Pros:
+ Everything is in the right place.
+ Voice quality is exceptional.
+ The theme looks great to me, easy on the eye's and easy to locate everything.
+ Chat box on the bottom is nice/

Cons:
- More features needed such as adjustable volume per user, private chat that allows more then one user to talk or chat privately with one another.
- Adjustable window that scales vertically and horizontally for the server window and not just the edges of the program.

Suggestions/Feature Requests
+ Ability to move primary channels and not just sub channels.
+ Right-clicking any channel says Update channel's data. Perhaps Edit Channel would be easier to comprehend for others?
+ Ability to mute or unmute everyone in a channel with a keybind.
+ Ability to add image and clickable URL banners to the Server MOTD.
+ Keep it simple.
+ Ability to add comments that are clickable.

Hi Soulzz, thanks for taking the time to give us some feedback. Really appreciated.

Cons:

-Specific user adjustable volume is in the que and will be added in the next 7-10 days.
-Private multi-user chat is also in the que, but I don't have a specific ETA on that. For now you can right click on a user and hit "Send message to user" making it private.
-Adjustable window size is completed and will be in the next released version coming in the next few days.

Suggestions:
-You can move any channel which doesn't have a user in it. That includes Channels, Sub-Channels, Sub-Sub Channels and etc.
-Changing the name of the "Update Channel's data to "Edit Channel" is a great suggestion. Consider it done.
-Key bindings are in the works.
-We're working on images in the MOTD, they are not as easy as you might think given the way the MOTD is currently displayed.
-Clickable comments along with a profile system are in the works.

If you'd like your own Mohawk server to continue testing (for free) we're happy to supply that. You would get admin rights of course, etc.

Let us know :)

[Soulzz]

Thank you but I already have a beta testing server from WOLF ;)

I'll post in this thread with more suggestions as I get more time to think about what needs to be added/changed/removed.

More Feedback:
+ Option to connect with the highest quality codec automatically only if server admin sets it.
+ Channel description for channels similar to that of TS. User's would be able to enable to disable this feature for main and sub channels.
+ Remove 'Rename Channel', 'Set/clear channel's password'. Move both of these functions to 'Edit Channel'.
+ Under 'Channel Permissions' - ability to set custom user levels and ability to delete default ones if the user chooses to do so.
+ Ability to set MOTD's for specific user classes, i.e. Basic User (MOTD HERE), Server Admin (MOTD HERE), etc.
+ Ability to hold Alt+Left-Click to select and move multiple users at a time.
+ I suggest making an automatic login check box for people that want to automatically join the server and ignore the password prompt.
+ Rename 'SysAdmin Functions' to 'Admin Area' or 'Admin Control Panel' or 'Control Panel'.
+ New icons for Microphone mute/unmute and Sound mute/unmute perhaps?

Questions:
? - What is the current function of 'Notes' under the edit channel options?
? - What's the current status of the video communications feature for Mohawk Voice?
? - Is it currently possible to link a banner from imageshack to that of the Mohawk Server MOTD?
? - Is the chat on the bottom of Mohawk Voice global only? If so I would suggest making it broadcast the text on a per channel/sub-channel basis.
? - Are there going to be advanced features like a user editor? If so I would suggest not making it as complex as Ventrilo's.

More feedback to come if anything more pops in my mind.

[jbiloh]

Thanks again :)

-Great suggestion with moving the Rename Channel and Set/Clear password to the newly renamed "Edit Channel." We'll have that changed asap.
-Regarding the connect with highest quality codec, noted.
-Channel description will be added asap.
-Custom MOTD's based on user level is an interesting idea. I will ask the developers.
-When box for "automatically use this password next time" is checked client will attempt to login with saved password without showing password box. If password is wrong box will appear alerting user. Great suggestion!
-The new microphone/sound icons are something we're looking for but because you need 3 types for each icon (disabled, on, off) it's sometimes tough.

Answers:
-Notes is an admin area, allowing you to notify other channel/system admins of needed information.
-Video will be released in late fall 2008.
-No images are allowed in the MOTD at the moment, but that is changing soon.
-Typing in the chat area will only send text to users in your channel unless the channel is set to "Send messages to sub channels." You can send messages to any channel by right clicking on it and clicking "Send message to channel's users."
-Yes there is a user editor, and it's not as complex as Ventrilo. If you have System Admin right click on the "root" (next to the globe in the channel list) and click "update a registered user's data."

Bugs:
- When going into a channel that doesn't support using the chat box messages they still show up until hide chat is clicked. (Possible bug?)

Suggestions/Requests:
+ Ability to post URL's in 'Private Chat'.

I'm running out of ideas! :D

[jbiloh]

URL's work in Private Chat already.

What are you typing which doesn't work?

[chris]

Dont' forget tit requires www. in the front of www.mohawkvoice.com. mohawkvoice.com will not be linked in chat if it doesn't have the www.

[Soulzz]

Must have made a mistake, apologies. One thing I did notice is that when I'm in the same channel I cannot edit it whereas I can edit a channel that I am not currently in.

IDEA:
I had an interesting thought that is going to be incorporated in TS3. Perhaps something like an avatar that is displayed to the left of the person's name or displayed whenever you click on that person. Could also be replaced by picture limited to a certain height and width that is shown in place of the red button.

[jbiloh]

We actually have a really neat profile system in the works. It will have avatars.

[Turbo123]

YES i love that i keep hearing about this avatar system /excited! Please make it good! I have seen features like this go bad... I have high hopes :p
