Scott Richmond Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 The 'Recent Status Updates' window on the homepage of the forum is currently being used to chat to one another. I don't think everyone realises that they're actually changing the status summary of their avatar. Point is, looks like a real-time chat function could be useful and might server the community better than this sudo-chat window is right now.

Maybe we can get that on the front page too? *shrugs* Quote Programmer, Modeller Intel Core i7 930 @ 3.5GHz | GeForce 480 GTX | 6GB DDR3 RAM | Windows 7 Premium x64 Visual Studio 2008 | Photoshop CS3 | Maya 2009 Website: http://srichnet.info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Richmond Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 All I'm pointing out there is that people really seem to like the little sudo-chat window on the home page - Except thats the status update function. Its the wrong use. *shrugs* I jsut thought it'd be a better way to communicate between each other. For example - Remove the recent status updates window and see if you can replace it with a live log of the chat and present a button for people to push - "Join chat".

Maybe the people chatting dont want it visible to all ?

carlb Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 i say i would happy chat in the chat room but what is i say stay in there i would not want it showing on the front page or in status section. so no i do not want that part changed thanks Quote Asus ROG STRIX B350-F GAMMING AMD Ryzen 7 1700x 32 gb ddr4 15 TB raid 5 HD Nvidia EVGA 1060GTX Win10 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 The other problem (which doesn't affect the status window), is that you can fit more people in a dustbin than you can in the chat room... Although it's soon being expanded apparently. Maybe then it will be the size of a wheelie-bin... Quote LE Version: 2.50 (Eventually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Richmond Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Theres a limit to how many people can use the chat?

Mumbles Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Unless I've lost the plot, it's soon being upgraded to 20, currently it's 5... although I've seen 6 people in there quite a few times Quote LE Version: 2.50 (Eventually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Richmond Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 But why a limit anyway? That seems utterly stupid.

Mumbles Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Presumably Josh has to pay for the data that is sent to and from his server, so perhaps he doesn't want a big bill...

VicToMeyeZR Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I am sure it has to do with the product. Its probably a pay to upgrade feature for the IP.Board.
