John Barresi Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 All feedback being noted, not ignoring - this is just lower on my priority list right now, hope to make all major (and possible) improvements within the coming 2 weeks. Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACrop Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Did chat die on everyone late last night? It just self closed mid conversation on my windows laptop last night. It was a good kick off time for me anyway... Sent from my Nexus 5X using KiteLife mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barresi Posted April 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 *groan* Still talking with Comet Chat support but it's looking more and more like I might be taking them up on the 30 day refund policy, particularly the bit about being able to see a list of ACTIVE users while using the group chat... It doesn't appear to be a feature now, but I'll know for sure very soon. Still researching other alternatives, but not seeing a lot - any suggestions are certainly welcomed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 First time using it yesterday, lack of a current roster is annoying. Never know who is actually on, unless they chime in. Other than that, went pretty much normal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHBKF Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 New chat works for me. I especially like the ability to go back & read the history. Also it allows you to delete your own posts. So now I might post hello & wait a few minutes for a response. If no one is there or they don't wish to chat I can delete my post & leave the site uncluttered with my inquiry. I thought maybe I might check near the top of the hour as a possible way of meeting up with others with the same idea. But I realize I am not too punctual so maybe five before to five or ten after you might find me on chat. SHBKF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted April 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I understand and appreciate the new chat works for a few, but it falls short overall. The refund process has been initiated, and I am already in the process of: 1 - reactivating the old chat (for the 2 weeks until it expires) 2 - removing Comet Chat from the forum system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted April 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Ok guys, I've found another chat platform that I think will do the job... https://www.arrowchat.com/demo/ Group chat with ACTIVE USER LIST Single login forum / chat The link above will allow you to easily demo the software in action (desktop and mobile), let me know what you think! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted April 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I was able to download and install a trial version of ArrowChat and it feels good so far... http://kitelife.com/forum/member-chat/ Seems to check off all the major concerns?

John Barresi Posted April 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hover your mouse on the avatar next to any chat post, time stamp is in the little pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHBKF Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Found myself really missing chat today. Traded PM's with Riffclown a bit regarding the issue of it not working. I always close chat when I'm done but I know others leave the tab open & it sometimes shows them still logged in for days at a time. I find myself checking it with two to five people showing without me knowing that any of them are actually actively monitoring. I wish the chat software would clear out the room after a lengthy period of no one posting. I may start posting a time in and an amount of time I will stand by. Or perhaps a time when I am logging out. It would also be helpful if the service would show a notification when someone enters or leaves chat. I know some have logged on & I have missed greeting them. I must admit to trying to get them to post for a bit. But some are just looking or perhaps a bit shy. I am a lifelong introvert & chat brought me out from under my rock. Just a few thoughts from the field, SHBKF EDIT: 3:54 pm 5/8/17 CHAT IS BACK ON! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Yep, thanks for your patience! Feature desires noted, will suggest to the software developers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
