Who would be interested in a chat box on the forum (I know we had one before the move to the new forum but I removed it because it didn't work correctly)

Let me know what you think and maybe we will give it a go :handgestures-thumbdown: :handgestures-thumbup:

As long as it is smaller than the one before and ONLY on the Front page. 8-)

Scrolling down every thread or message should not be needed and is unpleasant
Maybe you can run another test for a week or so and see what members think about it :occasion-snowman:

Good points, I also hated the way the last one looked.
This one would be at the bottom of the page and I will keep the height as small as possible :teasing-wedgie:

I've always thought a chatbox is a good idea, so long as it isn't obnoxious. Imo the one on my forum is perfect, but to clarify on the things i'd like to see:

- Make it big enough to see, but not so big that it takes up the entire page
- Include a log in / log out feature (so you could be on the forum without connected to the chatbox)
- Have it when a new message is posted in the chatbox, your screen doesn't readjust to focus on the box again
- Have it ONLY appear on the homepage, and not in any sub-section or thread

Yes please! A chatbox would make the board more personal when members talk to other members. It would be great talking to other members in real time with the instant chat! :mrgreen:

I will soon be giving the hole site a face lift, when that's done I'm going to give the chat box a go :D
