There's an update to ventrilo!!! Apparently all the whining and crying convinced the fine developers over at ventrilo to release a patch.
Here's the info:
Obviously some people have had a few problems with the 3.0 upgrade. But nothing that couldn't be overcome with a few changes in configuration files and an understand of how to tweak the default guest account.
With that said we have built a fairly good list of things that people would like to see changed. I'll list them here.
1) Clients will not display the (GUEST) tag by default. There will be a menu option called View -> Guests similar to View -> Rank if you want it on by default. Simple thing to add.
2) Given the Dup IP complaints the User Editor will default all "New" accounts created to "No Limit". The default guest account setting requires a server tweak, but the licensees have been given a quick way to get around that in the mean time. Or, have your server admin login and adjust the setting of the guest account live. Then issue a "Kick all guests". Problem solved.
3) MOTD for guest account will have option to display only if it changes like the normal motd.
4) An oversight in the user editor not displaying a horz scroll bar for REALLY long names was found. I'll see if I can get that fixed as well since it shouldn't be a problem.
I do want to point out as I explained to DragonST that with the guest account tag removed all these are still subject to the guest account rights. But the default settings (minus the Dup IP) provides them with the same basic rights they had on 2.3 as a non-Server Admin. The only thing changed is the offending tag and nothing else. As stated makes them the same thing as a normal 2.3 client.
If I have missed anything then please let me know and I'll update this post. But do it quick as I will start the work Thursday morning.
With any luck I should have an updated Windows 3.0.1 client no later then Friday. Maybe earlier. And a Mac 3.0.1. to follow a day or two later depending on how fast the windows client updates go.

Chicky.
Does that mean we "minions" don't have to download anything else as it's all server side?
