Achat looks good, nice you converted it to blue Mamba. I see one issue in admin. There are two home buttons now, one of them leads to a function for deleting messages.

Yes, that needs to be fixed in the next release.

But we still have too many Chat modules, so we need to make a list of features what you like in each module, and what reasons do you have not to use a particular chat module, so we could maybe merge them into one, with all the good features and none of the bad.

So please those of you who actually are using frequently a Chat module on your website, please help us with testing the other modules too, and then provide us with the feedback.

I am busy building a reunion website so currently testing both Achat and Chat 2.1.

I prefer the look and feel of Chat. The input bar looks better and you can see who is online chatting, showing message time is also vital (Achat lacks). What I'd like to be added in admin:

* An option for purging messages (like Achat has)

* Choose between showing usernames or real names in the chat

* Changing the background color of the messages in admin instead of css.

Why not, but we need to know which module exist ?

Personally, I use :
.aChat
+ simple
+ way of answer (recent at bottom)
+ ajax
+ progressive disclosure for smiley and color personalization by user
+ archive
+ no online user (I prefer to use who is online system block of the site)
- need to go to admin to delete a post by id

and I tried :
.XIM
+ bottom bar presentation
- only one to one
- doesn't work very well in my case

.Shoutbox
- inverse way of answer (recent at the top)
- online user (I prefer to use who is online system block of the site)

I used :
.Khat (very old but very simple, a kind of aChat without ajax)
+ delete post directly in front-office when you are admin of course
- no ajax

I don't know Chat 2.1, what is the last version, where can i found it to try it ?

It's a feedback of many year so I don't try the last version of each one... I hope it can help

Default setting show message time only on hover of pseudo, but you can override template to show it directly, I did it

Making a module with an existing chat script would be nice too. This looks to be a very good onehttp://frug.github.com/AJAX-Chat/ Has far more nice features compared to the existing xoops chat modules I have seen.

Here is a demo:

Flipse: That appears to be the same ajax chat I have installed. It works well. But could use some xoops specific alterations.
