Hey everyone

You'll notice the Chatbox is no longer at the top of the homepage. You can now find it on the right of your screen.

Just look out for this:


It'll open and close the chatbox.

There are a few reasons for the new chatbox. Most importantly it is now available on all the forum pages (except Profile, PM's and advanced message editor) so you can chat while browsing and posting. Secondly it's out of the way and no need to always scroll to the top to check messages or reply.

As far as I've tested there are no bugs across browsers. There is only a Firefox bug which is a problem with Firefox itself due to some update I believe.

Hope you all enjoy it

Love the new chatbox. 

It's good, I just wish we could have both.

Much more useful, thank you

doesnt feel as comfy sorry to say >.>

I can do both... but I'd really prefer not to  

I want to neaten up the homepage and do more stuff with that space in future. I also don't want people to disregard the new chatbox but give it a chance.

Having both does seem better
Cant we have a poll or something? lol

i rather the side one alone more

i agree with Salik, nat and zacky Lol

it looks nice though maybe we all got used to the old 1.

The chatbox hasn't even been up for 24 hours and people are discussing they would rather have the old one put back. I think change is good. Let's give this chatbox a chance, Sabb said he had plans for some of the space, lets see what the outcomes are on that.

its Just people giving out opinions Lol..

Give it a chance at least. I know everyone is used to the old one, and I don't think that's a valid reason to not try the new one. I'm not doing things just so for sake of being different but for sake of being better and improving. You'll get used to this one very quick find how useful it is once you do. If over time people would still prefer the old one back then we'll do both.

I seem to be in the minority in that I like it. DA use pretty much the same thing and there are no complaints there. In time you'll grow to like it, plus there is absolutely no point in having both the old and the new.

I think its makes the forum look clean and more organized not to mention some of the nonsense one could see at first visiting the website

We will be hosting a poll on this matter after a 48 hour test

at first when I saw there wasn't a chat box I thought I got banned. it is useful but now u cant open the chat whilst having only half the window open to multi task. also if u open it, it comes in the way of a post so overall I prefer the old one but what if u can put the old chat box on the top of every page.

It is not possible to put the old chat box on every page.

Would have to agree with those who disagree lol. I'd prefer to have the old 1 coz anyway when look at posts I not doing anything else and when I in chat I chatting
And btw it's a disaster on iPhone lol

I prefer the old chatbox too. It just isnt normal with this chatbox. Also one of the major things is that it doesn't work on phones and I tend to open it on my phone. On Iphone and Galaxy S4 it seems to work OK but still messes most of the times and on other phones it doesnt work
