MeetFighters News

Probably the most frequent complaints about the site have been about Chat. It was well deserved, too: the chat was a rush job. It worked, barely, with some problems:

• Some users just couldn't connect. Maybe it was the java applet verification, maybe something else. I could never figure out why.
• You couldn't look up member profiles from the chat window itself.
• Creating rooms, switching between channels was not very intuitive.

Thanks to Mibbit, we have a new site chat that solves all the above problems. Please visit your preferences to select which site chat you wish to use. Also, the site now includes instructions about how you can connect with your own chat software. The advantage of using your own software instead of Mibbit or java are many:

• Better usability than anything browser-based.
• You can log your conversations.
• You can customize font size, colors, use plug-ins, etc.

If you can do without these, Mibbit will hopefully fit you just fine.

Also, when you are logged into chat, you will get instant messages whenever you receive a new message here.
