O.P. RE: [Release] URL Preview 1.0.1
You're right, Jimbo, I will correct in next version. The script simply grabs all received URLs in chat messages and displays a small thumbnail of the website. This removes the need to click the link to see what is behind it. If the thumb looks promising, then simply click it and the site will open in your default browser, just like you would have clicked the link directly. Next features will include 4 selectable sizes from 280x210px to 100x75px (currently fixed to 200x150px), and a setting to choose the position of the thumbnail (currently fixed to left-bottom). Maybe I'll also include an URL filter, which would e.g. hide all thumbnails from *.youtube.com or so. Any suggestions?

Personally, i love this script, its really useful when friends think they're funny sending you dirty links like lemonparty:P and you click them. Also, i think you should give the user a choice of where to position the toast, like bottom left, top left, top right etc, and the size of the window, rather than having choices, maybe just let the user enter their own constraints, maybe with a restriction so it cannot go larger than a certain number. Thanks :)

I dont know how the script makes the thumbnail (i asume loading a instance of IE and making a screenshot). But what about security? Sites that do someting that is not cool, like evil javacript/cookies/ etc. Those are then automaticly executed. So when u know who has the script you send 'evil site', and its executed on the receivers pc.
