Hey Everyone,
Thanks to Chrome, we now have a brand new Chatroom for DGA. It's affiliated with proboards, so it integrates right into the board. There's no more need for IRC software, which I know was a little confusing or excessive for some.
All you need to do is log into DGA as normal, then click on the new Chat icon in the top menu bar next to logout. Will bring you to a page with a login window for chat. Just enter a username, please use your DGA or DGA nc name, then hit Login.
It's a very simple Java chat window. For now timestamps is not on by default, but you can turn it on for yourself with the clock icon. Also, 3rd from the right is the Float/Dock icon. Click that to open a separate window for the chatroom, kinda makes the border easier to see too. Must leave the page behind it open to keep chatting, but you can always File/open new window in your browser and leave the backup window for chat running if you want to chat & browse in another window. Can adjust font size if needed as well.
Another easy thing to do is instead of clicking the Chat button to get to that page, right click it and choose Open in New Window, then can login to chat in the new window and browse in the old one.
If have any questions about it or issues let me know. Everyone should try to use this new chatroom rather than the IRC one, as it is more accessible to those who don't have/want IRC clients and we can get more ppl actually coming in to make game setups and quick pickup games even easier. Leave the sound on and you will hear a sound when ppl enter as well.
