It seems that somebody forgot to clean up after themselves when conducting some biological experiments in the swamplands on Rubi-Ka. Freelancers working with the ICC are attempting to contain the situation, while the Terra Firma clan and Omni-Med are accusing each other of irresponsibility and sabotage, respectively.

Chat and GUI changes

- It is now possible to disable underlining and linkcolor on hyperlinks by adding a "style=text-decoration:none" attribute to the <A> tag.

- Clicking on a group name in a chat window will now make that group the default output channel for the window. SHIFT + click on a group name will activate text-input and insert "/group <groupname> " into the input bar (this will also happen if you leftclick a group that is not subscribed to the window anymore even if SHIFT is not pressed).

- The text-view will now read/write ANSI text to the clipboard on windows versions that don't support UNICODE. Should make cut/past between the chat and external programs work on Win98.
