I was thinking about what you guys could do to improve the software... I think the whois feature will be great but i thought there was still something missing...

And thats why i bring my [size=24] BIG[/size] Idea

to you today.

I was thinking that you guys could make a toolbar for SpamitBack! that could be accessed in the internet explorer.

Basically the layout would be as followed
____ ____ ___________ ______ _ _ _
|Start| |Stop| |Submit Score| |Options| |_| |_| |_| Packages Sent:
------ ------ ---------------- ---------- T1 T2 T3 Your Score:

I think this would be a nice consideration Very Happy

Hmm it messed up the design... but hopefully you get the impression i was trying to leave.

Hmm, think I know what you mean. You mean kind of like the 'google'
toolbar, right? Hmm... might be kind of complicated to do (took a look
at that, and it is actually fairly sophisticated to add it *directly* to MSIE).

However... maybe what we can do (essentially the same thing) is
have a 'window' that 'stays on top' of MSIE, and has the statistics, etc...
That is essentially what you are referring to, correct?

If so, that's been put on the to-do list...

How about making one for Mozilla FireFox? I've heard that it isn't hard to make plugins for it, prolly cuz it's open source....

Thanks for taking the idea into consideration... I think another good thing would do something like flashget (Google it if you dont know what it is) It shows a little box and you can move it anywhere and it shows how much you have downloaded... You can take that and make it show how many emails you have sent and what your score is. Then you could add some right click functions in it like "Submit score"

Hmmm.... just noticed that there is a minimize to tray option Razz

... What you could do with that is like i said with the flashget thing... So when you minimize the box shows up and shows your progress. Then you could right click on the icon in the tray and click Start, Stop, or Submit score.

yep... currently working on adding the internal 'spam reporter'
functionality...

but have put that on the to-do list, & yes... probably will be able
to move it around, etc, as you described...

Also, I would be glad to help you out with the project in anyone possible. Maybe Idea Manager, Programmer, etc.

Hi Zook,

A new version of the software has now been released which has the toolbar option.

As for offering to help, yes, that would be great. What are your skills? (If you wish to keep that private, please send us an e-mail through our online contact form)

What other ideas did you have?
