FlashChat - Live Chat - Now Testing

[The_Hawk]

You may have noticed another new little button on your toolbar next to Log Out called FlashChat.

Hit this button and you will be taken to out new live chat area. If the system asks for a username and password just use your normal forum details and away you go.

At this stage this is a *TEST* and is unsupported, but don't let that put you off, it should work without issues *fingers crossed*...

Post up in this thread if you have any issues with it.

Nice, if lots of ppl use it often then it'll be good to get proper convos going.

[The_Hawk]

Would absolutely LOVE to see that happen :D

[duglet]

did i do something wrong...

I couldnt get it to work..

also..our forum use Vbulletin too...but we use a different chat application.

It works a little better than Flashchat...as the fordXR5 forums have FC

Anyways...just a thought.

Happy Motoring

I hear it uses alot of bandwidth. Sould be good though since my msn doesnt work.

[DubSteve]

[16v_kid]

Speak for yourself :nana:


Ohh wait.. I am at work :duh:

[goodfella]

so whats wrong with good old Messenger???

[mikepologti]

wow i like this idea. now ive just got to be on a normal sleeping schedule with everyone else to chat lol. a bonus over msn is that this works on heavily firewalled networks. unfortunatly for me, no ones on at 2am in the morning.

[VisionaryVr6]

im on now, no ones in there xD

[mikepologti]

i am now, this works really well , even emotes

[Treza360]

For those who haven't discovered it yet, you can initiate a private conversation with members in the lounge by left clicking on the users on the right hand side and selecting "Private Message". There's some other options there too but this is useful if you want to have a chat as opposed to using msn or similar.
Cheers,

Credit where credit is due? :nana: lol

[mikepologti]

ive got a sugestion is it possable to put a drop down menu on the "flash chat " tab to let you see if anyones already logged into chat? or even an icon placed beside the avatar name to let people know in forum that they are currently in live chat. just an idea.

[Rocket36]

as soon as you login (which takes seconds) you should have a list of people already logged in.

[Rocket36]

Has been so quiet (read: epmty) in flash chat recently. Although the whole forum seems to have died down a lot recently. A shame... :(

[Mrk_Mickey]

There's waves of people. I've only ever been one there once with more than one person on there..and that's when I asked for help hehe :D we had a pretty good convo going, about 5 or 6 of us at one point.
