Bring back the chat room

[Joe Blow]

Hi Joe (and fellow ASF posters)

I notice that the "Chat bar" has re-appeared on the screen. Does this mean you are not reinstaling the Flash Chat "Chat Room" for everyone to access?

No, the chat room is still returning. I have just been experiencing some technical difficulties getting it to function correctly with the new forum software.

The footer chat is back for now as I just installed the new version and I am running some performance tests to see whether or not it's worth keeping.

The live chat room will be returning very soon.

A chatrooms feature has now been added to the footer chat bar and I am interested in feedback on this to gauge its usefulness.

Just click on the chatrooms section of the chat bar and then click on the "Daytrader Chat" chatroom to enter it.

I am also very interested in feedback regarding impact on site performance (i.e. page loading times etc.) so please don't be shy about letting me know what you think.

As a past regular, I realise we caused you a few headaches Joe, but I am pleased to hear the Chat Room will be reinstated. It can be a great place to get diverse opinions on the market from many diferent people trading within their own framework.

PS...if I come back, can I have the mod spot??? I would love a "boot button" at times

Milo!!!

where ya been?

luv you long time

Should the chat box be bigger?
How do other members know if there is anyone loitering in the chat room?
How is th return of the old chat room comming along?

Should the chat box be bigger?

Unfortunately this is not something that is configurable.

How do other members know if there is anyone loitering in the chat room?

When you click on the chatrooms section of the chat bar and the box pops up you can see how many people are in the chat room to the right of where it says "Daytrader Chat".

How is th return of the old chat room comming along?

It will definitely be here this week.

Due to popular demand the ASF Chat Room has returned, and can be accessed (at the moment) via a link in the "Community" drop down menu in the navigation bar above.

It seems to be functioning correctly but if anyone notices any issues please let me know.

The footer chat has now been uninstalled.

Hi Joe

The chat room functioned well today. No-one experienced any droppouts or disconnections. One small issue was the message "Please do not spam the chat!!" would appear on the screen after some posts.

I experienced it once after posting a smiley face. The others said they were getting the message after posting typed comments?

Glad to hear it seems to be working fine. Will check into the other issue you mentioned and see what I can do.

I'm hoping this is now fixed. Let me know if it isn't.

You're welcome. Ultimately, ASF's purpose is to serve its members and visitors and it's my responsibility to ensure that happens; hence the return of the old chat room. I have to explore all possibilities however, just to be sure that one option won't work better than another and that is why I gave the footer chat a chance.

I would like to point out that the chat room can also be entered by clicking on the

icon immediately to the left of the list of chatters in the chat room.

I hope your top secret mission went well.

 

[nunthewiser]

I hope your top secret mission went well.

Currently in Meekatharra WA disguised as someone that cares

But there is a severe storm and flood warning sitting over the area tonight and if that causes me to become stuck here for another night because the highway gets cutoff, i will drop this caring facade like a hot potato and turn back into the callous wanka i truly am

other than that ...yeah its going well m8

Hey,

What happened to the chatroom chatters!

Now that the functionality is back I keep popping in when my ASX signals show up, but nobody to discuss with now?

I remember when I went in there last it was great, I had a signal and was monitoring it over the course of the day and discussing the large timeframe price action with other traders.

Had a quick chat with a member on there yesterday discussing JBH and MML but today it's empty again.

Remember the movie "Build it and they will come" ? Be patient, the chatters will return.

Cheers Joe for putting the chat room back up.

For those that cannot find it, click on the HOME tab and then under COMMUNITY tab, Live Chat Room.

Join in

Cheers

I used to log in and sit there when the chat site was finally re-instated. However most of the regular chatters had migrated to another flash chat site during the time it was disconnected, subsequently they haven't come back.
Eventually I got sick of being the only one there and stopped going there.

I only saw this today and it looks pretty cool apart from me being the only one there, might drop in tomorrow when trading starts to see if i can talk to anyone bar myself
