User blog:TheSURVIVR/Upgraded Chat

The Chat experience has been upgraded! To increase our Chat feature on the Surviv.io Wiki, we have included and made several upgrades that will enhance your chatting experience so you get the fullest out of communication.

As of December 12, 2019, the Chat has been upgraded. See the upgrades that have been put into place below!

Updates

 * Added Emoticons. Use an emoticon by clicking the button that says, "EMOTICON" at the top right of the chat panel. Choose an emoticon by clicking on it, then enter it onto the chat!
 * Added Pings. Pings are a thoughtful way of being notified whenever a new reply comes. You can customize Pings settings at the top right of the chat panel, by clicking the button that says "PINGS". This way, you'll never miss out on whatever is going on in the Chat!
 * Added Away. It is a one-click button that allows you to just click the button that says "AWAY" at the top right of the chat panel, and you are put on the status of being away. It will notify others that you aren't present for the chat at the moment.
 * Added Group Chat. Group Chat is basically a chat, but only this feature allows you to choose several other users to include in it. Users not included in it will not see it, and this is a private way of chatting with multiple users.
 * Added View Typing Users. Frustrated that you can't see who is typing or not? This will fix the problem. It will show up under the texting panel in bold letters so you'll never miss out on a message that might've been posted after you switched tabs.
 * Added Link Previews. Links that are posted on the chat also come up with a preview of the chat, much like the link previews in our discussions, when you post a link. This way you can see a preview of what you are going to see in the link.
 * Added Chat Announcements. This will allow you to announce the whole chat of what you want to make it have a bigger meaning to what you type. Chat Announcements will show up in the same format as if you just entered the chat! Use by typing in /announce and then the message.
 * Added Chat Whitespace Fix. This is just a set feature that will help stop spam. Hitting enter without text will only add a very little space underneath the last message, unlike the whole lines wasted before.
 * Added New Messages Count. This will show you if you are on another tab, how many new messages have been commented in the chat on the chat tab of the window. For example, if there are 12 unread, it'll display as, "(12) Chat".
 * Added Private Message Alert. Used in conjunction with the Private Messages feature, this will show up on the chat tab of the window saying, "New Message from UserName". This way, you'll never miss out on any private messages.
 * Added Chat Formatting. Got bored of the chat's dull text format? Well, you can change the color of the text! For example, try typing "[c="red"] Hello" and see what happens! It will show up, in red text, with the word "Hello".
