chat button on home screen

Post by N.ator »

if we can create a chat button on the home screen that links right to #smr that would be awesome!

(mainly for new players, if they want to check out the chat before playing)

What do you mean "home screen?" There is a link to chat. It's labeled "IRC Chat" under the requested a feature subset on the left panel. Maybe what we need is a rewording of the link and placement.

Make SMR CHAT as big as the current sector font and put it above the trader link or in that subset so it's easier to find.

That just sounds weird. Why would you have an irc chat button on the login page?

I don't see a problem with it. I guess I just don't see the benefit :P

Personally I think it makes more sense to be once you've logged in, but it definitely needs to be more prominent there.

I agree with Page. Did you see my suggestion of making it bold and bigger like Current Sector and putting it above the Trader link?
