Decide who members can instant message by having buddy lists display everyone online, or just online friends. Displaying everyone online encourages members to interact with one another.
The buddy lists on chat bars include icons for online status, as well as the profile pictures of each online buddy.
For those times when instant messages may be distracting, members can choose to go offline and can continue browsing your community, returning online at their leisure.
Members can join chat rooms for live group chats. Great for bringing all members together, community chat encourages new friendships and fresh discussions on topics that matter to your members.
Once enabled, members can instant message friends and other members via private, persistent chat windows while browsing your community.
Online members receive audio and visual notifications for incoming chat messages. This way, they’ll never miss an IM or chat.
