I've added a chat bar to the forum (bottom right corner). How do you like it?
This is magnifique!
I like this!!! :rose:
Ok, I am chat ignorant. I like the idea as I hopped on for a second and saw two questions and was able to quickly help two people. HOWEVER.... when I logged out the chat was still there and I could not figure out how to make it go away. I kept hitting the little Xs and it kept coming back. I also don't want to chat with people all the time. How do I be on MR and not be seen as available to chat??? I mean, if I can help someone great or if I need a question answered no problem... but I'm not the chat type of person... It's too hard for me sometimes to keep track of the conversations and how I am speaking to... I don't even do FaceBook or Skype. Maybe with time this old dog can learn some new tricks... :)
I like it.
I love it! Thank you admins!!:bouncing:
It's easy to turn off if you don't want to use it. Click the cogwheel icon in the window that lists all the users. Then select "Turn off". The chat will remain off even if you revisit the forum.Quote:

Another point is that the chat now causes the phone to reload the forum page quite frequently and this in turn leads to repainting the forum page totally every few seconds. (It repaints the whole page not only the chat sub-window). This makes reading the forum posts quite boring.
I turned it off for mobile.
WOW
When I tried to launch the chat its told me = Chat full.. please upgrade this and gave me a link on chat's site.. о_О
Ahhh. it is a two step process here... you have to click on the green plus sign first and that opens up yet another chat window and in THAT window click on the cogwheel and turn off the chat.. got it.Quote:

Any way of just not having your name as being online?
Is it possible to have a blog of the chat?
I'm always alone in the new chat. :(
If you turn the chat off, your name shouldn't be seen online and nobody can chat with you.Quote:

It's disabled on mobile because CoffeeCup reported that it didn't work well on mobile devices.
However it was disabled I can still see it on my mobile with "opera mobile" browser.
I use phone too. Nokia + opera mobile. But I don't see chat...Quote:

Is there a slight possibility that chat for mobile devices ( e.g. Ipad), will return?? Was extremely nice and comfortable. Don't like to work on the big wardrobe (desktop) anymore...... :)
Chat for mobiles is back. How does it work?
iOS 4.2.1 both Safari and Skyfire, the chat buttons are super-imposed over the text about 20 lines from the top of the page. Selecting the cog wheel to turn off the chat locks it up forcing a restart of the browser.
a few rules for using Chat Rooms
Internet chat rooms can be home to some of the most exciting conversations taking place today, but it is important to remember that things are not always what they seem. Someone can claim to be tall, dark, and handsome even if they're not. Indeed, some visitors to chat rooms are men masquerading as women, women masquerading as men, married people posing as singles, young posing as old, old posing as young. Also note that many chat rooms are filled with people who spend more time listening than chatting. You may find yourself in a compelling conversation with two or three other people, but five or six people beyond that may be listening. And because chat rooms are public places, others can save and print your conversations. The same applies to messaging: be careful how much personal information you reveal while on-line. Also, be careful in setting up your personal profile for your instant messaging account. All participants in the messaging system can see this information--do not post any information you want to keep private. Finally, as many messaging systems allow file swapping among computers, make sure you have current anti-virus software installed.
