Elektron Chat? 16 Years, 3 Months ago
|
Isn't that a good idea? An online Java chat-room box? seeing that there are 16 members online now (and it's 05:07 in the morning) and no posts are being created, it would be great to just be able to chat with some folks *edit* it would also reduce the ammount of useless posts that can be answered with a few words here's something I found in a 10 sec. google trip: http://java.chatster.org/lite/index.html

Ya know I have considered this but am on the fence about it. There's quite a few 'chat boxes' available for Joomla.
It's important to remember that the 'Who's Online' isn't necessarily reflective of who's online at the moment. The current session logs keep people online for 2.5 hours unless they manually log out. So of the 16 members you saw online, you very may have been the only one browsing.
I will consider this either way. I just don't want to bog the site down and make it overly bloated. Plus, the sidebar is pretty full as it is!

ok, I understand.. What about creating some 3rd party 'chat-box' that isn't hosted on the site? aaaah, I don't know, maybe it's just bull anyways, I'm turning this into a poll, get your votes in!! *edit* there aren't any polls anymore?

there's no longer forum polls. there's a forum hack another user has done to have a forum polls but last year, there was zero user initiated polls. so it doesn't really seem like it's worth the hassle.
if you want a poll i can create one. or show you how to link one, like i did with the 'Embroidered Patches' thread.
lemme know

Ok, here's the deal. I've setup a chat client on the test site. It's really rad and is working great. It will be added to the main navigation and will have it's own page.
Here's the catch. While i think it's the 'beez knees', it's gonna cost us money to get the full functionality. I'm testing the free version but it limits the chat rooms to 3 people. BOOOO! The full version cost $39.95 USD. I think it's worth it but I'm not willing to pay the full bill myself.
So keeping with this being a 'Community Driven' site. I'm going to ask for contributions to make this a reality. If you're will to contribute, please send your donation to my paypal. The account is: actuel@gmail.com

To link a Polldaddy poll you just code like this: just place your Polldaddy ID number and put that code in your post. where's the love?

I just did this for you Hagier to see what i talking about. You can just make any poll, you just have to place the poll's ID in the code, like in the picture. {PollDaddy id=233311} Also, in case anyone missed it. I have a 'Chatbox' in place. Just waiting for some financial assistance to make it a reality, or not.
