Forum: Recent Status Updates

Recommended Posts

The 'Recent Status Updates' window on the homepage of the forum is currently being used to chat to one another. I don't think everyone realises that they're actually changing the status summary of their avatar.

 

Point is, looks like a real-time chat function could be useful and might server the community better than this sudo-chat window is right now.

All I'm pointing out there is that people really seem to like the little sudo-chat window on the home page - Except thats the status update function. Its the wrong use. *shrugs* I jsut thought it'd be a better way to communicate between each other.

 

For example - Remove the recent status updates window and see if you can replace it with a live log of the chat and present a button for people to push - "Join chat".

Maybe the people chatting dont want it visible to all ?

The other problem (which doesn't affect the status window), is that you can fit more people in a dustbin than you can in the chat room... Although it's soon being expanded apparently. Maybe then it will be the size of a wheelie-bin...
