| New Cool Stuff for the Chatbox Sunday, April 5, 2009 3:35 am — Posted by Livio |
ShareThisThere's a new link on the top left corner of the chatbox that looks like this: [«•»]. If you click on it it'll explain everything.... [EDIT: Not anymore, the pop-up has been removed due to annoyingness.]
What it does is toggle through different layout types, and so far there are only two: the default and the "chatbox mode". Chatbox mode hides the Online Members box, and replaces it with more options for the chatbox. These options include setting a different Username and even a different title for that post. It's not very useful, but apparently it's very fun to use. Changed usernames will have different shade of blue than the other links, in order to help avoid massive fraud and confusion.
Plus, if you roll over it, it tells you who the real person is, and clicking on it will send you to their real profile.So yeah use this wisely and don't forget about the poor online members box.
I was thinking of making a third toggle setting that would include a hybrid between the online members and the chatbox settings in one box, but it might get too crowded. And there just isn't enough room on the chatbox itself for those options either, so I can't use that either.... Anyway, enjoy.

For Example: Each text box should have it's own line, that way the refresh button isn't wandering out there alone on the bottom line. spooky secret | |

I was gonna add an option there that'll let you save the name and title as defaults. | |

fake names in the chatbox are now easier to tell apart from non-fake names. so far the public response isn't very good, but I'm leaving the change up for a while to see if you guys can adapt or something | |
