andy Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 We're proposing to add live chat functionality to the site. A product I believe suitable has been installed and needs a bit of testing and feedback. Notes: It's not had any kind of custom skinning done to match the rest of the site yet until I suss whether it meets the needs or not. It's integrated with the Forums in so far as it knows your username and will automatically log you in. As it is designed to integrate with several differen Forum brands it doesn't carry stuff like Profile information over. It's only username and password it recognises from the Forums. I've created a few rooms, but it is possible for users to create their own temporary chat rooms e.g. Aberdeen planning a meet, Glasgow Santa Cruise etc. Temporary Chat Rooms are deleted 1 hour after the last post is made. It is possible to create private password protected rooms, but Admins can enter those rooms invisibly. For those familiar with IRC, it supports many of the IRC commands. Click on the Help link for more details From within the Chat system it is possible to initiate a private chat with an individual. Yes, many have MSN, but some don't and many don't have other's MSN details. Feel free to give it a bash and feed back. http://forums.sidc.co.uk/chat Link to comment

thefastone Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Ive noticed that it can be a little Glitchy mind, just from time to time... just little things like It might repost a comment about 5 times in a row, or everytime someone posts a comment the screen will shudder, whilst your trying to read it.... but that should be easy fixed? perhaps when you make it into a full version...?
