Hey all. So the new chat has been live for a few days. I think it will take a little time for people to get used to it being down at the bottom of their browser page, but the functionality of the chat has been greatly enhanced.<br />
<br />
Check it out at the bottom, and feel free to "pop up" the chat while you are browsing bX.<br />

Ok, so the new chat feature is live and seems to be working. It should resemble the chat on facebook.com where it is more out of the way, but readily available.<br />
<br />
Please try using it by looking down at the bottom of your browser window. The private chat feature is much better, and the pop out ability is improved.<br />
<br />
Look forward to hearing your feedback.<br />

Looking forward to a more user friendly and reliable chat, Matt. (But as Valentin David said, Flash=Bad when it comes to system resources - I usually keep Flash deactivated on my computer.) But I'll use whatever you give us!

what the updates should bring, is a chat more similar to facebook or gmail ... will live within a tab or browser window, but will be much more integrated and prominent for those on bX who want to use it ...<br />

I know it sounds like the geek reaction. But if you consider all the social networks coming up chat features, if you consider subscribing to several of them, you then get lost easily. If I need to have one chat for coffee, one for a photography network, one for a music one... I finally use those I can integrate into my chat software, so the one who use a protocol that is opened (or at least commonly used). Protocols can be IRC, XMPP, etc. Moreover, even though I am not completely against Flash technology (because it really helped the web, for video streaming for example), it is really starting to kill my computer. I need to restart my browser every 24 hours just because of advertisements in Flash taking all my memory resource. For me "popping up" the chat does not help much, because it is still using the browser. What I would expect is to be able to connect to it as IRC.<br/> <br/>
You asked me to be more specific, here I am. Do not take this as I am criticizing. I do not use the chat on bX, so do not do nothing for me. I just wondered.<br/>
