For those who used to be regulars on the old FT chat, there's an alternate chat at the moment until IB comes up w/ one:

http://mibbit.com/?channel=%23flyert...irc.mibbit.net

Normally it doesn't get going until 11pm eastern time USA time.

Exclamation NOTICE: chat is offline
The software that powers FlyerTalk Chat is no longer. While we implement a new chat platform with exciting new features, chat will be offline for several weeks. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The recent thread dealing with Chat problems, Chat Problems [master thread: Apr 2012 - Nov 2014 version] has been unstuck, but can still be read.

A new thread dealing with questions and issues relating to the upcoming Chat system will be opened when the new Chat is implemented.

Is there any point in trying to discuss the features we most want in chat, other than it being reliably functional, or has IB already made those decisions?

Unless they are creating their own chat app (which I really doubt, since that's a lot of hard work and generally not worth it), they will get an off-the-shelf product like the Envolve product was. Envolve was really simple -- there weren't even emojis! -- and that wasn't a bad thing. As for other options though, the usual case is that the fewer options it has, the cheaper it will be, and the lower the likelihood of something going wrong.

If FT wants to make the IRC room Ripper3785 came up with a final solution and make him the impromptu chat operator, I wouldn't mind that... although a permanent ban function would be greatly appreciated (some of you know what I'm talking about ).

Thanks. I've not been a user of chat for some years, and was away for a bit. I'll amend my post.
