Improvements for the Chat Function

Vain,

Just a thought...Without a way to IM someone it's exceedingly difficult to get a chat going. Any chance of creating an Instant Message function or an "invitation to chat?"

When I want to try to get people into the chatroom I fire off personal messages to any people I see signed on at that time. Seems to usually work. :)

One suggestion for the chat... think we could get rid of that auto away thing?

I can increase the time delay before it shows you as away.....would that work? :)

The chat thingy isn't really intended as a full-scale chat-room - it's possible to implement one that is but it won't be integrated with the forum which has its own draw-backs. I currently have no idea just how often the chat-room is used and by whom so if you guys want to provide that detail as part of this thread then it'll be great - I can then get an idea of what might be needed :) Also, list your biggest problem with this version :)

There's been a crowd of people in chat the last 2 Sat nights. :D

It's been a lot of fun. :D

If you make any changes, Vain, just a reminder that I can't use any chat set-up that requires Java - at least now right now. Hopefully that will change eventually, but for now that's how it stands. :)

Improvements for the Chat Function:

Having one that functions would be a good place to start.

I finally got my chat-box to work without it crashing IE, but the lag time is pretty bad...don't spose the immortal Vain can fix that? :?:

Vain's going to update it very soon. Which should be good, I've been waiting my whole life for this.

Ur-Vile is leaving to pursue his studies? How much more study does a loremaster need?

Before you know it, we'll be deferring to him as Dr. Ur-Vile. :)

I'll be going to Uni in sep. Depending on whether I can get into a room with internet, my activity here may go down a little. Of course, if I'm really lucky I may actually get a social life, heh. *is never gonna happen*


So Vain is gonna update it soon, you say? I don't use chat much, but I wouldn't mind seeing it improved during my occasional chats...
