Live chat

Good morning,

What do you think of a chat?
It might be a nice way for members who browse the site to get to know each other better.

Have a good day, A+

I asked myself the question.

I think this could help with meetings, but on the other hand, I'm afraid it might compete with forums.

It's a lot of work to set up…

What do you think?

Hello Tom,

It would be nice if you added a mini-chat, like a ticker, visible to all members from the forums or the homepage, to say hi... That way, you can see the mini-messages without competing with the forums per se.

The chat can also be used to have more intimate discussions among members, but for now, the mini-chat is more friendly… Right?

Hello

Competition at the forum? I don't know.
But I notice that I’m the first one who doesn’t dare to send messages to the other members; I thought a chat would make discussions among members easier.

A+, have a good weekend.

I see what you are talking about

A box where you can talk about anything and everything, and it's visible to all members, right?

What I meant to say is that something like this is doomed to disposable conversations, and if we talk about clairvoyance and so on, there will be no more conversation in the forum.

Do you understand?

Yes, that’s exactly it, Tom, it’s the kind of thing that’s visible to all members…

But, on the contrary, I think that disposable conversations, as you say, will mostly be small talk to say hello, and that’s not what could overshadow the forums, because this kind of gadget isn’t meant for long exchanges or for delving into clairvoyance topics…

So, this must remain strictly friendly.

Bye Tom.

It’s a kind of messaging system, like discussion threads, but just the thread with the person’s username.
I saw this on another site, and there’s message after message, just to say hello, let’s have a coffee, something casual, you know.

I can send the link to Tom via DM if he wants.

You can post it here (the link) by putting a - in front. e.g. -www.voyance-az.com

Actually, we don’t really know what you think, Tom…
You don't seem to be for it, nor really against it.

It's not easy to get a handle on you because you run a clairvoyance website, but you seem quite detached from all that...

A good idea would be for regular VAZ'nautes to introduce themselves in a section dedicated to that purpose, so as not to know everything, but at least a minimum so that it is… less cold!

It's just an idea… Bye! 8)

I’m not posting it here: this site isn’t French-speaking; I just shared it as a technical reference and to help with the coding, as a source.

Here, I just added a “shoutbox” to the site for testing.
This small box is only visible to members and allows live chatting.

It seems to be working! I look forward to your feedback.

Hello Tom,

I think the idea of the "shoutbox" is excellent, as it allows each member who wishes to do so to express their current state of mind in one or two sentences, which of course facilitates contact and mutual support among members.

Friendship
The magician.

I saw that someone mentioned a treadmill

What is it?

Do you think we should change the location of the shout box?
Put it at the top, for example?

It's meeee! ;D

A conveyor belt is a mini-Chat that automatically scrolls through the last 10 messages in a loop (or according to settings…), and you can also check the history (if you missed a response or something else…).

Yes, at the top is better because you can immediately see who left a message... And besides, people who come to the site and don't know about it might not think to check all the way down the page...

I saw that the shoutbox scrolls through the last 10 messages, right?

NAN…

But it's very good the way it is… Thank you.

No, I think there’s something that can be done… If you have an example on another site, I’d be happy to take a look.

Hello everyone!
I'm just discovering this chat after getting back from vacation!
Well done, Tom, for the extra work. It's a nice touch, and it lets us say hi if we happen to be on the site at the same time.
But it’s true that at the bottom of the page, it’s not necessarily visible.
Maybe on the side with the horoscope so it’s always there… We’ll see.
But already good
Good evening

That seems like a good idea to me.

We're trying below the horoscope.
