Migration to new codebase

chat feature is Lichess, real time, live

Have fun mephos. If you manage to write a web chat application, be it based on IRC or not, then I'll definitely embed it in lichess.

I can tell you from experience that coding a real-time chat is a lot of fun!

Why is the public chat feature gone? You definitely need some kind of public chat window like the site had previously, even if the text is mostly nonsense. It brings a sense of communication and community to the site. I would even allow Anons to see the chat window as this would entice them to create an account.

We can have one main chat window where the public can talk to each other, and also have "team chats" where the text is color coded. Also make it so you have to type a symbol like ";" or "/" before your text to speak in a specific team chat.

Bummer!
Your browser supports websockets, but cannot get a connection.

Maybe you are behind a proxy that does not support websockets.
Ask your system administrator to fix it!

#43, see the previous page for ideas.

But as of yet it will seem in the meantime, we must go by group chats.

You will have to pick a team/social group to join to have a chat with the players there.

Until then there is an IRC channel, but there is not enough people referred to it at this time.

I am also having websockets problems. I tried restarting browser and Windows. I am getting this error in latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer and even tried Opera too. I don't used to get this error. Yesterday, before migration, there was no error and played normally. I think it is related to migration to new code base.

Please correct this bug.

Thank you.

So I.

Hey guys, i'm not sure if its a temporary bug while you're upgrading the site, but I cannot play games or accept others games. I get the same result when I log out and try as anonymous. All I see is "reconnecting" in bright red, but nothing changes.

running the former mainpage chat on a separate webpage would be fine (and easier to read), but as remarked earlier there's a sense of community when there's a live chat available for the site (which is gone now). add me to the list of those missing it.

as is typical, barely 1% of the audience (ever) participate in such sitewide chats, yet, about half do read the messages and it's nice to know we could post any old time there (trivial as such posts usually are most of the time)

ah! "author" means poster (I suppose we're expected to be honest about who's posting). Well, the post querying "which author?", was by babasaheb
