|
This may be a silly question, but I noticed when I browse the forum or request a track the chat disappears. I know I can undock the chat module, but would it be a problem to have the chat window on the other pages of the site? I wonder sometimes if the window will refresh past something I would be interested in while I'm doing other things.

Hmm... the chat was removed from the request page because of the focus stealing.
And in my opinion the chat should not be an integral part of the forum pages for these reasons:
- When reading the forum it is very distracting
- My screen has a maximum width of 1024 pixels (quite old screen, I know) and the forum pages now look good to me. If the chat is integrated the forum space will be too small and the length of the page will be too long (more page scrolling).
You could try this (if you have a screen with a width of more than 1024 pixels):
- use the undocked chat and have that on the right side of the screen
- do not use the browser window with the forum at full screen.

Don't forget you can also use the Log function (also available in the undocked) to get caught up if you miss something.
