Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-27150398-20180217073922

To make it easier for people to take in all the information about the new wiki features I will be posting said information in two different threads, this thread will obviously be on the Chat features and next one will be on the new Wiki ones. Without further or do let's get started.

Send, AFK and Clear Buttons: The Send button allows you to send messages without having to press enter, AFK or (Away From Keyboard) makes the word "Away" appear next to your name and can be used if you quickly need to stop using the Chat room but don't have time to click on a status in the status box.
 * Note: I have not included Binary in my explanation as I am planning to remove due to the chance of it being used as a spamming tool, until then I would prefer if Binary WASN'T used in Chat (expect in PM's) due to the previously stated reason.

Emoticons button:Brings up this wiki's list of Emotes directly in the Chat so they can be used more easily.

Ping Phrases: Once you type in a certain phrase (e.g. BigtheCat) a fairly loud "KOODUNG" noise will be made whenever anyone types in said phrase, in order to notify you that you are being called, however it is important that this feature is only used when you need to urgently need to talk to a particular otherwise it can be quite annoying for the user if the feature is constantly being abused.

Chat Rules button: Takes users to the Chat Rules section of the Rules and Guidelines.

Status button A small button in the top right-hand corner that allows users to select a status in order to inform other users that they are busy.

'Is typing' Notifies you who is typing in the Chat.

Give Chat Mod: Allows Admins to easily make users Chat Mods, to clarify while the Box may appear when ChatMods/Discussion Mods click on a particular user's name only Admins actually have the ablity to promote the users to Chat Mod status.

=== '''The following features can be accessed in the Options box''' ===

Font Family: Changes all the text in Chat to a particular font.

Search Bar: When enabled, allows users to search the wiki without having to create a new tab, once you've clicked enter a tab will be created and you will either be taken directly to the page or be shown the results of your search.

Sidescroll bar feature: When enabled, if someone spams, the bar to scroll to the right won't appear.

Multi-Kick: When enabled causes a Multikick box to appear in your text box which allows Chat Mods, Discussion Mods and Admins to kick multiple users at once after they have typed said user's username in the box.

Colour Customiser: Allows users to customise the colour of their text, the Chat background, the edge of the Chat interface and their post background.

Multi-PM: When enabled will cause a PM button to appear in your textbox, once you've clicked on it, type in the names of the users you wish to PM with no spaces in between the commas and hopefully all users you have included in the PM will be able to see it.
 * Note: This feature can be a bit glitchy so don't be surprised if it starts to play up.

If you have any questions please post them down below and Either me or Withersoul 235, (the user who recommended these features to me) will do our best to answer them.

I hope you enjoy these new features.

Big out.
