In line with the NF4 release plan, I'm happy to announce that the new Chat page is ready for primetime.

The new Chat page is now integrated with our forums accounts. If you're logged into the forums, you're logged into the Chat. As a result of this, the new Chat page uses your forum username and avatar. There's also an online list that's mostly working and blip sound that plays when a message is posted while you're not currently viewing the Chat page (minimized window or in another tab). Oh! Aaaaanndd, it works on your phones and tablets. Have fun!

Can we have the page search option back, where you would type the page number while in a topic and it would take you to the particular page. That was pretty helpful.

The anonymous chatters need to go. I think in order for you to be in the NF chatroom, you must have an account here.

At the very least they need to have different anon names. Right now when one post, it shows up as anonymous even if there is more than one posting at a time.

I agree with that but there was a troll running around last night in the chatroom and mocking people. At least the mods and admins should have the ability to kick or ban someone from chat.

Yea. Unless there's really no way for us to ban anon users from what I can see.
