Try it for yourself, it's on Clicker Heroes!

Let us know what you think.

If you can't find it, look for the "New" tab under the game.

Please don't double post! No ,ok I was joking!

Anyway, the feedback...

Just like many people pointed out, it needs a mute button, even though if you are doing nothing else, the notifications are pretty neat.

I imagine if it becomes a thing it will be polished a bit, for a slick design

Also, many users may be online at the same time...won't it need different chat rooms? Otherwise it will move very fast for any actual replies to be read...

Aside from that, it may need some constant moderating... I am not sure if that is possible. but really it depends, on how you want it to function. Users can still report other users for spam and abuse, but I don't know if it will be actually re-viewed. The chat seems to be moving very fast, so, unless you can view the chat log from the time the report was filed, I don't know what else can be done

Anyway, it is an excellent idea and one I've always wanted to see implemented here. So great work, and thanks for it

What do you see when the chat list breaks?

Apparently a message appeared when I hovered over this thread from the Forums home page.

Did I actually do something wrong on the chat or was that suppose to be the message?

Edit: It only appeared when I hovered over this thread. I took it off for a sec and it was gone, I put it back on, it reappeared.

Feedback:

Wish that the chat would be available anywhere on the site. Like how facebook works. Also, perhaps only people who have added each other may chat with each other.

Edit: scratch the the idea that both people have added each so that they can chat with each other, it's already been implemented I think lol.

Otherwise this looks pretty cool

Along with what I said in my last post, it also doesn't seem that the message appears when I click "See all notifications."

It seems that besides Clicker Heroes, new chat rooms have been added.

The following are the new chat rooms: Moderators(Moderators only), The King of Towers, Wartune, SFH3, Dawn of the Dragons, Sushi Cat: StoryCraft World Creator, and the Tavern.

These are the chat rooms so far.

When I have multiple tabs on the forums in IE, I can open the chat in one tab and get this on the other ones:

So because I've seen so many people ask or wonder about the icons, I'm going to explain what they mean.

A green dot means the user is online. That's kind of obvious.

A crescent moon means the user is idling(Not too sure on this but it seems likely.

And a black box that looks like a phone means that the user is using a mobile device.

There could be more icons I haven't seen yet.

Showing players name by avatar pic would be helpful. It is annoying having to mouse over their picture to see who is posting especially since many people have the same picture.

Or another method of differentiating people with the same avatar pic
