Chatbox?

I know a lot of people use hamachi, but not everyone can run it - or download it for a variety of reasons (parents, crappy computer etc.)

Wouldn't a Chatbox be worth at least trying?

duelacademy.net ->our home page. in the right corner you can see written DA's Chat Box.

On the other side that chatbox is not so practical maybe we should try to use forumotions default one. I'll speak with other stuff about it.

I agree amy that's sounds like a good ides =)

ya that does sound great

New Chatbox is added on homepage bottom. Now its up to you all to tell me which one you guys prefer to chat with so we can shut down one. Tell me here your opinions.

EDIT: I added poll so you can simply vote for the one you prefer.

The chat should be on like every page. no one stays on the home page for very long =/ i think it would increase interest here at DA and people would chat more ^^

it can't be at each page >_< , forumotion isn't that awesome.

ehh... i've seen a few websited with it on each page.

DDA has it on each page

Adding chat on each page makes our forum look bad since that chat takes much space at the top or bottom. However we could add a script that hides it and opens when you need. (Honestly I think click on homepage or click on "show chat" makes things the same, if you don't care about few more KBs loaded). I will consider it but it will take some time as I have many other things to do but it will be done eventually.

Well in DDA we have it on the right side of the screen, instead of having it on top/bottom. I figure that oughta work here as well, seeing as how there is already stuff on the right side, you could just stick the Chatango one in there.

Thats if we wind up going with Chatango one anyway, if we go with Forummotion one it will have to stay at just homepage; which, as Jaden inadvertantly says, is entirely futile seeing as how hardly anyone stays @ homepage for a period longer than 0-5 mins tops.

i think a good idea for a chat box is to do like wikia doese in wich you just put a little link that can be viewed everywhere and when that link gets clicked on it opens up a new window for that chat box so you can just keep it up to whole time and if you already have a DA account it atuomaticly registers your username but that just what i think would be best :/

It does not happen in a click though. Click to you means lots of modifications in code for me. Since this is forumotions site its hard to recode things by force.

I suggest a floating chat box,like i said im good with forums its a widget no1 els has but me heres how it looks.

The Chat Stays at the bottom of the forum it has a nice sign in english welcomne to Duel Academy since that one is ment for my personal Bulgarian Academy Doom Academy.As you can see it has 4 icons at the left end of the bar one is for Home,second for personal profile,third for Rules (really important) and last but not least a full page of the chat box.

I prefer the forumotion default one since I am used to it. Not a fan of the other one.

I actually found a chat box... I don't know if it works? owo
and Z, you're not the high king of DA. Please take the attitude and ego somewhere else.

Edit: Go to "Portal"
scroll to bottom.
Click "log in"
chat.

Yeah it's kind of hidden. I personally think it would be better at the top not the botom.

You request it, we do it =.=

its located at the top of portal now, until I get time to do the major edits.

And no need to vote anymore, Chatango was sent to the graveyard...
