So, the current chat just isn't working out right now. There's some awful bugs with it and as a result it just hasn't been effective since the site upgrade.
Right now, I'm casually looking around for other alternatives that would work on SMF. So far I found this one, but I'm not sure it will be all that great in terms of UI. It looks okay in terms of functionality but beyond that, ehh. It feels more like Facebook Messenger than a nice IRC type chat.
https://iflychat.com/installation/smf-chat-modWhat do you guys think? Anyone able to find any other options? What can I do to get people chatting again, because I know it's been super dead pretty much since we upgraded, and I kind of miss things. Did PSF steal everyone with any hint of social inclination???

Edit:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=4036 Another one with similar UI. Ehh. I see one for off-site logins meaning no security.

Siiiigh.
