Hi everyone,

The problem, by the looks of things will never be resolved. The chatbar is purchased software that is written in extremely messy code. The developer also seems to have slowed down on development, and the support is not great. The chatbar software is "the best" around, and thus gets used on The Reefuge.

The amount of work it would take to tidy the chat bar up would be longer than writing a new program from scratch, which is nowhere near a priority for the site. It will also be very costly as there are elements to it that I am not able to code.

When a release comes out it will be updated, but I fear it will not be for a while. This site is made for FireFox as in my opinion it is the best browser around.

Thanks.

Question - does anyone use the chat bar?

I'm a Chrome loyalist so unlikely to change to check it out, but just curious.
