Chatroom Idea

[FlipMode]

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.

[DGFone]

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.

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.

*shrugs* as I said, hope it happens, specially the @ thing.

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

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

But when you click on quote for a regular post, it takes you to the post editor. Because the chatbox is not run by posts, you can't use the quote system that I used just now. So while I hope that implementing a quote system can be as easy as you say it is, there is still a chance that something might not work and it will end up being much harder than anyone expected.
