Chatroom Like Facebook Suggestion

[doomhammer99]

Suggestion from me,

Change the Chatroom to a Chatbox?! Maybe.
or

Hey doomhammer99,
What would the difference be? That there is no main chat room or that the chat follows you everywhere you go on the site?

The difference is I don't have to open another tab.

I see. Well this is not really a simple modification. First of all the chat would have to load messages on every page load so you can continue your conversation across page loads. I guess I could use stuff like browser local storage, a new HTML 5 thing. I would also need to code a UI like the facebook one. I think the idea is good.

 

[doomhammer99]

What? My idea is good? :3

Man, it IS good. Would add huge amount of interactivity into the hive.

Edit: Oh, and you're fucking straight man, keep up with suggesting straight stuff.

 

[doomhammer99]

Ralle, are you working on it??

 

[Fire Eagle]

Your idea is good.

 

[SA Dashie]

It would keep the interactions of the hive more smooth and easy for users to use as well. And if the forum pages where to be able to be refreshed automatically please be able to leave an option to turn it of. ^^

Ralle,

if you don't want to use your time for programming this, you could check this out.

Or this one, which is free for non-comercial use.

 

[Ralle]

This is not a priority, but a cool idea. Maybe some day.

 

[doomhammer99]

When is that Someday??

 

[Ralle]

When I am done with more important stuff on this site.

 

[doomhammer99]

OK..Good Luck!

You can't expect Ralle to add something like that very easily, it's a feature that's cool but not a necessity.

Then again, Ralle is a programmer, so he will do the unnecessary things first, then proceed with the necessities. lol

lol

okay

The Hive. Is not. Facebook.

 

[Ralle]

The Hive. Is not. Facebook.

Of course not. But I don't see why not give people the feature to attach the chat anywhere on the site if they want it. It does not really change the values of the site or anything like that.

Maybe a good idea - could make it easier to catch certain people - but I don't really see a strict need, since mostly one can just open the chat in one tab and go about on Hive and other places at the same time.

Also if implemented some day, it would be nice to have a disable button or something - in order to avoid loading it every time on changes a page.

But kudos to Ralle for being willing to consider implementing something like that.
