It's a border. It's called 'border'. You move the border. Not a window.

It’s a private chat. It’s called ‘team chat’. You chat with your team. Not read others.

Technically it's a child control window of the MFC window
All buttons in Windows are windows too (lol)
Dec 30 2013 23:59:44 <StepS> windowed mode isn't the only thing you need about frontend
Dec 30 2013 23:59:49 <StepS> you need it to be actually bigger
Dec 31 2013 00:00:13 <StepS> it actually is very small on my 15-inch full HD screen
Dec 31 2013 00:00:25 <StepS> while running at 640x480 or stretched mode makes it fuzzy
Dec 31 2013 00:00:44 <StepS> this problem has been around since the Worms Armageddon's release and no one has even tried to beat it

Well technically yes. JFYI OS/2 Presentation Manager uses the same idiom. ;)

This is because you use a snooper. By the way, no matter what one exactly -- every currently existing W:A snooper behaves the same.

The subject "tutorial" with language mistakes won't actually close the host, i. e. make it disappear from the list (even when hosting directly using W:A), it will only limit the maximum number of people able to join. E. g. if you've limited it to four, the fourth person that tries to join, will get the "no more room in the game" message window.

A solution for this problem is going to be introduced in TWS 3.0. Stay tuned.

This is wrong!

Great Snooper closes the host! :D But I know people actually don't know that it exists :(

ProSnooper closed the host automatically, but the implementation was poor, so it broke around 3.6.30.0's release (when Game IDs were reintroduced). Most of the time it closed the host too early.
