the new shape of the screen of the chat is much worst than the previous one, impossible to check the contacts, scrolling down is not a good solution

All true! It's a turnoff and a deal breaker.

Hey boomer, you can click the left arrow in the top left corner and get your contacts. "Impossible" my muscular butt 😘

I totally agree with you. The new look s not good.

In the old version, the previous chat persons were listed horizontally instead of in the present left column, The problem with the horizontal listing is that it eventually encroached on the number of chat lines you could see in an ongoing chat. Also. when a certain number of names appeared from previously held chats was exceeded, names would be bounced out. The present left column can be scrolled and names are not bounced out, they just continue to be added to the list in that left margin. ALSO at the bottom is a link to previous chats or recently held chats

Can't find my private conversations

Look to the left, or click the button "Recent conversations" if you closed it already.

I like a lot of the changes, and also agree that it was better to have the recent contacts appearing across the top. More appeared at once which made it much easier to see if somebody came online.

again, terrible solution, with the previous shape witha glimpe you had all your chats under control, while now you have to scroll down losing time and with the risk not to find the contacts, or missing them

True this whole new screen change I'm not apt to come here as often.

You don't need to scroll down, the new message will jump to the top automatically.

These settings are locked if you change the settings it just reverts back to what you had before

Thanks for letting me know, fixed!

Not all bad news, I like it

Very happy to see these changes! Thank you for your hard work.

You can edit line you posted - amazing plus!

That is an AMAZING improvement!

The old version had the list of regular contact and showed if they were online. Now you have to search through instead of quick and easy glance- Iy seems you took out one of the best features of the old chat.

I have similar feelings about it, however I hated trying to manage 4 to 5 rows of contacts. This newer system might take some getting used to, and there is always room for improvement. Perhaps a folder system on the side.

I agree with you Madison. It has on the top left all my feds listed and two recent chats but all the rest you have to search through recent conversations. As you said any new system takes time to get used to just this was a title bit of a shock when I opened chat.
Cheers Madison from Jason :)

No, all your private conversations are also on your left, not only the last 2 recent. So you can still see if a character comes online. And once you can pin tabs, they will stay on top if you prefer it that way.

Thanks Tech. I did work that out about 30 seconds after posting and geting to like this new format more and more. As with everything just takes time to sort it. Well done and had it sorted in no time at all. I think it was just a surprise to log om and find a new chat format pop up.
Cheers from Jason

Chat room gave up :D There could be a possible bug that brought the app down.

Or the chat reboot which was posted in the #lobby just 1min before the chat restarted? ;)
No bug just announced maintenance :)

Thanks Tech! Habits of an incident responder lol

It was a restart of the chat to address a few minor things.
The reboot was announced in the lobby ;-)

Edit:(And someone hit the reply button before i did i see ;-) )

i have tow characters running through the same acct - i can no longer invite them both to a private cha room - shows the character who is active in chat, but shows the other as offline - can't invite to room - this appears to screw up couples fights and tag matches using both characters - any advice? Thanks

not sure if your're trying this mobile or on pc, but:
Your second char has to be online, of course, just set him to online in the chat menu.
Your chatroomlist to the right will then show your char's profile pic as icon in front of each room to identify which char u are working with in each room.
Any room where your primairy char is in, you can now invite your other char, just like any other online user.

ABSOLUTELY correct Azn my friend. It will take time for people to adjust as any change does as for me it was just the sudden reengagement of things when I logged in and then did the same on my phone and quickly saw and adjusted to the various changes.
Within a very short time I was very happy with this even though I do have a big advantage in understanding these things it as does Azn. There was a fast reset of chat that was prewarned well done TECH.. I never did like the contacts conversations set at the base and makes for me at least easier and easier to keep track of current chats and having had two marches this evening (which I won against bigger supermen from the S.E., not supposed to mention that lol) ) but as I am Azn is totally correct and well explained.
Cheers Azn jobber (oops did I say that) I mean Azn Puncher.. :)

thank you very much! will try this - i have tried to get both online at same time but each time the invite request shows the other as offline - i then switch characters at the acct icon and the screen has a blue box that says you are now chatting as kathy legs- then when i try, she cant invite me to a room and vice versa - any advice? thanks again for our help

You dont have to switch characters in the main site, just set your additional other character online in the chat itself.
If you open the chat's own menu, you can just set your other char online by activating the toggle switch next to the char, in addition to the char you are logged in with! :)

Fantastic changes, Tech! Love it!

For mobile it’s a nice improvement. Can’t comment on computer

Couple things I've noticed (PC specific):

- No longer able to close tabs by right clicking, which means I can't close chats without going into the chat first to get the X to display. Well, I can use the middle mouse button, but on Windows, or at least on my computer, that puts me in scroll mode, which requires a click to end and that click activates whatever the mouse is over. Not a giant issue, but a mild annoyance.

- If I open a chat with someone who has blocked me, it no longer displays a message that I am unable to send messages to that person. If I type a message to the person, the message simply doesn't go through.

- If I have someone favorited, and they block me, there is no way to unfavorite them. I just get the message "You are not able to send messages".

Adding this here since it was mentioned in the lobby chat:

If my screen goes black or it relogs on I have to go into settings every time to turn them off. It isn’t a permanent thing

Yeah it would be nice if the chat remembered our preference settings so we don’t have to change them every time we log back on (those of us on mobile, at least). I did notice that it no longer automatically makes the “click” sound every time though, which is super nice.

Can’t see who’s private messaging me and I use two profiles if I go to another page and then come back it refreshes to my primary character but I’m not using that one.

Appreciate the new design. Took a beat to get used to, but definitely think it's an improvement. Thanks for your hard work!

Just curious if there are any plans to make it so animated gifs can be used in the chat.

So it says that Multiline Input was implemented, but is it? How does it work, or what does it mean? In chat I can only post 1 line per message.
