difficult than it has to be.

I only posted those screen shots because you stated that the support links weren't ever there to begin with when they were, you just weren't able to find them. Whether this was your fault or mine is irrelevant. Let's drop the heat from this thread now, it's gone off topic and this isn't a place for YTK Pro support, this is a thread on a completely separate forum tracking release information and other happenings related to YTK Pro.

You're right it has gone off topic. But, just to let you know, my browser (Mozilla) DOES NOT SHOW the support link on your homepage.....hence my frustration and annoyance.

YTK Pro Beta Build 260 to be available today/tommorow!

Sit tight... this update will be a good one. Shooting for a release today so it very well may happen.

[Torseq Tech.]

YTK Pro v1.0 Beta Build 260 Released!!

Many internal changes did not make this list, the more noticeable things did however so here's a preview of what to expect.

• Additions:
  
• Several (10+) new commands were added to YTK Pro's chat room command line support. Use /? or /help for an on-screen list of them all when in chat
• Added an "Auto-Scroll" checkbox to the Global Ignore Bin
• YTK Pro now detects YTK Lite and terminates if it's running in memory
• Global Ignore Bin now has an export option
• Added Local-only broadcasting option for LaunchCAST and WinAMP support (Only you see the song data on your chat screen)
• Ignore filter violators are now printed to the external event logger and the embedded tiny event logger with filter, type, rule and the expression that ignored the user
• System tray icon now changes colors to reflect c-mode/gawd mode activation
• Added a recently "Ignored Chat Users" window with real-time voice state reflection and right-click menu options so you don't have to navigate through your entire Global Ignore Bin to see who's on ignore. With the right-click menu options you have the ability to unignore users, view their profile and add them to your Global Safe List
• Added 3 new toolbar buttons to the chat window for easy access to the Global Ignore Bin, Global Safe List and the newly added recent chat ignores window
• Info tips / hints have been added to some YTK Pro features with useful information via mouse hovering
• Show splash screen option added (TY Venom for the artwork!)
• Voice credentials are now exported and printed to the chat screen for those of you who load external VOX programs and/or want the information for voice dominance. The command is /vcinfo to do this
  
  
  Bug Fixes:
• Add Buddy requests sent in Flood Deflection mode caused the server to disconnect the client and potentially crashed Yahoo! Messenger in some cases
• Global Ignore Bin entries needed to be validated against the buddy list when signing into Yahoo
• Contact users first in PM zone showed blocked alert even when PMs werent blocked
• Removed ignore filter window's Clear All confirmation when you click "Clear All" because it can popup under the window and cause the topmost, parent window to be unresponsive (freeze) while fighting for window z-order position. DUH!
• Fixed Tiny Activity Logger from eating a part of the chat window's scrollbar, resizing the window fixed this small issue in previous builds
• Custom color for Alert Bar wasn't saved or applied
• Custom color for chat bgcolor wasn't saved or applied
• An emoticon / wasn't allowed to be typed in a chat room if the message started with this emote, YTK thought it was a command since it assumes the first character on the line '/' to be a command prefix which is in place to help people avoid the embarrassment of mistyping a command, that way it isn't sent to the servers and on everyones chat screen
• The OS can now be shutdown when YTK is active and running *without shutting down YTK first*
• Ignore filter rule handling could in some cases potentially violate the zoning concept and allow for the mixing of zones in special cases
• Enabling and then disabling of the SOCKs proxy option caused the User Scanning username text input field to be disabled and not allow further text input
• Chat room background color was not always applying in some cases, should be fixed now
• A bug in the recently joined rooms option existed which involved YTK Pro's list of rooms and the one stored in Yahoo! Messenger to differ in some special cases, this has been corrected and a completely new parsing system was written which utilizes the registry as before only this is much more reliable and will eliminate all potential issues with list differences between the (2) processes allowing real-time room name updates to occur seemlessly and stay in-synch with one another
  
  
  Improvements:
• Clear chat screen sub-menu removed from PM windows (no real need)
• Improved the denying of Add Buddy requests when blocked
• Touched up room list handling when joining chat to handle a special case (certain numerical IDs consisting of room list key/value codes caused Messenger parsing problems if sent first)
• URL catcher now has gridlines
• Updated revoice delay time which is internally part of unignoring a user, it was too low of an interval and in some cases a user didn't have "ears/headphones" in chat when unignored if they were voiced (they could still be heard on voice but the image in your room list wasn't always reflected correctly as a 'voiced' user)
• WinAMP broadcasts now examine artist and title tags (MP3 info tags), if they're returned and valid they are displayed otherwise the filename of the song is broadcasted, previous builds of YTK used the filename solely
• "Block but Save" PM message replies are not sent to the blocked archive storage window anymore if you have contacted the user
• PM Challenge Integrity Checking/Magic Word Verification system is now as smart as the "Block but Save" PM option where if a user's message is replied to future replies are sent to your PM window instead of back to the verification storage window
• License file is now stored to \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data so that accidental license file deletion is not an issue when uninstalling YTK Pro and upgrading to a newer build
• Recently joined rooms count caption (static control) in Yahoo! Messenger's "Join Room" dialog is now updated to reflect the room count in real time from YTK Pro and are completely in synch with each other. In previous builds the count was only updated when the dialog was created
• Users who were auto-ignored for offenses sometimes had different icons in the external event logger and it looked inconsistent, this now is consistent and when a user is auto-ignored you will see a red (prohibited) icon in the external event logger
• Removed horizontal scrollbars from the file transfer screening listview, global ignore bin, global safe list and the ignore filter rules listview as there is no need for them and it looked sloppy

It's a big update. =) I'm wondering what some of the users here think of this new build?

[Torseq Tech.]

This is easily the most bug-free build we've yet to put out (they've always been reliable/stable so I won't say 'the most stable'). Not only is it mostly bug-free but there's new useful features that are exciting to go with it! With Ian's Spam Filter file (Found Here: http://www.ik-cs.com/ytk/Filters.sav) and this new beta build of YTK Pro, the sky's the limit. Expect things only to get bigger and better!
