Blue Phoenix Ace Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Invision decided to stop support for the current chat system. I found a nice plugin that does pretty much the same thing, plus it allows moderators to moderate the channel as well. I have allowed guests to enter chat and speak, since I believe this is how it was setup before. If you have trouble with that let me know. If you have any other feedback about the chat, also please let me know. There are probably other plugins I could try out, but as far as customization of colors in this particular plugin, I don't have any control over that. It seems to follow the same color scheme you pick from the themes at the bottom of the page though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tal Shi'ar Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The moderation and the layout I've found isn't that great. It seems more like a shoutbox than an actual chat, and the moderation controls are rather lacking. All in all the layout and the mod controls are just horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I did not notice that the room different at first, so I would say that it's well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zema Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I haven't noticed anyone using the inbuilt chat room for months. Everyone who wants to chat these days goes on the discord server (link in my signature) simply because it's way more functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the chat is actually useful for keeping the Arocalypse user base engaged, and not everyone has a Discord. I do like chatting in Arocalypse chat once in a while. Also that is a very shameless plug for your own discord group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means that it doesn't attract any new users to join chat because nobody wants to enter an empty chat room. 12 minutes ago, Robin said: Also that is a very shameless plug for your own discord group Shameless plug or not, I was stating facts.

Blue Phoenix Ace Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'm glad there's also a discord server. We can't do voice over IP here on the boards, unless I shell out a bunch of cash. Whereas Discord is free, so I have no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Phoenix Ace Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 I decided to disallow guests from chatting in the room. Previously, we had a clear indicator of who had joined the channel. But now, we have no idea. Rather than allow mysterious people to come in and spy with members totally unaware, I decided to disallow them from entering the channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
