I believe this would be a great feature especially on dodgy pc's that crash all the time

:) Not to jump in and spoil your fun, but he probably means "recently connected hub history."

Personally, it's a good idea, but if the motivation is that your computer crashes all the time, you really need to fix your computer, not ask for more features from the programs you use. (Justify it though another way first.)

i have two responses to the replies i have got

thanks alot about the fix my computer idea i will just get my magic wand out to fix it

and just because i want to remember an hub for uploading don't mean i want to personally type every hub in favorites

I find the request section disapointing because for such a great program it's forum is so full of Critics who have nothing better too do than mock other peoples idea's or is it a growing trend to state the obvious in threads.

Maybe like use log? It's not THAT hard. And suggest it instead of flaming - I've lost track of loads of cool hubs too - mostly due to forgetting the Adding to Favorites. That's fixed if you run a log.

Sorry if my answer seemed hostile (I was speaking of my brain crashes, not yours). Besides, as long as I can remember NMDC, I was quite pleased with the recently visited hub log in it.

If you think my reply is hostile, I'm sorry.

It is a worthwhile feature suggestion (and mentioned before [it's fine to duplicate]),

As for my statement of the obvious, fixing your computer will both be quicker and a better fix than waiting on a "recently connected servers" feature.

This doesn't mean that your suggestion won't be heeded or added eventually. The forum is mostly populated by helpers, not DC++ patchers (though I am both).

/fav isn't saved if the program crashes I think anyway

Well, 0.241 added a lot more saves over 0.24. Unfortunately, it doesn't save at all for some people, and autoconnect will never save.
