Since many users thought that this would be a good idea, I quickly set up a chat where people could discuss about the games or whatever. Please visit the test forum and click on the chat icon on the top menu.
This is in beta test right now so I'm not sure it'll be permanent. Let me know your views. Thanks!
Michael

Mike, That's a nice addition to the forum. I like it a lot. The best feature is that all messages are saved. I hope many of the users will visit it once in a while! Keep up the good work. Thanks! sAner

I have the option of resetting what's written in there but if I leave it this way you can chat with anyone even if you're not logged at the same time.. Michael

Hey Mike,
I really like that, especially now not a lot of people visit the chat yet.

Hmm.. although I've seen people logging in there, I've only heard from you Pieter. I want to hear opinions from others too.

Hey Mike, The chatterbox is cool! Way better than the first chatroom. Btw: can I also get a color for my nickname? sAner

The new chatterbox is up for everyone. I hope you like it. I'll keep checking it when I'm online so if you have anything to ask me during the time you see me logged, please ask it in there (pm can work equally well though :smile:)

Hi Michael,
for the first time, I was online with another person on the chat...but there was a little problem. The reply from the other didn't come through right away, I had to press that arrow thingie (which refreshes the page) every time. It makes it hard to have an easy conversation. It would be great if that could be fixed. Other from that, the chat is a great idea. We just need some more people on it.

Ah, it can't be done, sorry! It doesn't refresh by itself. As I said it's just a chatterbox. People can leave messages there for anyone to see and reply but it's not like a regular chat - it should be difficult to discuss in real time. I can put back the old chat system if you wish which had a user list and was updated constantly - this irritated some users though..
I've discovered a very nice chat system in java but it's not compatible with all browsers.. :sad:

oh, ok. I thought the purpose was to have a real time chat, but if that's not the goal, then it's ok as it is. And since there are never really many (if any) people on the chat at the same time, it doesn't matter.
Greetings, laurens

I replaced the chatterbox with a regular java chat client. If you have any problems with it, let me know. I might try another one or two before I decide which one to leave here permanently. Things you should know: 1. Messages posted in there aren't saved anywhere and people who login later can't see what went on earlier. 2. It's like IRC but there are no actions and I'm not sure smilies are supported either. 3. You can only use one nickname (sorry Paul ). I'll try to find one which has no restrictions but it's difficult considering that I'm looking for a free client! Michael

The new chat is super, Mike. I just had a great conversation with Bubbabomb (Kevin) and it worked superbly. I hope you'll stick to this one and I hope more people will enter the chat at the same time.
