You'll notice a new bar at the bottom of the forum which looks a lot like the one from Facebook. What this does is allow you to chat with anyone on your friend list just as you do now on Facebook. Here's a quick rundown of how CometChat works: If a friend of yours is on the forum, you can click "Who's Online" and you'll see a green light beside their name. When chatting, you can send files or even play a game against them. To the right of that are the options. This allows you to set your status and turn off the sound feature. To the far left of the bottom bar, you can click the globe which takes you to the front page of goTitans.com. The one to the right of it is for chat rooms. We have two in there now (Gameday and 24/7). You can select either and chat with others. To the right is the icon for single-player games. I've not done much yet there but did play a little blackjack. Please mess around with it and leave your impressions in this thread. The only glitch I've had is with some windows breaking up. Closing and opening back up, or refreshing the page, seems to fix this. We have 14 days to decide whether or not to keep it. Let me know what you think.
Will having the game day chat in a separate window help with game day traffic? I think that's the true test as to whether we'd want to keep it or not.
I really don't know. The new server should allow for members who want to post in either a gameday thread or the chat. We'll see.
