I just added a new chatbox and am testing it out a little. The coloring will change because how I have it set now is hideous, so fear not, it's not going to stay that ugly. To access this chatbox click the "Open Chatbox" button at the bottom right hand corner of your browser screen. The cool thing about this chatbox as opposed to the shoutbox located at the bottom of the page is that this one follows you up and down as you scroll so you can check in on the conversation where ever you are on the site! Give it a try and let me know what you think (besides the ugly coloring, I already know). This will most likely be replacing the shoutbox but until I get this new chatbox how I want it the shoutbox will stay.

Adding a personal avatar to the Chatbox: Upload your chosen image to the web using an online image host, and then enter the direct link to it in the email / url input box of the chatbox. Any .gif, .jpg or .png file will be accepted. Avatars will be resized.

I like the idea of it, just for me it's confusing, but I see where you're going with it and I like it.

Yea I like having a chatbox LIKE that one, but imo this one specifically, the letters are too small, and it is somewhat confusing

My biggest fear is if it becomes like the facebook one, you know. But, does it notify you when people are having a conversation or no?

Unfortunately the free version does not have an instant message feature where it would notify you of new messages. Once the forum is a little more active I'll cough up the 6 bucks to upgrade it provided everyone likes the chatbox.

But hey at least it is only 6 and not 20+

As of right now the chatbox is ok. but now that I think about it, once we get some good traffic on this site the chatbox will be a serious pain to use. Think about it, everyone chatting in that box all at once. It would be too small and too crowded for anyone to follow a conversation
