Chat Functionality

[Greg]

Chat has been removed due to Invision Power Board not supporting the functionality anymore.  I have looked into different options (mostly paid options), and I'd like to know if everyone wants chat functionality implemented again.

Note: the third-party chat plugins I've been looking at have a great deal more bells and whistles, so if you didn't like the original chat feature because it was barebones, any new chatroom would be considerably more feature-rich.

Post editing would be far more useful.

I've moved post editing from 30 min to 24 hours - that should be more than enough time to correct any errors.

However, that's a different topic, lets keep this thread on the topic of chat functionality.

I want the Chat feature. 

The Chat feature permits members to discuss moderation and technical issues. 

[OftenWrong]

Yes, because I miss those long late-night chats with Charles, into the wee hours of the morning.

Ok, looks like we have a tie - so I'm going to break the tie with my vote - I'm for having chat functionality. 

I will look into the logistics and cost of adding it back into the forums.

Thanks for participating everyone!

I'll be posting another questions (relating to the forum functionality) shortly!

It seems redundant to me. A simple general conversation forum thread could accomplish the same thing, without the hassle.

How did this jump over here? Why did you bounce this to this thread, Tostb?

LOL, I don't have a clue... I posted a question in a new topic and drifted here out of curiosity and saw this quote box and "PRESTO" here it is!

I did the same thing the other day and posted a new thread in the wrong area.

This site needs a "how to" section...

Actually members input works good
