User blog comment:Ohmyn0/What's Going on with Chat/@comment-118323-20110603170950

Just a quick update of what we've been working on for the past couple of weeks: We worked on stabilizing the frequent disconnects and other bugs. Here are some other items we recently fixed and released:


 * Banned users are blocked from chat
 * Bug fix: A user appears in the userlist multiple times.
 * Bug fix: Some messages are sent (or are posted) twice.
 * Anons should be able to see the chat.
 * We now identify moderators and staff members with an icon
 * Ability to make a moderator within the chat window
 * Timestamps
 * Right-rail entry point hover on avatars (for now, it is on click)

We're going to iron out some issues with the entry point hover and finalize a much-requested feature - private messaging - before we release it into Labs later this month. I've been updating our Chat page as we push new fixes and features.
