Mini chat is now live on the main forum page.

I'm not sure the mini-chat is a good idea, 1. it means more scrolling and 2. I think it'll be used to spam the forum and it seems to have zero moderation tools applied to the mini-chat!

Mini chat is now live on the main forum page. CSS issues will be fixed on the dark theme in a second...

hiya... using the dark theme; but, I'm not able to send a message...
or is a second not up, yet?

[sagi58]

I'll take that back, Stephen!!

I just checked using the "regular" colours and nada... nothing... niente... zilch... de rien...

Or... maybe it's just me?

[Stephen]

Hmm, I'll take a look Sagi.

I'll disable for now until we've ironed out some of the moderation issues (like myownalias spamming!).

Re-enabled, only admins can post URLs now.

I've checked your permissions and you should be fine - what browser are you using?

OK, it no longer converts to an A link but it still remains as text... will mods have power to edit/delete as necessary, or will that be admin only?

I'll get those permissions set now.

Try refreshing the page - ctrl+F5. I had the same issue before I refreshed.

OK, its working well now... it could be great for announcements like the pool being open for nominations.

Agreed. Btw, want to try and get that pool integrated into this website properly now?

OK, I think the simplest way would be to have something like pool.forumula1.com setup and give me FTP access to that directory to maintain the pool. We need a phpBB2 install as that's how it works. There are a lot of hard coded elements in the pool so I need FTP access, I didn't write the code and I don't have time to rewrite the code for phpBB3.

Could we get it linked to the logins with the site?

You read my mind. MOA - I'm happy to code this if you're happy for me to do so.
