Rob Allen Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 We have made some progress. Chat is now back. You can open chat by clicking on the Chat button just under the header. There are two public chat rooms, "The Public Fish Tank" and "Emergency Room". "The Public Fish Tank" is a room for everyone to pop in and discuss anything. "Emergency Room" is a room open for people to talk live about issues with their tanks. There are two private rooms, "Members Sump" and "Board Room". "Members Sump" is a PNWMAS Members Only area. "Board Room" is for PNWMAS Officers and BOD Members to talk shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCR Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Soooooo are we going to have a TIME to meet. Is there going to be split conversations. Members only and Non members. I ques It just doesn't feel right to me. I would have to go to one or the other. If people want a private conversation. Isn't that what PM is for? I appreciate you getting it to work again.

What I think he ment Blaine was that there are several different chats available. Members, Board, emergency and general public. Seems like a perk for members thats about it.

Yes if members ONLY want to chat in that forum, I ques it will force non members to become members if they want to chat with the Members club. I hope it doesn't come to that. I'd hate to see it as an uppity move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael7979 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 How do you know if there is anyone in chat? Is there a 'ticker' or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Allen Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 There is nothing meant by the member / non-member chat areas. It was only a thought of a perk to be a member or become a member and to have multiple rooms. Functionality to show who is in chat is still in development. Hoping this can happen at some point in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Chat is awesome. The swear filter is a little off ( not that I know anything about that ). If you type any word that starts with a B and has a H in it, the swear filter will block it. Words like brought, breath, bright, all get filtered. It is pretty funny.

Just as the Members Forum is use for club issues, it is nowhere near as fun as the public forum. It is really there out of necessity, than as a membership "perk" to have an exclusive hangout. I feel that the majority of the people at the forum, both members and non-members, when given the choice, would still rather talk about their tanks, than discuss club politics!

(I just tried it, and "Berghia" shows as "b***h ia" ... another forbidden subject would be mentioning the b***h emian Rhapsody, by Queen.)(laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbatman99 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 The chat feature is great, however the last 8 times I've gone in nobody is in it. Is there a way to display on the main page how many people are currently in chat? If so I think it would help get people involved. Thanks, Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Brad Thats a great idea Brad, I have done the same thing as well. It would definitely encourage higher usage I bet. With the old chat setup, people used to post in a thread to let everyone know they were there but this idea would be much better in my mind.

TAD Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 We need an icon or something to let us know on the main board that someone is in the chat room. That and tone down the filter you cant even type "bought" in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
