Tay Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) The situation: Until IPB 4.1's chat app overhaul goes live, we're stuck with a somewhat sub-standard experience if we keep with IPB's chat app. Thus, I uploaded an alternate chat app for us to compare and see if we like. IPB 4 Chat App: http://forums.fuwanovel.net/chat/Alternate Chat app: http://forums.fuwanovel.net/chatbox Please take a look at both and give me some feedback about what you like/dislike in each! My take: IPB's app is superior. We just need to wait for the implementation of re-scaling, pop-up, avatars and BBCode support, and it'll be swell, again.

Tay Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Regarding the experimental new chatbox app:It has very little customization options on purpose, apparently: no way to implement BBCode, no way to change username colors, no "who is in the chat" user lists, no private conversationsIt's the only other viable chat alternative to IPB's app right nowIt CAN be resizedYou can edit your messagesChat mods have crazy powers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12kami Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 we cant combine both of them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XionsProphecy Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Can't we make our own chat client? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 we cant combine both of them ?Nope. Not possible. The idea of this thread is to see if you so overwhelmingly prefer the second, new one to the IPB app that we use it, instead, until the IPB app is upgraded. But, no, there is no way to combine them or their features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Just to reiterate: The plan ISN'T to keep both chat apps. I just wanted to let everybody see what's out there so we can pick one. The IPB chat app WILL get updated someday, and when it is we'll go back to using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zodai Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I feel like perhaps the main sticking points are the lack of avatars (assumed to be temporary) and the size of the messages compared to the size of the chatbox. Maybe have things take up a tad less space or increase the vertical size of the chatbox in-general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Me personally have no problem with the small chat, but like everyone said already the lack of avatar is displeasing to say the least~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowtsuku Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Experimental one looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segai Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 As long as we can get avatars and possibly message editing on the IPB chat, that'd be my preferred one. Tay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Took the alternate offline. It wasn't getting much use and was, for the most part, panned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
