New Chat

[LinuxHorn]

The new chat is running! If you look on the bottom of the screen, you should notice a silver bar. You should be able to chat with anybody who's online. We are in our testing phase to see how the new server handles the load. There are other features such as games and mobile chat. Please chat away!

Let us know if you have any issues with the software. As usual, this is your site too so suggestions are always welcome. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

If you choose not to use the chat software, simply click the double down arrows on the bottom right corner of the screen. This should log you out.

Interesting.

I see that and I love the new feature. One thing though, the "who's online" list keeps popping up periodically on my screen.

Thanks alonghorn72. We will take a look at it!

Point of clarification also - the Who's Online feature will only show those individuals that you are "friends with" now - not everyone.

You can become friends with someone by visiting their profile and requesting this.

We will be tweaking this tonight and tomorrow but feel free to play around with all of the functions.

Hmmmm. Let's try it

I'd like to be able to see everyone on line. Hard to make "friends" with 3800 people

Way too many names pop up when that happens.

I just want a bell to ring or something so I know when people with interesting things to say are online. Shouldn't be too hard, right, y'all?

So the list is just chat only and not affecting the main page?

 

[Peoples Elbow]

allsome. good job. will be a really great tool to have.

Tried it out. Nice.

Couple of questions on chat settings.

Could a maximize button be added next to the minimize to mimic windows?

Could there be a setting for Who's Online where each person chooses their preference between X amount of their friends, random users, or a combo? Maybe have staff show up for everyone.

Good luck with the upgrades.

We will work through and see all of the settings that are available for you guys. Thanks a million for the input!
