It's been requested for a long time and now I'm happy to say it's arrived!
Direct in-site person-to-person chatting has now been installed and is available to all logged in members.
You should now see a big bar at the bottom of your screen which resembles Facebook chat somewhat - so how do you use it?
Well, like Facebook, you can only chat with your friends - so if you want to start communicating with someone, you need to add them to your friends list - this can be done here.
Once added (and they accept) - you will then see their online status in the bottom right and be able to hit them up at will
If you want a multiuser chat - then this can be done in the chatrooms, found in the bottom left with the
icon.
Obviously as it's new, I haven't been able to test for serverload - but hopefully it won't be too bad. If we start running into issues, I may have to set it so only donated members can use it ... but fingers crossed
Oh, and if you want to remove it entirely - the option is in the user control panel
