chatbox

just fyi...

It can be turned off in user cp, edit options.

~1~ · 09-04-2009, 06:12 PM

Maybe later, they'll tell us how to turn it on...

I heard if you jiggle its balls a little.

~1~ · 09-04-2009, 06:28 PM

roach brought it up, but since he did, I think I'll give you all a user review...

It sucks.

Now to be fair, I'll tell you why.

You have to refresh the chat to see what other people say, so if someone without my loose morals and editing abilities lurks about, they see nothing. It looks like, well... This

I like the idea, the bugs need work, this is one. We need it to autorefresh or something so we can see who is talking to whom, not just a bunch of scattered sentences that don't seem to relate to anything.

You all were worried about the chat detracting from the posts on the board, if this is the final release, you can put your fears to rest.

**SageTree** · 09-04-2009, 07:03 PM

Thanks for your honest opinion #1

~1~ · 09-04-2009, 07:20 PM

It just needs a little tweakin'...

**testclear.com** · 09-04-2009, 08:05 PM

It's a work in progress.

Oceans 80 · 09-04-2009, 10:50 PM

i just got to the site and it's autorefreshing now...

the downside is, it's autorefreshing the whole page instead of just the chatbox...

RE will get it under control though, i have faith

**ResidualEnvy** · 09-05-2009, 08:16 AM

It should auto refresh every 30 seconds. It will stop refreshing if you don't chat within 5 minutes.

~1~ · 09-05-2009, 11:09 AM

Meh...

I think maybe a new version would be better.

Maybe a little more irc like?

*ducks*

Flamingnun · 09-05-2009, 11:12 AM

Yeah might as well just use the forums if it takes that long to refresh.

**Bearsy** · 09-05-2009, 11:51 AM

Why not a chat "room" just an AJAX or irc box that opens in in a new page.

al-Mu'akhkhir · 09-05-2009, 01:47 PM

im pretty sure they have java irc clients... that could be integrated pretty easily.

Makros_01 · 09-05-2009, 04:56 PM

this might be a bit fangled and hard.. im not savvy with programming pages:
but it could be a strip down the side with a tab. click the tab it slides out to cover the forum.
or you could just start up an Mirc page

**Bearsy** · 09-06-2009, 12:45 AM

After using it a lot tonight, I really like it and I hope it stays, just in an improved version.

Hooka talked me through some shit and it wouldn't have happened without it.

So this feature has my vote 100%

al-Mu'akhkhir · 09-06-2009, 02:16 AM

i aint gonna lie i've turned off the chat box on my account and I ain't turning it on until I've heard word from someone reputable that it isn't scrotastic anymore.

CBCOOLEST · 09-06-2009, 09:10 AM

The ideea is very good! As I have heard it is still in test phase. The main problem with it is the refresh time. Its refresh time is to long so the chat is not going veyr smooth.
Because I know most of you are busy I have taken the time to search some things. Here are some suggestions:
1. vB Shoutbox 1.0 - vBulletin.org Forum
2. BVShoutbox FULLL - vBulletin.org Forum
3. Shoutbox for vb 3.5.4 - vBulletin.org Forum
4. [AJAX] vBShout v2.0 - vBulletin.org Forum
5. Meebo Me | meebo
6. Olate - VB - Chat Room - Part 1
Hope they can help!
