There are a few bugs in ichat that i would like to point out to those of you who are unaware... when you post a url that is preceded by a port number for example www.mysite.com:9000/blah.html... the link wil get cut off after the semicolon and therefore the user wont be able to get to the full url...

another thing is they need to fix the transfer window buddy icon and the default buddy minimized to dock icon, cause it's really pixelated...

perhaps they can also add to the file transfer window how fast your transfer is going.

thats all i can think of for now, hrmm, there were a few more, but i cannot remember it at the moment...

That would be a colon.

iChat is bug-ridden, but I know other certain 3rd party clients that have similar problems with URL linking.

Your buddies could always try copy-n-pasting.

It is not iChat's fault. It is the way OSX's frameworks works.

You blamed it on iChat because someone made their buddy icon at 48x48? Oh please

iChat already have that. Next time, do a better observation before posting here

What made you feel like you should bash on iChat while there are tons of threads about it a while ago?

All user-defined buddy icons will get pixelated anyway. Might as well be consistent
