CIX is proud to announce a brand new client for reading and posting to CIX through Windows – CIXReader. CIXReader is bursting with new features that help to keep you up to date with all your forums, so you never miss a post.

A Distant Memory

Thanks to the new CIXReader you can forget:

• Telnet: Now CIXReader connects through a secure HTTPS API meaning you can be rid of telnet and have messages downloaded quickly to maintain the CIX experience.
• Blinking: Messages are synchronised automatically, and posted instantly, reducing any OLR Lag problems.
• Broken Threads: The aim of CIX Reader is to simplify the messaging system, so even when you move machines, you’ll still be able to access the same messages and forums quickly.
• Confusing Menus: CIXReader features just four headings- Forums, Messages, Directory, Account – to help you navigate.

Improved Features

Thanks to the new CIXReader, you will now enjoy:

• Access to private messages: bringing the feature to the desktop world, you can now access messages between you and another user.
• Font Styling: retained from Ameol2 and across CIX
• Improved Layout/Multi-pane view: choose from two pane or three pane view, whichever you prefer. Both still support threading.
• Moderator features: Moderators can still withdraw posts and also post in read-only topics. New topics can be created in CIXForums web interface.
• Simple install: download, confirm, login and go!
• Starred messages: to return to a message for later, just star it, and you’ll be able to find it when you’re ready to reply.
• Auto-updates: never miss a bug fix or an update, as CIXReader will let you know when an update is available.
