CGN Facebook-style chat.

[artherd]

CGN now has a user to user Facebook style chat system. Implemented it in the 1.1 Beta skin, the chat function is visible at the very bottom of your browser window. It includes the ability to chat with any other CGN users.

We don't directly host the chat application - and like Facebook chat it is not the most stable beast out there so please be aware.

Okay... wow... that was cool, gonna have to get used to that button...!

Nice job there artherd, very nice job

I'm not even using 1.1 beta and I still got the chat bar. Is this normal?

[Kestryll]

Yes, I activated the plug in for the default skin.

[ZirconJohn]

Uh-oh Kestryll... here we go with that mind/muscle memory thing with that 'New Posts' button again. Remember when you added the CGN Google Search?

Well, it's fine and I suppose we could get used to it... It's just a suggestion.

Neat! time to make some calguner friends!

Okay-okay-okay... just noticed the 'Default Style/iPhone/1.1 Beta - toggle at bottom left... we are cool

Lernin' my way around here...

Thank you for your reply. It seems like you guys are tweaking it right now. it appeared and disappeared.

Is there a way to turn it off from my end? It just screws up my browser.

[artherd]

what browser are you running?

[otalps]

Safari.

[artherd]

I use Safari/OSX - it works exquisitely well. What's going on?

[otalps]

It wrecks the back and forward buttons. Kind of weird the back history is just filled up with "toksta* - IM- TestClient" and the forward stops working all together.

I turned off java and it's alright now, at least for calguns.

[otalps]

Meaning how many posts for page? If so you can change that in the user cp. I just changed mine back to 10 posts per page, scrolling is a pain on a laptop.

[artherd]

I changed the default page break to 50 from 10. you can set it back in the user CP if you want to go old-school for whatever reason.
