The chatbox is a feature on the Spacetime forums that allows you to chat virtually with other forum members. I use it all the time, when I am bored, when I get talked to, when I am down, its the ideal place for just about everybody.

Are you tired of going on safari to chat on the chatbox? Would you like a fully functional chatbox on the mobile app? Then this is the idea for you!


Please could the mobile app developers discuss this, as it will make me and a whole lot of forum users much happier. Cheers, skeletonlord.

So are you saying it Vbulettin only made it available for the full PC version? I would need to speak to them then about it?

It's not made by vBulletin, it's a 3rd party plugin. http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=235271 That's part of what makes vBulletin a cool forum platform, they have a great plug-in system for 3rd party plugins.

What's wrong with going to safari to use the chatbox?

Take the Dark Legends hangout that happened recently. You gave me a address in the chatbox (I was on safari) and I was trying to copy a link into my other iPod and more people were chatting. The chatbox kept on moving and the screen moves as people are chatting, so I have to keep scrolling up to find your message.
