Re: [dcplusplus-devel] Disable Auto follow redirects

[Jacek S. <arn...@gm...>]

Hm,

I'm not sure what the best way would be...I keep autofollow off and I guess the main reason for
having it on by default was because nmdc did it that way, but that's not a reason any longer...

Maybe a more prominent forward button that would only become active when there's actually a forward
to follow, along with a no-reconnect policy when a forward is received to keep dc++ from spamming
hubs with attempts that will fail anyway?
