Chat box/title length

The chat box being at the bottom of the forum sort of buries it. Of course if you put it at the tope it looks cluttered. I found a program that you can embed in an html page and add to your nav bar for free that will help with that, and as it is a seperate page it won't detract from your forum posts. There is a good free voice prog for that too, it even has a type-to-voice translator, if you're interested.

Also, if you go to Administration Panel>General>Messages and Emails>Configuration then scroll down to the topics box you can change the topics title length so you don't have to use 10 characters in the title. Might help to keep things simple for users.

The chat box on the forums? that is not an issue. It is not needed and was going to be removed, but it does have some uses. It's not at the top because on some peoples browsers it destroys the width and sizing, but thank you for pointing that out

and your complaint of the size of a message topic is put in place so people wont just put post like "lol" "blah" or whatever one word comes to their mind
