just a cpl of suggestions that i would think would make the chat room better.
1: perhaps an location indication next to anyone in the chatroom.
would make it easy to see whos near you and whos far from you.
2: perhaps an indication that would show the person is enguaged in a pvt chat session or in open chat.
would save you chatting to those who will not see it as they are already enguaged in pvt conversation.

Karrob,
item 1 - believe in planning
item 2 - hence the online, chatty and away statuses
item 1 - believe in planning
item 2 - hence the online, chatty and away statuses
Along the lines of what Karrob are saying, how about a room where those that go in have their whisper facility suspended so that the only place that you can chat is in the room. If you haven't contributed for 5-10 minutes then you are automatically kicked from the room and barred immediate re-entry for 10 minutes to allow time for others who want to chat to enter. If they want a pvt conversation then they can move to another room.

That would require everyone to have their Location Settings 'enabled' to allow the distance calculation. Some members for whatever reason, don't like to show their location. If this 'option' was removed, then members would start putting 'fake' locations in to retain their anonymity and the proposed suggestion would be useless....

A refinement on this Dave..
Set a 'session time-out' for 30 minutes in all rooms for users who don't type, with an 'over-ride' if their cam is transmitting.
That should remove all the silent watchers and generate enough space in the busy rooms for those that do contribute to the chat and encourage 'chatters' to actually chat!! :lol:

I'm not sure I like this suggestion of being logged out of chat if you don't type for a specific time period.
Imagine what would happen in the forums if people were logged out if they didnt post at least once an hour.
I join in conversations in the chatroom when I feel like I have something constructive to add to the discussion, but often I've got one eye on chat and one eye on something else (football, dawnie's ass, lunch etc) so would not be actively chatting.
Displaying additional information about the chatroom users would be possible, but only with the sacrifice of the chat window. Now I'm sure somebody is now going to tell me that the average line typed in the rooms over the next 3 hours is 27 characters long and so we could remove of chat window without any great loss, but is location the most appropriate information to add?
Personally if I wanted to meet somebody, distance would not be an issue. However should somebody be a smoker, or over a specific age, then next door might be too far away

a VOLUME slider/control for the cams would be nice.
The current 'audio on/audio off' choice really isn't dynamic enough.
yup i think this a good suggestion sometimes if you watching more than 1 cam and 2 people have the audio on it might be a case that one has really bad taste in music and the other sound rather good a erm... getting naughty ((blush)) not that i ever perv its apey that does that honest lol

I agree :thumbup:
We have had messages from people who have seen us in chat but dont like to join in. They got the gist of who we were though by watching us chat.
If everyone talks in a room then there is no chance people will be able to keep up with conversation.
I suggest though that if you are showing as busy for a prolonged period of time then you should get booted automatically. This is because in the more popular rooms, some people show themselves as busy for hours at a time, popping in and out all day (and night) just so that they can get back in when they decided to chat for 5 mins!! Does my head in that does!!
(I must admit at this point that I have done this a couple of times when I was coming back in half an hour, and then forgot I was still in the room until bedtime) :doh:

The suggestion of being booted is from "The Chatters" room. All the other rooms can have all the members sat there looking at a screen that doesn't move. This one specific room will have the automatic facility to boot after a certain amount of time only.
Hope that clears up the confusion about the suggestion. It wasn't for every chatroom, just one specific one.........Called "The Chatters Room". Now I wouldn't actually go in it as I usually just watch, after saying hello folks

ahh yes, the towel on the sun lounger manouvre.
Not trying to be a wet blanket (I agree it's a good suggestion) but with my limited knowledge of how these things work I don't think it's possible. As things stand there's an option to have a cam feed or not, and to have an audio feed or not. Adjusting the amount of volume that an application provides is usually done on the PC side, not at the server. Given the number of cam feeds there are, multiplied by the number of people watching them, if the server had to try to keep up with multiple variable volume settings too it would probably melt.
That said, I could be talking out of my orifice, so the definitive answer will have to come from the techie blokes who control the smoke and mirrors that is SH. ;-)

The cams already have an audio control button, but it only allows for a choice of 'on' or 'mute' rather than an audible level set by the user.
Not sure myself if it can be done, just saying it is currently impossible to have a cam open if its audio leeches over whatever else I might have open at the time.
tbh most people only listen to one sound source at a time,if the phone rings and im listening to telly or my tunes i mute the tv or hi fi to listen to the person on the phone.i frequently have music on whilst im watching cams,if people on cam have sound on i just mute me multiple sounds whatever the volume just merge to become noise.
