Chat seems to have issues with the ignore and report functions. Ignoring someone will not hide their posts and you must refresh to report someone who may be long gone by the time you get back. sweatdrop Are you guys working on this? surprised

We're aware of this and right now there isn't a way to fix it, however, what you can do is report the person before you ignore them and then proceed to put them on your ignorelist.

The New Chat thing is awesome; alas it only has the normal Emotes and not any of the Cat Emotes! Why Meow?! Is there a possibility of having the Cat Emotes put in sometime soon?

This is something that we can take a look into, but not guarantees!

Just a random question, I sometimes see Bluealaris and CodeMonkey in the Alchemist chat thread I frequent but they hardly say anything. Is there a particular reason or are you guys just lurking?


True Fact: I'm a creepy lurker. And I'm watching you.

I don't know about that Codemonkey fellow....

What exactly is the progress of the Chat feature? Is it still in beta or...? I can't remember any announcements or alerts about its status. ninja

I think putting it on the 'Quick Links' bar at the bottom of the screen like how Meebo worked would be awesome. You can instantly see who's on and send them a chat IM instantly; LOVED that back in the day. whee


Its still in Beta, but we'll be releasing an announce soon. 3nodding

Is there going to be an update to CHAT soon?
There are a number of issues that have been brought up in the forums, but I haven't seen anything about it since it was released.

Amazingly enough, this is NOT a question about anything Bunny Ranger related! xd

Anyways, I was wondering if for the chat feature if you can add a sound whenever someone posts in the chat room! Now the reason I ask is because sometimes I'm in a chat room with friends and while I do things in the background, I can forget to check to see if someone has posted and because of that It often is a few minutes before I even think about responding.

Along with this there should also be the option to turn the sound on and off since there are going to be some people as we know that may abuse the sound and use it to annoy people.


No plans at the moment, but definitely a good idea.

Are you guys aware that if you open the Chat and Lake kindred at the same time, it causes one of them to lag real hard to the point where its not worth it and you need to close one?

Features - Chat System Bug

Whenever I go into a widely used chat room (ie. The GCD Hangout), I have a crippling slow lag that doesn't go away and then crashed with a warning about a script that isn't working. This is very annoying that it is to the point of being unusable along with the long post history that I can't delete them to save space. Will you get rid of this tech dilemma?

Script specifically to the crash warning: http://w.cdn.gaiaonline.com/src/_/1395/pkg-gaia_core.js:8

Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0


We'll have to take a look and see what is going on.

Question: As I'm a pretty avid user of Gaia Chat I couldn't help but notice that after a while the chat gets pretty laggy for
a lot of people, sometimes even for me. This is likely due to the amount of old messages loaded in the chat. Is it possible to
implement a script that clears the chat daily at midnight PST/PDT? I think this would alleviate the lagginess of this feature
quite a bit for many people.


We'll take a look and see what can be done. smile

Is there any mod in charge of the chat? Some regular users of the chat and I have been sending reports of trolls and spammers for the last few months and the very same users keep coming just to fill it with nonsense and be all-around crass. It would be nice if there was anyone to keep an eye on the chat reports.

I'm going to be completely honest, I personally forgot this feature existed. Can you PM me the name of the user?

Question
will there be a chat just like when we had meebo


There is already a chat.

Just a thought. When you upgrade it to HTML5 do you think you could integrate it into the site's footer - the one from the account settings page? That way it follows the user around and is easily accessible. Optionally make the footer mandatory so that everyone has quick access to it and knows it exists, but allow users to "sign out" of the chat - kind of like how Meebo use to work and/or how FB's chat works.


That idea has crossed my mind.

Features - Chat

Around a month ago, I brought up the topic of spammers and trolls on the Chat and I was told by a mod to send them a message with a list of past troublemakers for them to take care of. I still haven't gotten a response to it or the question it included, the message disappeared from my outbox, and right now there's another, more recent message for them still sitting in my outbox that hasn't been read with a report for another rule breaker. Are they ever going to get addressed, or should we just deal with spammers indefinitely?


Codemonkey is going to be updating it to HTML5. Hopefully he adds better anti-spam filters and everything can be properly reported and whatnot.


Yes!
Just after:
1.Mobile
2.Games
3.Towns

Not to mention events, ideas from Lanzer and Locke, and site bugs. But I'd would certainly like to!

There was a guy literally telling us he was 10 years old and some chump that cannot stop talking about his d**k and spamming people with female avatars with unsolicited advances and friend requests. Some people go there exclusively to spam and bother people. Someone sent us a link to a porn page. I think keeping an eye on the reports is the least they should do until this gets fixed, if ever.

Also, right now, my biggest complaint is the lack of an answer. I was personally told to send a message to an admin, of all people, and I got ignored. Twice. I'm not going to pretend that being an admin is an easy job, but when you ask someone to send you a report on something important, the least you can do is read it and send some signal that you got it.


I will see what I can do about the spam.

Dear the Staff,

The Adobe Flash may no longer fully function in the Towns, Towns 2, the instant Chat, and others that required the previous flash and are frequently use by us Gaians...

Do you have any spare time to make the latest be as compatible?
Optional: Is there a way to have a Discord function attach to something like Chat?


Firefox might be the browser to use moving forward for flash features.

Seeing as how Gaia Chat is going to die due to Flash no longer working properly. Are we going to replace the feature with something else?

I know we have Discord, but there are few people who prefer not to use Discord and I see that the livestream uses Chatwee to chat with the community as well as streaming.


We hope to replace all the flash content we can with alternatives, including chat. Chatwee may be an option.

is it the /launch/chat/ rooms that will be discontinued? or the /launch/chat/ that will be done away with the first one is the ones you can rent from the worlds tab the other one you can click on the forums tab. some clarification would be great
while were on the chat info how does this affect guild chat rooms? will they continue at all?


No specific plans for that feature at the moment, although eventually we want to replace as much flash content with HTML5 as possible.


that don't really help much as recently lanzer said some chat features were being removed now your saying no plans to do anything? it don't make sense
was mentioned here in staff updates
so which is it? the chat features being removed or not?


That was Friend Chat. It was a flash space. Something different entirerly.

Will there be functionality changes to the way Gaians communicate that we can look forward to in the future?

Right now communicating to a friend feels like I'm talking to them via snail mail and really lose engagement in the conversation unless we head to Towns/Rally.


We've had various chat functions in the past but somehow they never worked that well. How do you like the current Friends Chat feature and what would you like to see changed?

Will the Go Gaia app be supporting private messages anytime soon? I know there was an announcement about chats made recently. I'm simply wanting to clarify if they are different and/or if I can send and recieve private messages in the app. Please and thank you. smile


The new chat feature for Go Gaia app will work more like popular chat features like Google Hangout or WeChat. Unfortunately it's not backwards compatible with the current private messaging system but it should be more responsive and easier to use. We will find ways to add the new system to giaaonline instead.
