As we have said numerous times, that is a feature we plan to add.

Most of what you will need is in the iwt_idealchat_bottombar template. The rest of it can be found in the global_start plugins for both of the products.

ok, thanks for responding.

I noted a weird bug?

If i watch chat for a bit go away to view say FB on another tab and come back, i would see loads of a new text that the forum members have typed - but, if i hit new posts or forum root - all that new text dissapears and i see only the text i was reading prior to leaving the forum tab in the first instance..

Hope that makes sense.. lol.

so to replicate.

1. type stuff in general chat blah blah blah..
2. go away to another tab on your browser, surf some....
3. come back to forum tab and you would see new text from people talking
4. hit new posts.
5. all the new text from leaving the page at stage 2 dissapears and you are left with the old text.

Its a bit annoying this bug :(

EDIT: I have found now that any new text is not saved.

ty

Sorry, one last thing for tonight.

Any new person joining General Chat, can it be so that they do not see any history? - imagine someone is talking about someone behind their backs and all of a sudden they join chat and see all of the history? - please make is so that this isnt possible.

Thanks

Just to further on the issue previously highlighted.

It seems that only general is affected by this.. a moderator an i spammed a PM message to death, refreshing (new posts) at regular intervals, at no point did the text reset.

However, performing the same tests on General would see all new text deleted.

There are exactly 1000 characters in history?! maybe general chat can only hold so much and doesnt accept new?

Thank for reporting this, we will look into this and see what may be causing it.

As for the general chat history, we can see about making a setting for that. (Although we believe that anything you have to say about someone should be said to their face!)

sorry, me again.... lol..

Links, they dont auto link, please can this be corrected.

Just to add a bit more info, all 3 of us in chat all rest to the same bit of text, i.e. the 1000 characters, all new text is erased - so we all see the same 1000 characters of text remain when we reffresh the page.

That is not a bug, links do not get auto parsed in the lite version. That is one of the features we have reserved only for the pro version currently.

I know, i know! you hate me :)

Another suggestion...

Would it be possible on the general tab to show how many people are in there? maybe General (2) for example? perhaps fruther down the line hoevering over the number would show the names?

This is something we want to do, but we're not happy with any of the solutions we have come up with yet. Once we have a solution that we feel is sound, we will implement it.
