MPGH IM Development Opinions | Phase 1

[nikazizi97]

I'm sure that the UI for the forum chat will be changed as well, but that's simpler to do since the embedded chat is supposed to be more minimal, since it is embedded after all.

Although this is going to be outside of the forum, it's still going to be relying on MPGH accounts the same way as now.

works as FB Messenger would be nice, in MPGH and outside forum.

Suggestions:
chat list - being able to read all previous chat whether unfriended or not
modern search bar - being able to search at least like whatsapp would be nice
theme - chat bubble is good but current or OLD version is nice enough

DARK MODE UI. Like ******** app UI on desktop with dark mode

I always used the chat with lots of pleasure ! Unfortunately it stopped working... does anyone know why and how ? External would be probably better.. not working for 2 weeks now.

Works right now. If you have problems, your antivirus may blocking it.

It'd be nice to add a note to users so you realize why you added them in the first place

Here's the next update after quite some time. Hopefully things can get moving again on this. Took most of the suggestions on this thread that were UI related that seemed to make sense and applied them.

The new IM is looking great. I appreciate MPGH putting IM on a very well needed dedicated server, and all the work put in so far. Especially looking forward to using this on my phone, for times that I'm not on my computer.


- Refresh button (Placed somewhere at the very top, possibly next to the Notifications bell)

- Multi-Line Formatting (So we can create nice lists) (Also, for this feature, don't make the button to create a new line "Enter", if you're going to make it "enter" make it Shift+Enter, I can't use the Send button everytime I want to send a message, that will drive me insane)

- Allow basic HTML formatting in chat, ep Bold, Italics, underline, Color

- Put a little box under the main header that has the Birder icon, containing some info about the person you're talking to. The pfp, username, status, last online/activity, also include a link that can open the users MPGH profile in a new tab.

- In that same box, put a little "Notes" button, which will open a new window allowing you to put various notes about the person. Please make sure to allow formatting as well in this box.

- In that same box, next to the "Notes" button, put a Bell icon with a line through it, representing the mute button. You can choose how long you would like to mute them, ep: 15min, 1hr, 12hr, 24hr and this will silence all notifications from that particular user for the time being.


These are all my suggestions for now, if I can think of anymore I'll post them here.

Seems like everyone has provided most of the actually relevant UI/UX suggestions so far. Also, the last update I posted seems like it's in a pretty good place.

Will get the mobile app UI/UX started soon and will post another thread about that later.

Thanks to everyone that gave suggestions.
