Description

First of all, great job as usual! ;)

That said, noticed a couple bits that I feel might be worth improving/adding:

(1) Time stamps for chat would be great to have so you know how long a message has been sitting there since it was sent.

(2) The notification ("chat message from...") when clicked currently does two things:
- It opens up the chat window
- It navigates to the diablo2.io landing page
The first part is obviously great as you get to the chat message that you're being notified about.
The second part however I would argue shouldn't happen. I.e. if you're say in a trade topic, get a chat, hit the notification, you'd want it to open up the chat window but not do anything else. You wouldn't want to also automatically be navigating out of that trade you're looking at, only to end up at the landing page.

(3) After undocking and moving a chat window, the new position is being remembered for the future. And that's great. Sadly though, it is only remember for that specific chat. Starting a new chat with someone else creates a new window not in the remembered chat location but in the default bottom left location. Would be great to be able to change the default/"global" chat window location for all of them.

Yep can add those - big miss!

Yep I'll get it to open chat window in the same page the person is viewing currently.

Yes it's per specific chat window ID. I don't think I can really find a solution to this - if I made all the chat windows respect the same custom window position, then they would stack on top of each other. If I made all the chat windows follow the 'stacking' approach from default positions, using the most recent chat window as the anchor, then in which direction would they stack? They'd end up wrapping if on the right side for example. Not sure this can be resolved without removing the ability to have multiple chat windows open at the same time altogether (like it is on mobile).

Yeah, I added that suggestion before having multiple open at the same time. Though personally I'd prefer a single window for all of them, be it tabbed or with name selection/nav. Otherwise you end up with a fair bit of site overlap with multiple ones open. But that may well just be a very subjective preference.

I suppose multi-window vs single-window-with-tabs could be a user preference?

Yeah could be.
Single-window approach wouldn't use tabs though, there isn't enough horizontal space for tabs. It would probably have to work like it does on mobile, with a single chat window displayed at any time, with new chat message windows overwriting the one user is looking at, and the Recent Chats window to select a different window to be the one displayed. Then the user could simply set a custom position for where the singular chat window should appear.

Hey all, does anyone know how to look up past chats? If say you are posting to someone’s trade, you can see history of your posts in that trade. If you message each other you can see the history of messages too. But if you run your communications by chat, is there a way to see past chats for a reminder of what you agreed with whom and for which trades?

If not, could this be a future dev point?

Tia.

Hey Aard - you can see the last 10 chats (with messages) by clicking the Recent Chats window (attached a screenshot) - you press the chat button in the bottom-right first - that opens the Recent Chats window.
If you're looking for older (than last 10) chats, you'll want to visit the profile, or one of the listings of, and open a chat with the person you're looking for from there.
Is that sufficient, or do you think we should have an alltime chat history page somewhere as well?

Partly answering my own question. I found a work-around. By tracking my watched trades, I can look up the other party by name, then when I click on their profile, and click the chat button, I can see the history of our previous chat. :-D

I wonder whether there may be a short cut in future for us to see our most recent 10 chats say, without having to trace each user?

Look for this button in the bottom-right of your screen.
When clicked it will show you your last 10 chats.

Thank you Teebling.

Sorry, i think your first reply answered the point in my second post! I think the 10 recent chats thing should be sufficient.. I’m mindful of not wanting to add to your workload by suggesting a longer term record of chats!

That said, your solution has allowed me to spot another issue. It took me some time with the help of your screenshot to locate the chat button. Reason is, it sits on top of the advert banner for some new game… (Wuxi’s, Where winds meet) I’m using iPhone safari for access and the chat button lies on top of the ad banner but I wouldn’t have seen it if you hadn’t highlighted it. Also, for some reason, even when I click on the chat button (atop the ad banner), nothing happens. I wonder if this is a problem with it lying on top of an ad, or with it being a mobile, or I phone safari?

Not sure what the consensus is, or what other users might say, and I know chat buttons usually appear near the bottom right so a logical place to have it. But I do wonder if having it in the main user menu eg. before/after messages would be more tidy?

Aards.

Ps. Thank you for the recent upgrades!

Edit. Name of ad game given, typo correction, and suggestion for placement of chat icon.
