I have opened the chat box up for a large number of my members, so that was some rigorous testing. Here is what I encountered:
Problems:
- The chat box could not handle around 100 concurrent members. Whenever more than 80-90 members where in, the chat became problematic and slow. Whenever near 100 chatters, members would be thrown out/denied with 15-20 at a time. Can this be improved / avoided?
- Access from the chat box on forum pages was hard for a lot of members, while chat access from the main chat page /mgc_cb_evo.php?do=view_chatbox did not give access problems(until 80 chatters where in). Members often where unable to view shouts in the main channel, when accessing on a forum page.
Does this make sense to you? Any idea what happened?
I would like to open the chat box up again for my members, if it can take a few hundred concurrent chatters.
Feature requests:
- A much requested feature by my members is to have the input field below the shouts. please consider adding this.
- It would be useful to be able to infract members from the chat box.
- Invite members into a channel.
