Hi, all, we just completed three significant changes to the chat rooms, all designed to make chatting easier for you and moderators!
First, the live chat viewing window has been moved to the top of all chat pages primarily to reduce the amount of scrolling needed to moderate the chats. To do this, the chat descriptions had to be diminished on the site - but they are still there and accessible to you!
So now, for instance, when you click on a chat room, like this one for Tunde's upcoming chat, you will not immediately see the chat description. But to see it, all you have to do is click on the dark blue information, aka "i", icon at the end of the chat title and it will appear in a pop-up.
The pop-up will stay open as long as you don't move your cursor off of it. So to read the full description, you may need to use the down arrow on your keyboard to scroll down.
Second, the length of the chat viewing pane has been enlarged considerably, so you can see more of the live chat without using the right hand scroll bar to move the chat up and down.
And lastly, the post box (question entry area) has also been expanded and will automatically scroll down and expand as you type, so you can see more of what you're writing as you write. Further, if you drag down on the double gray lines in the bottom right corner of the box, you can expand it even more.
I think these changes are a great improvement and will make our future chats flow more easily! Thanks again to the Hoop.la team for responding quickly to our suggestions here. Any questions, just let me know.
