superi Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superi Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 1) Already happens On IP.Chat? Doesn't happen on my installation. :| How do you enable that? :smile: 3) If you open in a popup, you should be able to resize the window I don't like popups. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 There is a sounds toggle button in the IP.Chat interface. http://screencast.com/t/jX9M4vp5 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?

superi Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 There is a sounds toggle button in the IP.Chat interface.http://screencast.com/t/jX9M4vp5 There is no sound even if the sound is turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I get a "fwhip" type sound for new messages with sounds enabled. :unsure: Do you hear the "user has entered room/left room" sounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia999 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 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).

changeindia Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 indicator for typing would be great :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia999 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 And the other points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambar Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superi Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
