I can answer this like this: if it has no benefit, why is it already implemented in pidgin (currently only thru a typed command) ? 1.) this allows one to temporarily leave a channel (to not be bothered By new message notifications) and then rejoin later 2.) alows one to read the channel content without new messages "pushing it up" I agree that on channels with few traffic there is not much difference between the channel as is (joined) and parted. Also in current version it can happen that a channel tab is open, but the user is not joined. Due to absence of the features in topic, he must join by typing A command (redundantly repeating the channel name*) instead of a convenient click. * - unless "/join *" would work, but I doubt, since "/part *" does not work either; Enhancing these two commands to mean the current tabs channel when called without paramaters would be a nice "half-implementation" of the requested features Regards, David _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [email protected] http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
