ChiefsPlanet Chatbox

**DaFace** · 10-23-2016, 09:59 AM

As you have probably seen, I'm experimenting with putting a little mini chat at the top of pages. You can also click "Chat" at the top to go full screen.

I'm not really sure what will work best, so here's a poll to measure opinions and to gripe about it if you hate it.

I voted the way I did (it should be its own separate page) because I'm afraid somebody will troll with spoilers to shows I watch.

A couple notes:

1. If you hate it, you can collapse it using the button in the upper-right.
2. I have no idea what it will do to server loads, so if we're bogging down I might have to push it to its own page.

It's so easily closed I think it's a great feature. User has an easy choice.

I'm seeing a bunch of broken image links

Fixed (just for the record).

I minimized it and now it's gone. Did someone remove it for everyone? Or does minimizing it take it away from everyone? If I had to recommend what to do, I'd keep it available at all times, and allow minimizing it, and let it stay minimizied until you open it again. But don't remove it from the page if it's minimized.

It's a small screen footprint when minimized.

Also agree with game day inclusion.

I moved it to the bottom of pages rather than the top.

One thing, if you go to the ChiefsPlanet main page without clicking on a forum and try to click the chat link, it gives a 404 error.

If you click into any forum, then click the link, it goes to the chat page.

Too bad this can't be a user option. Not the mods fault, just code.
