New chat system!
Posted: Sun Sep 24, 2023 11:21 pm
A new chat system has been added to the forum. The chat system is fully integrated with the forum. Your username in chat is the same as your user in the forum.
To access the new chat room, simply click on the "CHAT ROOM" link, just like always. This will open the chat in a new tab for you. The link to the old chatzy chat room has been moved under the archive section as a backup.
The chat itself is easy to use, just enter your text, and press enter or click/tap the arrow to send your message. If you want to send a direct message in chat, you can click on the arrow in the upper left corner to open the side panel where the list of currently online users is shown. Then click on the user to open a chat window with them. All of your active DM tabs and the general chat tab will appear below the chat, allowing you to switch between them. The chat function also appears as an icon in the lower right corner of your screen when you're browsing the forum. You can click on this icon to access your chat DMs and the "General" chat room while you're browsing the forum.
Click on the "General chat" room to join us in chat.
If you want to pop the chat window out so you can move it around, click the arrow next to the chat room name and then click Pop Out Chat Room to open it in a new browser window.
