Move League Chatbox

***mattynokes*** · 02-06-2011, 04:50 PM

I think it'd be better if there was a re-directing link for the chatbox. In my roughly 15 hours since joining I've already seen problems and have seen these same problems in other leagues that have the chatbox on the main page of the boards. You lose/miss messages when going through forums and PMs while continually getting signed off and on when doing so (even when uncheckmarking the sign in auto). It's just frustrating and I think it'd be better elsewhere where there's nothing interfering with that chats.

What I do is have two tabs open, one for the chat and one for browsing.

And that still messes with the chat, by signing you out when you go back to the home page (even with sign-in automatically turned off).

i still liked the pop up chat jordan had set up once.

The popup chat is not returning.

Next opening up a second tab works miracles, no problems arise, if it does then use a different browser. Mozzilla works fine and so does chrome.

I like this guy :cool:

To avoid this, I came up with the idea of a pop-up chat, and I put code in so that it would not refresh when you went back to the main page. You would always have your chat in another window. However, 5 of the 30 teams in the league didn't like the popup, so I was forced to remove it.

I was going to put a link to the popup below XAT (as it's better and cleaner than it's 'go big' thing) But I guess i've been too lazy and haven't got around to that. However even with that, it still wouldn't solve the refreshing problems which the popup did.

However if you go back to the main page with your other tab, the chat gets refreshed.

What nick does is he doesn't even visit the main page. He has the chat Favorited, and then the major forum sections Favorited.

That's the problem I have.

can't you guys just make a xat chat site, and then have a link for everyone to go to? It's pretty easy it will just be a site that has the xat chat in it and you can talk trades all you want without it signing you out. I was in a league awhile back that had this and it was very successful, everyone liked it that way. Doesn't matter to me either way honestly.
