Razzile Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hello all My community basically revolves around IP.Chat, being used by many all day, every day so I would just like to thank invision for creating it. As my site uses the chat so much, I asked my community what they would like to see added. Here are the main suggestions. IRC Style commands These are probably the most requested addition for IP.Chat. I think it would be sweet if it was included in the next iteration of IP.Chat. There could be commands like /kick, /ban, /message <user> etc. Group Chats What I mean by this, is there are a number of different "groups" available to join in chat, each with their own chat. think of it like private chat but with multiple people. Think of it like rooms on an irc server. It would be even better if more groups could be created (maybe even with an irc style command) and also be toggled "public" or "private". Public meaning anybody can view and join the group. Support for BBCode (and other "codes") For example, the ability to use colored text, or any other assortment of BBCodes, just like the shoutbox does. It could be argued that this could be abused by members so you could make a toggle in the admin CP to disable BBCode in chat or maybe limit to certain groups. File Sharing My community is very much based off file sharing, as are many other communities. I think it would be a great addition if a user could send a file to another person in chat, it would save a lot of time trying to upload to a file host. Voice Chat intergration This could revolutionize IP.Chat in my opinion. The ability to actually talk to people is much more enjoyable than typing. Again, this could be abused, or just may not be wanted by the community owner, so an ACP toggle should be added. Also, if combined with the "group chat" suggestion, voice chat could be toggled in each groups specific settings because I am sure if this was implemented, many people would not like voice chat on the main group. "Buzzing" if somebody is AFK, you can "buzz" them and they will hear a (unique) sound to say somebody wants them. Quite a small suggestion but it could be very useful. user "read" notification again, only a small suggestion to show if auser has read your private chat (or group chat if groups are implemented). I hope that the developers at invision take all of these suggestions into account when developing the next revision of IP.Chat, and if you have any of your own feel free to post them here. -Razzile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izaya Orihara Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I like most of your ideas :) I do hope we get some upgraded features for IP chat when 4.0 is released! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinistra Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I would like to see the chat be hosted on your own website but I doubt that will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canal World Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Group Chats What I mean by this, is there are a number of different "groups" available to join in chat, each with their own chat. think of it like private chat but with multiple people. Think of it like rooms on an irc server. It would be even better if more groups could be created (maybe even with an irc style command) and also be toggled "public" or "private". Public meaning anybody can view and join the group. This is a massive one for my, get more the 20 people in the chat room and it grinds to a holt as you can see who is talking about what, huge bottle neck for a larger forum. I like the idea of voice chat well, but groups cant be that hard to add, we had it before way back when before the code was bought in house.

Alucard0134 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Also another one When a moderator bans a user while he is also in chat the user can stay there while banned until he leaves the chat. I believe this can be fixed by the web server making request to the chat server then sending it back to the web server to deliver to the client. However bandwidth usage may be a bottleneck there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael R Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I personally would love to somehow incorporate video. Maybe Google Hangouts or Skype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia999 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 For years, the IP.Chat is minimalist. I very much hope to 4.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzile Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 I love all the ideas that you all have suggested for this, I especially like the video idea! I do hope that these ideas (or at least some of them) are implemented in IP Chat for 4.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pking100 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I would like to see an Opt In for the Admin to automatically receive a transcript of the Chat via email. This would be very useful for our Community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I would like to see an Opt In for the Admin to automatically receive a transcript of the Chat via email. This would be very useful for our Community. That would result in massive e-mails for very active communities. Optional internal logging, however, could be a good idea if this is not already available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert H Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Great ideas. Group chat or the ability to set up different labeled chat rooms seems like such a basic feature. It seems that IP.Chat has been largely untouched since the first release of IPB 3. I hope they add some basic and useful features with 4.0.
