Marc's new Messenger

I'm sure all of you reading this have noticed the "Who's Online (X)" (X = some number) tab in the bottom right of you screen.
This is the new Messenger I think Marc is replacing the Sb with.
The only problem I see with this is that it shows people online that you follow. Although that is the only con I see, and the pros outweigh it so much :D
Pros:
  • Instantly PM someone you follow who is online
  • See if they are Available or Busy (you can also set your status to Offline or Invisible)
  • The thing with the status ^
  • Emoticons
  • You can keep tabs on your peoples and instantly get notified if they reply
  • See how many people are online or visible to MSG with
  • You can even play a game like chess or checkers, add a smiley, hamndwrite a message, or clear the chat!
Cons:
  • Cannot MSG people you do not follow or are invisible/offline
All in all, I personally love this new messenger! I do not know if it will replace the Sb or co-incide with it, or if it is temporary, but I love it! :D
THANK YOU MARC!!

Very nice! Nice job!
It also kinda looks.. too normal, and boring imo, and maybe some customization could be added, but idc it's a really cool feature that marc has added! :D

Amazing. Shout box was a great way to talk to people but this new messenger should also be a great tool

It's very nice and efficient , though it could use a little tweaking of its features ;)

Haha I agree with thanking Marc, it's great.

It isn't replacing the shoutbox >.<'

Plus it's currently still in beta. After the shoutbox gets restored, I plan to integrate this site's smilies into it, add avatar support and I'll probably remove invisible mode. The handwriting function doesn't work yet too cause the upload directory for it needs some tweaking.

Nice, you summed everything up well. There are also a few cons I noticed as follows:

- User tabs often merge when a chat notification is received
- Unable to send a message via drawing canvas

I see what you mean. I can draw it, but hitting send doesn't do anything. Hmm
Also, I do not understand what you mean by merging, as it hasn't happened to me.

Nice :D

The smileys are a con in my book though. :P
