Pop-Up Chat window need to be Responsive, Fluid, Dynamic

[Ocean West]

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

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.
