Chat suggestion
Hi,
I am going to do some work on the Forum software in November/December (updates, audit stuff, etc), and one of the things I was thinking of doing was integrating a chat page.
This would be linked into the forum membership (you log into the forum, and you can participate in the chat), and all messages would be archived and accessible.
This way if there was inappropriate behaviour it could be dealt with in same way that issues are dealt with on the forum (with innapropriate behaviour being reported to a forum in the same way as spam is now).
It is just an idea, please let me know what you think.
Cheers
John de Murga

Let me quote Wikipedia:
And yes, chat is a good idea but I'm sure #puppylinux won't die anytime soon.
I know it's a very big effort because of the ancient version used on the forums and number of posts, users and whatever, but I still think phpBB deserves an upgrade after all these years. Newer versions make it easier to integrate stuff (chat plugins, portal stuff, CMSs) and provide better spam protection.Stable release 3.0.7-PL1 (March 5, 2010; 7 months ago (2010-03-05)) [+/−]

I tend to agree it is a step in the right direction.
That is if it does not slow up the rest of the forum as I have often been logged out while online with all unread messages being marked as read when I logged in again.
Sometimes, I would log in, go to reply to a post and when I would hit the Submit button, I would be told I had to log in to post a reply.
Could it be that the forum is logging me out if it seems I am inactive for a certain period of time?

I think its an excellent idea, is it going to be text only or maybe with sound? Yahoo chat has had sound for like 10yr+, I think that would be a great addition. Oh by the way I met my wife on Yahoo chat Australia 10yrs ago, lol
I was using an old acer aspire 233mmx with 64MB of memory and windows 98se, heck back then there was so many windows virus you could get away with low specs, I used to talk live, have video chat and play online yahoo games with her all at once with that pc and it ran great. funny now we need 46 billion dollar fiber optics's upgrade across Australia to do same the same thing I did 10yr's ago +, lol
Anyways looking forward to the update and thanks ever so much for what you provide for the puppy project

Thank you very much. Looking forward to the results. I would like to help if I can but I also must get on with my GCSEs badly . So I probably will have to say no to some things.

this sounds like a good idea however, how would it be implemented on the page?
would it be like click this link to connect to and irc server?
or would it be an actual box in the forum that you could see at all times
also, while some like sounds with chat, some don't want a popping noise all the time *cough me cough* so i f you do it would it be too hard to put a sound toggle on/off switch in there?

No chat possible feasible? We did have one previously. So convenient. Even just a link to this on the forum page would be great . . .

Hi what a good idea instant chat i think if it was say like facebook that mini chat a little box at the bottom of the screen great would be good.
Like a 'shoutbox,' perhaps? I haven't seen too much favorable opinion toward those, but I can't be sure.
I'd rather have a proper live-chat page, if anything. Still have to get around to actually bothering to try to learn IRC, one of these days. Maybe.

..but the newsgroup format can serve well and especially so for testing. In the simpler forms it's remarkably efficient and tends to be 'self-policing'. Less immediate than chat but still quick, members realize up front that it is public and by nature logged. Threads can and do branch but it's still 'tidy' - compact and should be easy to do on mobile devices. Security is easy as well (I'd recommend something a lot like CECIL as used by the GRC ngs if a puppy.* ng service is implemented). About the only drawback is many members may not be familiar with an 'old-fashioned' newsgroup format.
just an idea - and oya, it'd make a great in-house backup for when/if the forum goes dowumm, best not tempt fate

Foreign-Language Display Capability for Browser Linux
2013-10-31
I have been using Linux for a couple of years and my wife has been using Browser Linux since May 2013. It suits her just fine without the quirks and unreliability of a Windows O.S.
I would love to see Browser Linux enhanced with a foreign-language display capability as many websites are bi-lingual. I am sure that such a feature will undoubtedly be welcomed by many B.L. users. Thus far I've given away many B.L. CDs to others.
Can anyone tell me how to add such a capability to Browser Linux? Thanks.
