So, I know there are mixed feelings about the chat but for now I would like to continue using it. I have addressed more of the lag issues that were happening. If they continue throughout the year we may well switch back to topics rather than chat. We'll see.
My goal was to combine the chat with a thread via code and it still is but instead of doing that in the off season I now have a baby boy so ... priorities and all
If I can get time I plan on going back to that project. I can already make the thread show up in the chat. Just not the other way around yet. Suffice to say it's a lot more tricky to add posts to the forum (add a post, add to the user's post count, add to the forum count, etc.) via code without breaking something than it is adding a line to the chat function.
Anyway, got off on a tangent there. Happy opening day everyone!
