Currently there are two errors that people encounter.

1. A blank page

2. Page displays error messages.

If you have any of these problems please state so. It would also be helpful if you can attach a picture of the error. If you are using Google Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + I (Windows) or Cmd + Opt + I (Mac) and go to Console tab. Make a screenshot of that too.

You can attach pictures here or send email to admin@foot-----.com

Thank you!

all's working well for me so far

No blank page anymore, seems to works well now !

Room working and looking great here, i'm running chrome :)

It's working. But:

1. it doesn't scroll down correctly at least in Chrome and Firefox. I think the scroll to last caret function works but not entirely (give it a little offset might fix it). The last entered text can't be seen unless you scroll down.

2. For the chat-viewport give it a little more width, the chat-viewport has a fixed width of 330px. It should be min-width cuz this doesn't take advantage of the wide screen side.

@tuan_jinn: not sure what you mean about point 1, but point 2 is valid. In the future release we will take care of it.

Point 1 is: in chrome, when I submit a new chat text, the chat-viewport stay in the same position and I have to scroll down abit to see the text.

I just tested it again and it works, really strange. So please ignore point 1

Actually, It doesn't work again, I will take screenshot

1. First enter some text to chat:

1. Hit "Chat" to submit text, the text is inserted "BELOW" and the scroll bar is not scrolling down automatically, you need to scroll down to see it.

It's not a show stopper, but if you want it to be natural and nice, It should be fixed.

Okay, I need to check it on Windows I guess. Because it auto-scrolls in Chrome on Mac. The way logic works is that if you scrolled up then it won't auto-scroll on new messages - it assumes you are looking up at the history. However, if your chat is scrolled all the way down then it assumes you are in chatting mode and want to receive all new messages, so it will auto-scroll for you.

ok i had the first glitch with the chat, at the moment the chat does not autoscroll when a new comment is written.

I hate the fact that as the chat goes on we have to scroll manually to see new comments. It should automatically take you to the newest comment. I dont like to be scrolling to read every single comment.

Hello, I think I'm not the only one who thinks that the chat is too small. I try to edit it a bit, maybe you will like it.

MY EDIT:

that^ looks nice. beside being more practical, it also fills the page taking away the empty space. empty space is perceived as lack of content most of the times by the users. also, in that way you can use the chat on smartphone on any browser.

@quikzyyy: nice mate, yeah, I mentioned earlier, the chat-viewpot is only 330px fixed. FR said they would upgrade that in the next release.

But if they do like what you suggested, making .ls-match-group-list 100% (the livescore block) and the chat-viewport 100%, then in case of long livescore matches, user might find it annoying to scroll way down to chat.. or even miss the chat entirely (cuz they might be too lazy to see it). So that's not enough. To make it user friendly this way, they will have to add some kind of minimizing feature etc..

@Footyroom: in most browser the chat box when this page is loaded is at 0 index (initial scroll), it would be better if it's already scroll to the bottom, to see the latest chat messages.

I would like to see some more stats in the Chatroom and maybe put some of the preview stuff in there.

so I think it looks nice and works well, except for that scrolling down thing that happens from time to time. As for how to make it even better here are my suggestions :

• like some other said, maybe add some basic stats/game events. Goalscorers and goaltimes, inuries, cards, possession, shots, shots on goal.

• if people on here are familiar with twitch tv, it's a videogame streaming website, the chat is a HUUUGE thing. What makes the chat awesome is the smileys. So maybe add some smileys, the classic ones :) :( :'( :/ :D etc, but what would make it awesome instead of great is if we had custom footyroom smileys. Like a yellow/red card thing, a football, a mourinho face, a wenger face, a rooney face, a howard webb face, a cristiano face, a goal!! smiley, a offside flag smiley, crests of teams, a platini face, an oil baril, an abramovic face, etc etc. Possibilities are endless.

• when someone connects to the room, have a message pop up saying *KingHenry has entered the ChatRoom*, that way we know when someone's here and we can greet him.

Right now is the best time to do all that testing, with the world cup and the 3 games we have almost everyday. I really like chatting during games, and if FR manages to start a trend during the summer, we'll be back in the room when season starts.

this is the kind of smileys/emotes I'm thinking about :

that grin though

the rage inducing bus emote

nice oil money

(this is rooney btw)

the chat would get really colourful, and the possibilities are endless !!

quote tuan_jinn:
"user might find it annoying to scroll way down to chat.. or even miss the chat entirely (cuz they might be too lazy to see it)."

yes you're right, perhaps in this case would be handy the idea i wrote in the Chatroom names thread, making the chat reachable by link, so at that point also the name dilemma would be solved because we would have both links on top:

Live Scores would bring us at the page the usual way, clicking on Chat/Lounge/Whatever tho', would bring us still in the livescore page, but already scrolled and positioned on the chat box:

@King
good stuff :D

A few other things I've thought about :

• A real time voting system !! so have a voting system for live games kinda like in the previews, where you have Team 1 wins - Draw - Team 2 wins as possibilities, and have people vote. But as the match progresses you can change your vote. You can display the vote results in real time, and see the results change as the match goes on.

• A slow mode for the chat, this is something they have on twitch chat as well, to help the mods, when they activate slow mode you can only send a message every 30 seconds for example. That way when the chat is getting out of hand you can control it better. And when people can only talk every 30 seconds they are more careful with what they say.
