BTW, the chat should be working again now...

The link to it is on the board menu on the top right, next to FAQ and Search.

copy cats, totally stole the idea off of TFArchive.

Ergonomically terrific!

I also like the way you chose curtains instead of blinds. The latter is so impersonal. Bang up job.

Post by **Denyer** » Sun Jun 27, 2004 6:50 pm

Visually it's similar, but the code to integrate into phpBB was a rewrite.

Redstreak · Post by **Redstreak** » Sun Jun 27, 2004 6:51 pm

The chat clicks a lot.

Post by **Denyer** » Sun Jun 27, 2004 6:59 pm

Only if you have an OS and browser which is set to click every time you load a page. Yay for stupid Windows defaults.

So I'd assume there is no remedy for the screen flashes and clicks that occur when its reloading the page? Regardless, great job!

That's what I'm stuck with, sadly.

Control Panel > Sounds and Multimedia.

Screen flash depends on your system. I'm aiming for a rewrite which will improve things lots, but it's already better than phpMyChat in that respect.

Use a better browser, like Firefox

Post by **Denyer** » Sun Jun 27, 2004 8:12 pm

Yeah, that goes as a general recommendation. It renders things faster, has lots more useful options (pop-up blocking, etc) and isn't a direct route into your system marked "INFECT ME" for worms, spyware and nasty **** designed to steal credit card details...

Firefox and scat rules!

I heard something about that
"Here it is, TFA, the first site ever with a chat.
Even IRC is based on TFA".

TFA must be very rich for inventing the site-chat-funtion.

Post by **Best First** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 11:24 am

i think TFA Tempest invented chat personally.

including the verbal form.

you owe your ability to tell your mom you love her to him.

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 2:21 pm

Awesome!

On a more serious note; I am very happy with the new site. It looks, feels, and smells great.
It's much easier navigating etc etc.
Good work, I hope you are happy with it

*Prods the pile with a long pointy stick*

Speaking of which, shouldn`t we call Rentokil to try and get rid of that...it`s getting ever so crinkly. Plus, I think I saw it move.

Post by **Best First** » Wed Jun 30, 2004 7:46 am

well in one sense it is teeming with life.

"maybe even Gidia..."

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Jul 01, 2004 11:28 pm

Any chance of the page getting a title (e.g. "TransFans | Chat")?

Looks a bit naff being the only page on the site with its url as its title.

Post by **Best First** » Fri Jul 02, 2004 10:46 am

but surely young rebis, that is a question for the Project Transfans Admin Forum?

Ah, but I was posting it from a non-Admin point of view. And it really is a minor point. didn't think it warranted its own topic, y'see?

Would it have been more obvious if I'd used an alt-ID instead?

Post by **Denyer** » Fri Jul 02, 2004 4:07 pm

Go to town on the frame page if you want.

You might even be able to fit one of the TF heads into the design, although things could get rather cramped.

Post by **Denyer** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 3:44 am

Should be working again, plus there are a few improvements in there. Most important of which as far as I'm concerned is that the same code now works on two forum systems, but y'all aren't really going to see much of that side of things.

- refresh is a heap better
- that cutesy /me command does something
- list of who's viewing the chat

Any problems, please post them in here...
