Test Chatroom

Post by Naggie »

As some may have noticed, we have a new link among our navigation buttons (Shadow Skin Only - So far...). It is a new chat applet I'm trying. It is very similar to the one we currently have, but looks a bit better. Of course, we will skin it if possible (I still think the grey is better than the blue and white). We are also able to set a background image and change it whenever we want.

But the big question is; do you who usually uses the chat like this new one, or do you prefer the old one? Don't look at the colors so much as we will work on it later.

I can't say I've ever used the chat properly (no one wants to talk to me! :tear: ) but I think this new one is better than the old one. If you can get the skins changed and a background image then that'd be great IMO

The background image is something I can set via my admin control panel. I just need a good pic :)
The colours on the rest is something I need to dig into the java appelt stuff and fiddle with to change. I think it is possible, it'll just take a while and if people don't like it, it is wasted time. Thus the question :)

I'm glad you like it, Belthir.

It is nice, Possibly Yak can do some sort of image with "Asrai.org" so it doesn't obscure too much of the text scrolling by.

Overall, it looks good.

I'll do a temporary image and try it in a few seconds :)
When Yak's workload lessens, we could ask him. If people like this chat, that is.

Looks nice to me. The only thing I have a problem with is the black "Change Nick"-box, you can't see what you're typing there. It's better than the old one IMO. There, you got your comment. ;)

Edit: You might want to put in smileys too.

Fixing the smiles is what I planned on doing tonight. It's not hard as it is just copying a little things and pasting it elsewhere... I'll get right on it :)

The smiles now works (they screwed up the chat code for a little moment) and I have fixed the into message. Now I only think it is skinning left to do - if people like this chat more.

I can't seem to get the chat working. I click on it and nothing comes up.

Does your browser allow java scripts to be run? Can it be a pop-up blocker?

Damnit!

I'm at work and it crashed my comp twice.. which is nothing new for this place.. sigh.

Last thing I saw was a smiley from Nag, and lagged out.. I tried to connect again, no luck. I know the third time is a charm but these customers hate being on hold while I post as it is.. :lol:

I'll try when I get home. :)

Who wants to make the new chatroom into the default one?

I tried them both out and had trouble getting onto the old one, so I think the new one would be nice.
