chopin Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 As you can see, we had this discussion before. I am convinced there is absolutely no way we can make the chatrooms work with the shoutbox readily available. That's why I never bothered to fix the chatroom skins, although the chatroom is an awesome feature. Popular demand states they want the shoutbox to remain intact, so for now, I can't really do much. Most people are very resistant to change :P I am not even sure the chat schedules will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob stole my cookie Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 In all honesty, I doubt they will. We had schedueld chat times before and it worked... for about two months. ...as much as i hate to say it.... why not have a trial run of removing the shoutbox to encourage chat room activity? Maybe then, even if you bring the box back, people will use it. :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopin Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Today in the shoutbox/chat, I started to say the sentence "how do you feel about remov...." and before I even finished that sentence, I almost had my head taken off. Are you trying to get me murdered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James H. Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 At least put a big ... well, not BIG, but ... obvious link perhaps ON the Shoutbox, between "Shoutbox (Hide/Show)" and "View Archived Shouts", right there in the middle. Maybe even (read: not necessarily) set off in a different colour. Yeller? Having a link to the Chatroom IN the Shoutbox would surely help. Also... is there any chance the Chatroom could either be made smaller or of variable height? I hate how tall it is... I have to scroll up and down to type, see the most recent post, and what users are in what rooms... it's VERY annoying. And before you ask, yes I have my screen to max resolution. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to get me murdered? Well... you can use me as a meat-sheild to fend off the angry mob... :rolleyes: Okay, so removing the box even temporarily would be like removing the FFA all over again but I like the idea of a more visible link to the chatroom; It just took me almost a minute to find a link to it. Is there any way you could link the two chat programs? Replace the shoutbox with a mini-version of the global chatroom so that whatever happens in one happens in the other? Or have at least a view window into the global chatroom so that users could see the convo in there and go to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
