I have posted a request over a year ago and haven't had much in the way of any assistance
even put in a trouble ticket but it's not a support issue...

however it is broken - since if i fixit for the desktop it breaks it on the iPad

http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/364842-popout-chat-making-the-lists-dynamic/?view=getnewpost

This app has become ancient.

I'm with you guys on this. The chat room software is nice but it could be outstanding with a responsive window. When you get quite a few people chatting at once it's difficult to keep up with it in the small vertical space allowed.

Can ANYONE please - provide assistance making the popup chat window fluid/dynamic.

well - i got talking to a friend of mine and we did a screen sharing session and with in a few minutes he debugged this issue.

and added a few items to the ipchat.css - guess he will the the bottle of wine...
