Is there a way to save standard messages (like "welcome new opps, have fun") so they do not have to be typed every time from scratch? Please email to ruffij (see my profile) if there is a way - otherwise - maybe add this feature in the next update!

You can use a third party product. I use OKScript - do a web search. There are other options available.

Or you can cut and paste from a plain text file.

Another one is Remotekeys.. and can be found at...
http://www.freewareh.../RemoteKeys.htm

Sorry to say, I am not computer literate enough to be able to ensure you that this doesn't include virus or trojen stuff. I use it with no problems that I can tell, adn not virus hits... Also check of "remotekeys" doesn't turn up virus alerts per se on the global anti-virus sites. Since this is the free version of a very successful commercial product, it is probably safe.

Hi all,
the easiest way to store 1(one message) without jumping to other products:
1.click "chat"
2.write the message, without sending
3. with mous mark the message
4. click "Ctrl+C" buttons together (copy to clipboard)
5. send the message ( or not send anyway it's stored)
6. next time you want to say same, click "chat"
7. click "Ctrl+V" and the same words appera
8. click send
Regards
Rado

Unless the BBO client software has changed, you still cannot "Copy" from the Chat dialog. That is why others suggested storing your messages in a plain text file (you can use Notepad or any other editor). Then you can "Copy" from this file and "Paste" into the Chat dialog ("Paste" has always worked).

Copy & Paste works with the chat dialog box.

Right you are. Note you can ONLY use it with the dialog. Once you press enter (or click Chat) and the message is displayed in the Chat Pane, you can no longer "Copy" it.

I have tried to download the OKScript from Mike Mardesich's website http://home1.gte.net/yweare/

This site doesn't seem to be working. I have tried everyday for the last 3 days.

Is anyone elese having the same problem?
