Chat Windows

I was wondering if you could implement chat windows for the forums? The inbox deal is great for messages, but what if you need something quick and on-the-fly? I've seen other forums with popup windows for private messaging and I thought it was a great feature.

There are plenty of scenarios that this feature would come in handy for, so I was wondering if this would be something viable?
 
That'd be pretty awesome. Unfortunately it would be extremely hard to integrate it for now (unless we use an external chat software like others use, similar to the Facebook chat bar right?)

Conversations update in real time and chat is quite fast... but I understand what you mean.
 
Is the facebook chat bar really considered external? Hmm, what's the uhh forum control panel you guys use for this forum? I might do some digging.

Forum control panel? You mean software? It's called Xenforo. :)

The Facebook chat bar isn't external, that was just an example. Some forums have a bar similar to that (which is external) and in my opinion it just seems out of place. :\
 
Well that wasn't hard to find. I just googled "Xenforo chat" and the first second link is about a free chat plugin. Maybe you could give it a look? :P

That's what I mean by external software. Maybe it's a good idea, not sure. We'll probably have to get rid of the shoutbox then, right?
 
Hmm, well the shoutbox is great for random chatting. I meant this link. I'm not sure if it has a general chat. The screenshot seems to show that it does, but I don't know.
 
Yeah, but that's still considered external, lol.

I'll see what I can do though, maybe it's a good idea. :)
