For those of you that have seen it...

~1~ · 09-10-2009, 09:36 AM

At the top of the forums home page, there is a chatbox that has been installed so we can communicate with each other in real time, this is a really cool idea.

However...

I'm sure alot of you folks have looked at it and went, huh, neat but no one ever seems to be chatting.

This particular version has to be refreshed to see who else is chatting, unlike the IRC or IM's where the messages post automatically, it will autorefresh after 30 seconds but that seems to be about 27 seconds longer than most keep interest in the thing. You can avoid this by typing in your comments in short bursts like I do, its annoying but every time you hit the enter button you can see whats been said without waiting for a refresh 28 seconds down the road.

So, to recap...

If you're looking to have a cohesive conversation with folks, refresh often!

I agree with you 100%.

Can't just open a new window for the forums once you've got the chat open?

Why? Its so much easier to have it on the window itself at all times while on Yahooka. Shhssssh man its to give the mods something to do at least...

Or you could just place it in a separate frame
