Chatroom Idea

Can we maybe have a way to easily recognise who we are talking to? I.E if you click on a name in the chat it automatically inserts "@Namehere"? I dunno how much work something like that would be but generally a way to easily communicate with specific people other than writing their name manually would be appreciated I am sure.

Good idea! I generally don't like using @"insertnamehere" because it takes a long time, and like Flip said, is very annoying. Even copying and pasting is not the best option, but if it's too difficult to implement, then I guess we can suffer a bit more.

It might be easier to add a quote function at the end, just like it is here.

^ that could be effective 
maybe each post could have a "Q" at the end which if pushed, adds a quote of the corresponding post.

Could this really be? A suggestion that did not lead into a flame war? This has to be new for MLK...
By all seriousness, the only reason why I think such a thing will not be implemented is simply because it will be too hard to code. Having a quote option has no losses, and can help people if multiple conversations are going on in the chatbox. So this really is a question of 'how hard is it to code a quote system into the chatbox?'

I like it... but as DGFone says, it seems to take some work, and since even with really little things the staff mess up, I don't see how much possible will it be. I hope it happens, tho.
Victory, at last!

Well you can already quote people in the chat, I can't profess to be an expert but it can't be that difficult if you know roughly what you are doing, to add a quote function when it already exists on the post reply page.
I do remember Moka saying he MIGHT be updating the chatroom, though.

Yep, great idea! It's pretty annoying when the chatroom is busy and you're talking to someone.
There are those who complain about the wind, there are those who hope the wind will change, --though the wise-- the wise adjust their sails.

I don't think it would be that hard to code. The quote function is already there.
