Chat Plugin Has Been Installed

[Whoops]

Will work over the weekend to dial in settings. Feedback welcomed.

There are other Chat options, too. I am sure we will ultimately adopt the right Chat tool with help from all the members. This one is recommended by the MyBB Developers but lacks a Member to Member private chat function. Rather, it was built for commenting more on posts. Please share your thoughts any way you prefer. Plugins can be turned on and off with a button whenever we reach consensus. David

I like that you are testing new forum functionality. The chat is an interesting feature, though I am trying to figure out how it would be used. Does it have a limit on how long or how many messages are kept? Is there a way to search chat history for useful information that gets posted there instead of forum threads? If there is an time expiration or count limit, I think I would rather see people post in threads so the history is there for others to see. In that respect it seems like it could be a bit redundant to posting in forum threads. I would hate to see users post useful knowledge in chat that could expire and be lost rather than archived in a relevant thread.
