Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not digging the new improved chat feature. I liked the way we had it before where it just showed up on every page and you could go to it's own page if you wished. The pop up box is unruly and forgettable. Rather like the new "more" feature on Twitter that replaces "older" making it harder to backtrack through Tweets.
I Think it Sucks! When it loses connection it clears all posts, It truncates messages, You can't have it as a Widget, It's not resizeable (yet).... they are updating it soon, but it will stay essentially the same. As I mentioned before, you can have it in the Chat Tab if you change (In the Manage Tab) the Chat Tabs URL to: http://pownce2.ning.com/chat/index/popOutWindow .... Though it looks really Naff! .... Cheers.
