How does chat work?
|
kesaiserris,
Is the chat feature ready yet?I haven't used it, but others in GMF have posted about it. /g/GroupManagersForum/search?q=chat If so would you consider putting a more obvious button so that oneGMF is a user-to-user group, no one in GMF works for 开云体育. The official "suggestion box" is the beta group: But I would suggest waiting a bit to see if anyone here replies with more knowledge of chat in 开云体育. The official Help page has nothing about Chat yet, so a member here has started some notes in our Wiki. I don't think it answers your questions, but it is a start. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Chat-Overview Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

I was able to start a chat no problem. One of my members responded to the chat and I was able to read her response via my email but when I visit the group itself I only see my initial post.If you received an email from someone it's because that person posted an email. That person did not respond using the chat function. I see that two additional members have joined but have no idea if they have responded as I didn't receive an email and cannot view the chat in its entirety. I see absolutely nothing to click on to open up the chat.If you actually succeeded in creating a chat, it should be listed among the open chats in your group. It is also entirely possible to join a chat and not post to it...and people often do that, just to see what's going on. Is the chat feature ready yet? If so would you consider putting a more obvious button so that one could view responses? Will all responses go to my email? Is email the only way to read the chat?Chat activity does not generate any emails. One must log into groups.io to initiate one, post to it, and return to monitor it online periodically.? You seem to be expecting to receive notifications like Facebook. Personally, I would not want groups.io to send me an email every time someone posts to the chat. But if that's the expected behavior, it is already available using normal group posts in conjunction with the "mute" and "follow" functions. Hope this helps, Bruce? -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Chat entries are not sent via email, they only show up within the chat.? I suspect the email you got was a reply to the announcement that a chat was started.? To participate, select Chats from the left menu on the group, then select the chat you want to join.? There's a box at the bottom for entering the information to post, then click Send on the right to add it to the chat box for all to see.? It's not fancy and could use some additions/changes, but works.

When I first started our group Chat was activated, but I turned it off so our members could get used to the new group interface first. Before I turned it off one member tried to use it, and I only found that out by accident several days later while exploring our group functions. Back in the day when I used to use Y chat I had a few favorite chat rooms, and I could see how many people were in them before joining in. These rooms appeared to be open 24 hours a day with some level of activity, mainly because there were so many people that liked these rooms. I haven't used chat in a couple decades now, and I think it might not be as popular as it used to be, because there are other, more interactive ways for people to get together. I think if I was going to use chat in our group now, I would first tell the group in advance through a post, that on a certain day, at a certain time of the day, a chat room would be open to talk about anything or something specific they might want to chat about. Chatting fell out of favor for me after a while, for the same reason I don't text with people today. I like to actually talk to people, not type to them in real time.

开云体育Eric,How about starting a new chat that we might use to road test the "chat" feature? Let's not use GMF for testing. Instead please use your own test group (or ) and report your findings back in GMF.
