i think a shoutbox would ELIMINATE that, and anyways, whats the harm?lol, just somehting to give thought, its easy to just copy the script of one and put it in, try it out for a week and if we like it we'll kepep it!

I don't know change :think: Ugg me no like Boss me want stay same :P :D What the hay sure all of Mike's personalities who agree raise your right hand..................Well :twak: come on now >:( ;) :D :D :D
The decision is in the Bosses hands, so whatever happens I'm blameless :D

Crack?  Huh?  Where?  Am I too late?  :ahhh

Yeah Micky, that's the box on the left on KF.  It seems to have a certain following of it's own.

Hmmm, it could be worth pursuing, but does everyone really want me and Ben taking that over as well? :D

I always stay on topic.  :angel:

The basic consensus among the technical staff and myself seems to be that it's probably more of a pain to try and implement, even as a trial, than it would benefit the forum. 

Of course, I am open to any convincing arguments, so by all means, feel free to make any points you think are valid.  We are also looking at a redesign on the forum in the coming months, and it may be possible to include it there, so I am not writing off the idea- just a "not right now" thing really.

A shoutbox is more immediate, but that's about it, eventually topics roll off and are not accessible. That is a definite minus towards a shoutbox if you ask me. I'm betting most people here have some IM of some sort, and if you really need to speak to them realtime, you can always PM and request it...
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

And that Sir is the answer to the $64 question :D I would say that is the opinion of most of the ppl here (or so I am guessing)  we are in so many different time zones around the world that the way it is set up would be the only practical way for all of us to interact with one another in a timely manner   :D  Plus I just like the thread post format of the forum ::)

what might be useful is a quick reply mod to the forum... perhaps after the upgrades are in place...

We have a few upgrades coming- mostly behind the scenes stuff to make the forum run better, and some nuts and bolts to make it easier to navigate, and some fancy stuff to make it look a little nicer.  Nothing really spectacular, just fixing a few leaks and slapping on a coat of paint really.

When you click "reply" it is in the list of smileys that appears above the box where you type.  Just click on it and something like :smileyname: shows up in your post.

I don't think we'll be doing it any time soon, as we have some other upgrades that need to be priorities.  It is an idea maybe to pursue down the road a bit.
