Circular and private chat

Post by Tightgloves »

What about a chat zone? A private one for talking one to one and a circular one (or more) to talk many people together about a topic (or more). Circular chat could have static or free topics: disposable latex gloves; surgical/long latex gloves; leather gloves; ...

Like an internet relay chat linked to the board?

Having an IRC channel for the board might be a good idea. Lots of sharing potential, and makes it easier for others to stay in contact.

Fine by me. Except that I wouldn't know how to do that, and I don't have time to find out. But if you find out, and tell me how I can do it, I'd be happy to. (To aid you on your quest: we're on a phpbb3 forum.)

There are some plugins for that such as Shoutbox for a "circular" chat and I know that chat plugins are available too. I don't have the time to check this out this week but I can take a look this weekend to search for the best ones and post the results here. What do you think about this?

For a full Chat, this is what I think may be the best:

http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/m ... w_version/

I haven't installed it myself as I don't need this kind of feature on my own phpbb3 board, but it seems to work very fine. It's a free download and all the steps are there for easy installation.

O yeah, sorry. I hadn't forgotten about this. It just takes some time. I downloaded it last weekend, but then the instructions said it would take 30 minutes to install, which I just couldn't spare.

It's coming, though. :yay: You know....eventually. :-/
