A workaround with sidebar-widget..?

I think the trial-period is kind of finished, but @CodingJungle might give a better answer. His site is https://codingjungle.com/

We use trial version of Babble. It works well for us, and it will be updated later on..

It's an app.. not plugin..

Yes - but wouldn't it be even better if IPS support push on mobile?

I find it a kind of confusing that the buttons (Condensed - Expanded) in the activity stream has changed place from 4.1.19 to 4.2. Is that intended?

I agree. Is it possible to set it up so that users that don't wan't the chat - don't get any notifications from it? I just wan't those members that is active chatters to have that "chat-bar" if I ever decide to alter solution..

Did you check

I will keep that as an option. I'm currently running Babble on both my sites that uses chat. I'm just a little concerned about the future there...

I notice that 2 has answered that they use BlaB. I can see on their website that they support IPboard 4. Did anyone test out the pro version? How well does it integrate with 4.1.x?

Yes - I will use Babble myselve. I'm depended on Codingjungles trial. It is working really nice. My users does use it and we are aware that theres som annoying bugs, but we can live with it until next version..

Facebook messenger are just a timethief. I don't use it. The only browser that support reading messages from the webpage on mobile is Opera - hurray! I guess it is just a matter of days before facebook closes that option also. Before it was possible also on Chrome. How would I explain that to 30-40 people on my site that are active users and chatters? This is for us a core functionality and the basis for all our gatherings/meetings. If I just remove the chat many people will use gruop chat in facebook instead. Actually a lot of people are using facebook chat instead of forumchat. A loss for us and our activity. These people are used to oldtime IRC, and like it simple.. It is only 2 more weeks before the chat closes and it is a difficult situation for many of us..

Thanks for your informative post. Yea- I will also use Babble I hope. But I did not manage to get it working on my own server. I tried everything, and my co-admin has to do all the work with the server, so I'm in between there. So I'm totally dependable on getting @CodingJungle trialversion up and going again. I certainly are hoping his new version without node.js will be a good solution. Kind of surprising that 15 adminowners still have not found a solution. Did any of you consider using a simple htmlbased IRC setup?

I have an open ticket with:" Someone will be in contact as soon as possible." That's 10 days ago.. Seems like patience is needed..

I have several topics with more than 20 000 replies. The longest one is 30120 posts. I really hate those "cafe" topics, but it seems the members (some) like them, and it is hard to get rid of. Some like them..
