Suggestions for chat - UltraBudgie - 10-30-2024
The "chat" function at the top of the page is nice, but it seems to be more of a simulation of ships passing in the night, rather than something useful. A few suggestions:
The banner at the top of the page:

...should have a little red "0" by "Chat", if no one is in there, or a "1" or "2" or whatever, if someone is. This will make it easy to see, and go "Oh look there's someone in chat who needs Ignorance Denied, off to the rescue!" As it is now, some people just occasionally click chat to see if anyone is there, and then leave, and all you see when you go there is whether you missed anyone or not.
Second, perhaps if one of the moderators is interested, DI could schedule regular chats at a semi-regular time, like MWF 8pmEST or something, and put one of those snazzy red banners at the top of the thread lists, etc, saying, like, "Group Chat And Speedo Party Click Chat Now!". That would sure get a lot of people in there, and may be fun.
Okay that was just a few suggestions or ideas for other people to chime in, take of it what you will.
Also while I am posting the board questions forum, I want to point out that the little red "Subscribe" button at the bottom of the thread, while it works to susbscribe to a thread, if you're already subscribed to a thread, clicking it unsubscribes you. I think that's what it's supposed to do, but the label at that point should read "Unsubscribe" rather than "Subscribe".
