The Cbox (chat box) on the right of the forum was previously just a shout box, meaning no auto refresh to see the latest chat post.
It's now been upgraded to auto refresh and is truly a realtime chat program now.
You can register you username on the chat by typing in your username and then clicking on PROFILE. If someone steals your boardname, let me know and I'll fix it.

and, as a side note, the "view in separate window" URL works wonderfully in mobile browsers for keeping you updated on scores on the road when pointstreak is not working.

I'll be sure to keep it updated for the smart phone users.

On gamedays I've created a feature on the chat where I can keep up-to-date scores that stay in place at the bottom of the chat window. It will auto-refresh every 30 seconds. This should be a good feature for mobile browsers.

This should be a good feature for mobile browsers. I haven't heard back from cbox support yet, but I suspect the auto-refresh script I used for the scores might've been too much for the program and that's why it overloaded yesterday. This has nothing to do with the chat window auto-refresh btw (that's automatic), just the score script I created. Until the problem and solution are known, I'll forgo the score box on the chat and just go back to typing them in on the chat window and gameday boards.

that works out better anyways, as the scores never did show up on my phone, or Nook Color. (rooted android tablet)
I'm sure the chat will get hammered on Monday night with the whole league, minus me watching the game.

Ok, i'll chalk that score script up to a nice idea that didn't work then and keep chat just chat.

I agree too... it was a good idea though.
I like going back to see the run through of some games after the fact... so having it separate from the chat is nice.

Last night during the game I had the chat going on my phone and could read it during timeouts. This worked great (especially using the view in separate window feature) and was much easier to follow while at the game (compared to the game thread especially).
I chose not to post anything, but it was really nice to be able to see the commentary on here too. We didn't know that Kent didn't bring their kicker until I read it on here...
Thanks!

I'm glad it worked good on your phone, that's a reason it was developed. The nice thing I like is that recent discussion is always there, whereas other chats require you to logon and you only see new talk once you've logged on. This chat does have a feature where you can see who's online using it and I can require people to have to logon, but I actually like the setup as it is now.
