Broken Chat again

Hi! Welcome to the Feedback forum.
Before reading anything or asking anything; please check out the FAQs. Your question might be in there. However if you want a better understanding after reading the FAQs, like if it didn't explain it good enough, then by all means ask your question.

Please read the following before posting in this forum...

In this forum you will see an Announcement, and several "sticky" topics. The announcement is the Universal Board Rules. If you are new, read this before doing anything else! The sticky topics will stay above and separated from normal user-made topics in the forum. This is because they outline important information about the board. If you see a sticky topic concerning your issue, please reply with your question or concern in the correct topic. Moderators will see your reply within these topics. Before asking your question, be sure to read the topic and its first page especially. It contains information about your issue that is valuable and may even answer your questions. If the topic does not answer your question, ask your question within the topic, not the forum. If no sticky topic concerns your issue, then you are welcome to ask your own questions by creating a new topic within the forum.

Thank you for keeping the Board Help forum organized!

This is related to the chatbox, so I think I will post here instead of creating a whole new topic for this:

Can we use the chatbox as a shoutbox? As in, say I want to get people to vote in the writing contest, can I post in the chatbox something like "hey everyone, get over to the writing contest and vote!"? This way, I will be able to add more time period increments without having to spam the writing contest topics. (If I will be able to shout out half way, three quarters, last day, last hour...)

^ If it's acceptable for moderators to spam images of ponies, then there's nothing wrong with that.

I may remove the ability for the img tag to be used in the chatbox. It's a bit annoying to have the entire conversation shoved down because someone posted a huge image.

[quote="DGFone"][quote="Regulus"]It works for me.

I have no idea what could cause a problem like this. I'm guessing it worked at first, but just stopped? Have you tried using different web browsers?[/quote]

I was about to suggest that. I am using Chromium myself, which shouldn't be any different than standard Chrome.[/quote]
I switched from Google Chrome to Internet Explorer but it still didn't worked. :?

Okay! Glad to hear it's working for everybody now.

It probably will stop working once in a while as it did before on the dedicated page, but there's not much I can do about that unless I completely rewrite the chatbox, which I've considered doing.
