Chat Box

If possible, can we put a chat box at the bottom of every place like The Café, Announcements etc etc. Under every page place the chat will be that topic. E.g. If you're in announcements or any other place, there will be a chatbox at the bottom. At the main page, the chatbox would be just for small talk.

Thats to many then. Instead of the 3 people that post you need to find people in the different chat boxes. It is easier with just one.

i think it would be better if the one chat box was on every page instead.

There's a good reason why it's not. Although I don't know what it is. It won't happen though.

maybe it will slow down the site?

It would

We had that feature, it was removed =/
Most likely because of the space it was using, but providing we have a new server it's worth a try to see what happens i guess.
Or better yet, why not just have an exta tab open?

Nope, the chatbox will have to load at every page, it will just increase server load and nothing else because each and every guest and member browsing any page of the forum would have chatbox refreshing which can be quite server intensive plus I don't want everyone to just use the chatbox and post less, thats why it will only be in the main page and thats final.
