Title: Graeme. How hard would it be to incorparate instant messaging within forum?
Post by: Viper666 on March 30, 2011, 10:49:03 am

I know there are many sites for this but how hard would it be for if I notice someone is on line at the same time as me & I want to talk directly to them just, lets say, right click, or something, and "Ping" them.

I know at the moment if I click their user ID it takes me to their profile & I can PM them (I'm a bugger for not noticing them next to my messages) but I'm looking for something that just pops up & we can converse. We have this thing called communicator at work & it does just that.

So you can still be logging threads, replying, etc. but having a private chat at the same time? Maybe you could restrict it to ones that are on buddy lists?

Doubt it's possible in the forum, but there is such a thing on the Ning site. I turned that one off though cos it didn't take off. Still, might be possible to hunt something up, let me do some research.

Yep that Ning had it, but no one ever answered when you Chatted them.

ITs funny when your on the forum and your trying to catch someone, you can see them online, but the only way to catch them is to PM them , but then you have to hope they refresh the page, open another and then bother to look up before they log out...............  so would be cool tool.
