1. Sound notification for new chat messages.
2. Embedded pictures and youtube-videos.
3. Customizable chat window size.
4. Forum avatars also in chat room in smaller size.

On IP.Chat?

Doesn't happen on my installation. :| How do you enable that? :smile:

I don't like popups. :smile:

There is a sounds toggle button in the IP.Chat interface.

I'm not sure what you are wanting to resize if it's not the popup window. If you want to resize your browser window, your browser gives you controls for that already. Or do you mean the chat scrollable area? If so, why do you need to resize this?

There is no sound even if the sound is turned on.

I get a "fwhip" type sound for new messages with sounds enabled. :unsure: Do you hear the "user has entered room/left room" sounds?

I get a sound for new messages too.

My suggests for IP.Chat are:

• clickable usernames for easy insertion of username of other member
• changeable font colors (by users)
• changeable font size (by users)
• a indicator for typing - a small keypad that show that other user is writing (and not sleep)

I read that you (Brandon) don't like changeable colors and changeable font size, but my users are differently ;) (and they know AddonChat).

indicator for typing would be great :D

An indicator for typing would be nearly pointless. Firstly, that would mean every keystroke would force a ping to be sent to the server which would probably produce much more traffic than the servers could handle, but setting that aside, Chat only checks for a new message once every few (2-3) seconds. By the time you saw the indicator on your end, the submitter probably would have already sent their chat, but then your chat instance wouldn't know that until the next time it checks.

IP.Chat is a browser-based chat solution using Javascript, HTML, etc. It is not going to function quite the same a computer program would, and can't quite accomplish all of the same things unfortunately (at least in a manner that is resource efficient). It is hard balancing these needs sometimes.

And the other points?

clickable usernames could potentially be useful, although tricky given that clicking the usernames presently opens a menu. The other suggestions I'm not a fan of, as I've stated in the past.

As I said in the tracker (and was directed to the feedback forum), my users primarily used chat to show each other current photos of their horses, and the cries on switching to IP.Chat were long and bitter, because IP.Chat doesn't support the img tag. Now my chat room is empty. Make it admin-controlled if necessary, but give us an option to use the img tag.

What is the point of IP.Chat? The Shoutbox application is better. :) It has all those things I listed. The avatar size could be customizable though. :)
