Over the past two days we have added a few more features to the chat that were requested and/or just needed to be added.
- Making web addresses clickable in the chat. We also shorten the link to make chat easier to read, so when you paste a long URL like "http://www.blogster.com/bobski/the-cake-is-a-lie-and-so-is-the-new-google-os" you see [Link: blogster.com] and hovering over it with your mouse will display the full URL in a tooltip.
- You can now adjust the font size.
- Messages that are in the chat from before you join now show up as grey and italic, to designate them as old.
- When you get messages in chats that are not the active tab, the tab now blinks to grab your attention.
- The user list in chat rooms are now sorted alphabetically. ^_^ Huzzah
- Added "Return to Chat" links on the friends and ignore pages to make it more obvious how to get back to chat.
- It is also a little faster but there is no way I cannot prove it without technical jibberish so on that probably just have to take my word ;)
- Messages are displayed in the main chat when people join and leave the chat.
- We added a few handy tips underneath the chat window, just nice things you should know about chatting. They change to show a different tip every now and then.
