where's a flasher smiley when you need one 
if your using internet explorer and the chat window is minimised, if will come to the front when a new message arrives and play a sound. however, if the window it just hidden behind another, if *may* flash.
flashing proves very difficult, in firefox i had to switch the title, so that it blinks. im afraid this is as good as it gets for a browser application.

ok folks here is what we have:
#1 Page title words blink (works in all browsers)
#2 Sound is played upon new message (works in all, however for firefox you may need to disable then re-enable flash)
#3 Window gets the focus (works in IE only)
hopefully there's enough things here now to let you know when you get new messages
let me know if you need help with anything....

can anyone else reproduce the problem oriontat was seeing with the ad obfuscating the popup, i cant 
i think we have put up enough barriers, that someone genuinely wanting to score a story with a 1, must be passionate enough to leave a reason. the character count is worthless, as nicola said they can put in garbage.
lets suck it and see.....
edit: i found the problem oriontat had, its fixored.........

I personally think: don't create the option to have more than one-to-one conversations because when there's a possibility of having everyone talking in one place it all gets a little overwhelming and will put some people off; leaving some people out; making them feel not apart of the community. Also, anyone who doesn't chat in the big conversation but will chat in a one-to-one may be looked at as some weirdo because no-one knows him/her and no-one can understand why him or her aren't talking in the "main chat". Sure, I know the forums are a big conversation for everyone to partake in, but if no-one makes any posts you hardly notice.
</all based off personal experience when managing my own website>
I would suggest some way of making it more obvious that a new message has been received. Sound, in theory, is a good idea but then what sound do you use that isn't annoying? Also, when using sound it can not only get annoying but interupt the users music or they may just not bother with audio.
Some visual indication is what I suggest: forcing the window to flash when a new message is received is a popular method.
Talking of new messages: could you please make it more accurate? ...i.e. When I am chatting with people it will say as a title 'New message' (or whatever it says) and it'll keep alternating between this and whatever it alternates with even when you have the window open, read the message, replied and minimised it.
Oh and emoticon shortcuts: can we make these more generic? i.e. Not case sensitive or if they must be then add capital letters to the shortcuts (e.g. :P will only work when using smaller case letters {}).
That's all for now.
I would agree on the chat room scenario. I have used them before and been overwhelmed by all the messages flying past. sometimes its an advantage being on a 56k modem
Flashing the (browser) window upon a new message proved difficult. I had to opt for the less than optimal changing the window title. IE proved particularly difficult in recognising the window focus, and shutting down the window blink. I'll spend some more time investgating other ways around this.
Shortcuts, yes we can fix! Bad habit leaving sting comparisons case sensitive.

@ghostwriter
any hyperlinked author name on the story site has a context menu where you can initiate a chat. i was thinking of brining this into the forums at some point too.
@fireman, @OrionTat
there should be no reason you can have more than one chat window open at once, is it still an issue for people?

@techgoddess
you should be allowed to open more than one chat window at a time. this was an issue with an early release; can anyone confirm they can have more than one chat session going at once?
@CuriousJayUK
i understand where this problem is. i will get a fix in early in the new year. i have also found your problem with the add friend button on the chat window.
if people are being contacted by random, rude and obnoxious strangers, using the block button at the top of the chat window will not allow them to contact you again. if i see the same user being blocked multiple times, then its an indicator we have a troll amongst us.

Hi Folks
Just wanted to announce out new Chat feature to Lush. This allows any members to have a conversation in a popup window, similar to MSN Messenger (opps, thats where those smileys came from
) or .
If your browser blocks popup windows or you are running popup blocking software, you will need to allow popup's for Lush Stories before you can receive chat messages from other members. Read more about it here http://www.lushstories.com/allow-popups.aspx.
If your browser does block the chat request, you should see a message in the top right hand corner, in a black box. From here you can click to open the window.
I would appreciate any feedback, problems you guys experience using it. I have just noticed a little problem using IE while being sent a chat request from the forum, i'll get that fixed up next week.
Happy Chatting
