With that news, clearly it is good. There is no downside at all.

Sounds a great feature.

i just personally think it's an alround good idea, my dad uses Facebook which has it on there, and it works a treat

Ok gang, how do we configure noscript to block ads and the meebo chat cluster without blocking the chess pieces on the chess.com pages?

Is it possible?


Yes, you press the NoScript symbol (blue or red S letter depending on whether its on or off) on the bottom right of the screen and it lets you choose which pages to allow and which to block. For the pieces to be seen, you need to allow chess.com and chesscomfiles.com, other can be block if i'm not mistaken. To block the chat, you will need to block meebo.

Here's how it looks from my computer:

Your response is far from instant....

yes

I'd go for it.  If it becomes a problem could we get out of the deal with meebo quickly or would we be locked in?

Looks like this feature is now  a fact. I don't mind it, as you can turn it off for everything but your home page.

If you want to remove it, click your friends bar, and then set your status to "sign off chat". Then just Click the down arrow that appears in the bottom right. :)

No, if we wanted to instant message we would go to MSN or maybe even live chess but not on chess.com forums.

What is it doing ?  Always trying to log on? Or showing as

You are offline. Go online

Meebo appeared on my compy for the first time today..  GOOD LORD this is obnoxious!

Avatar of kohai

If your meebo shows as  ' xx Friends online' - go to the top of that list and use the drop down box to change from 'available' to 'sign off chat'.

Once you've signed off, the 'Hide'  bar as shown above will appear

maybe change a bit to MSN style though?

Avatar of glarbl_blarbl

I'd like this better if you could tie it to an external chat program, e.g. ichat or trillium.  I've been searching around here and on meebo, but haven't seen anything about this idea.  So I have the bar turned off for now.

If anybody knows how to do it I'm all ears (eyes)!

Thanks
