10:17:27 - Mic: pvagner: hi! I've got a question: are the modes of a user (operator/half-op/voice/..) accessible on the participant list of IRC channels?
10:19:21 - Mic: We have icons on the list items, maybe we need a descriptive label too (like for bug 953853 (bio 412))?
10:21:02 - pvagner: Mic: I think they are not.
10:21:27 - pvagner: Mic: actually I even did not know something like this is there.


pvagner suggested then:

10:22:20 - pvagner: Mic: I don't know whether I'm too old-fashioned but I would suggest labelling the images using classic text style indicators such as @ + and others signs.

I would prefer not doing this, especially as these images apply to any protocol.

On the behalf of Florian:
Closing bugs related to the Instantbird UI as WONTFIX, as the development of the standalone chat client Instantbird has stopped. Instantbird users are encouraged to migrate to Thunderbird. The user interface of instant messaging in Thunderbird will feel familiar, as the Thunderbird IM support started as a fork of Instantbird.
