Beta Test the New Chat Client

Dear Fighters,

I am working on a improving the Browser Chat, based on the latest Kiwi IRC release. If you have some time, give it a try and give me feedback in a comment below.

Click here to try the new browser chat.

I'm also making some new things to replace/enhance the existing Statistics page. Here's a preview screenshot that shows the change in the number of members over the past week:

I am investigating webcam options. It's in the works, but no promises on timeline.

OK,

I thank you for your work.

Dont take this as a critic, but as far as thinlgs work well, there is no need to change.
for ex . , the new lay-out of the site // it was perfect with last version.

Happy New Year !

Also , I dont know what to propose, but the "block" function is used by some members too much . But maybe it is better like this.

For ex. , I met a member for a fight, all went well, but after some time, this member blocked me . Probably I am too old for him ( I can only guess ) . I have always been friendly with him.

Of course, as the site manager, you cant do anything to relationships between members.

Hi
I joined back in
Oct 2017.
Just wanted to
Coment about the
Block issue.
When I was new
I attempted to send a message to
someone I was interested in.
What popped up was " this member
Has Blocked you".
I didn't get it.as he couldn't have possibly even seen my profile yet.
I assumed the Block option was for individuals who
harass other members who don't want to comunicate with them.
How can gou Block
someone before they even send you a message?
Furthermore I see no harm in being polite and respectful to members who are interested in me.
Its always nice to be admired.
There are nice ways to say no.
There's no need to be cruel.
If members don't respond to my message I just take that as a rejection and move on.
Its not neccessary to Block someone
Unless they keep
Persuing a fruitless cause.

Hello,
thank you for this message. You said in better words exactly what I was trying to tell about "Block" function.

Hope for this New Year, that no more members will block you anymore!

Thanks for trying to improve the site always. i dont think you need to change the way the old browser works.
However, the white background is kind of bright.
We dont see anymore who is on line without being in the chat room which is a negative.
Keep up the good work

Hi,
the thing i liked in the last version is i could see the profile pics of all the guy on the tchat. On this new version we cant see that.
This new version looks cool to use anyway.

Bye,

Max

Hi Admin. Just tried the new chat format. When I clicked on the link you provided it takes me to a screen where above my profile name is the name nick which definitely isn't me. Also, when I tick the box which says 'I have a password' instead of allowing me to enter mine it automatically enters one of about 20 or so characters whereas mine is only 6 long...........For me it isn't working so obviously I prefer the current format which I am using right now. Ben :)

My feedback:

The thumbnails were better in the names list.
The chat lines are taking up too much real estate. The name, chat information and timestamp, could have been in the same line.

Thats it basically.

Thanks for all the work you put into this website. Everything looks great - my only comment is that i can't see the profile pics of the guys on the chat list (pics only show up if they are talking in the room). For some users, when i click on their name, I can see a pic - for most though, I can't see their pic unless I click on the entire profile. Maybe it's my computer though... thank you!

Is there a way to keep the pictures of members on the right next to each name AND have the member picture show with each comment? Really like to see who the member is whether they are actively chatting or not.

Some Feedback from playing around with the Beta for a few hours:
It's all based on being used on a 17'' notebook.

  • It seems to be a little bit slow sometimes (probably because it is beta?)
  • I personally think that the "Chatters list" should be a bigger font - and the chat itself should be made a little bit smaller.
    • "Name - Text - Time stamp" or "Time stamp - name - text" in a single line would be a better formatting for that
  • The autocomplete function for names is either not working or not implemented.
  • The design of the room itself looks cleaner and the "channel-list" on the left-hand side is a +, especially if you're having more than 2 or 3 windows open simultaneously

I'll add more things to the list if I stumble upon some more.

I can't seem to get the sound notifications to work. I clicked on the alarm button next to a private chat and it doesn't seem to add anything. I figured there has to be sounds if I have the option to mute sounds.

Previous one with pics of all participants was better.

Please offer us a gift - keep the possibility to choose between two versions of chat.

Happy New year!

I have added the pics to the user list on the right, that seemed to be the most common request so far.

You need a guide button to click on that will tell you what the various colors that are used for the names indicate.

I like it quite a bit. I think it's a cleaner interface. I don't mind the profiles opening in a new window; I would actually like the chat to open in a new window so I can still send and answer messages, etc.

would be good if the chat opened in a new window so you continue to have access to main site.

chat looks good and is vary intuitive. however:

  • I second the wish for a darker background (configuration option? or maybe take it from the site background setting).
  • would be nice to have the option of a "compact view" to render the main chat text flow much more compactly, resembling old-school text-only chat; e.g. less space between consecutive lines from the same person, removal of thumbnail pictures, timestamp and user name inline, etc.

I like the potential new version, especially as you can see the profile images in the public chat. Works great on the laptop but a bit of a glitch fest on my dinosaur iphone. Could do with whatever magic tricks you performed when the website was updated.
