Hi
I used the AG chat since before the Chatbar was introduces. I liked the PopOut window that allowed me to play the game in one window, and chat in a second.
But there are some issues that should be fixed.

1.) Writing a PM to someone in the same chat room you are.

^ Chat in a PopOut window doesn't allow to send PMes

^ Chat bar allows
It's strange that it works this way when you can popout the PM window too.

2.) PopOut PM window doesn't allow the same functionality that has the ChatBar

In Popout you can't block ppl that write to you or report ppl that Spam you...

3.) Online/Offline Status when you use Chatbar you have a friendlist that shows Online/AFK Friends, but People usign the Popout windows are Offline always, even when they are in the Chat writing, they are offline in the list.

4.) This probably should fall under suggestion more likely, but ChatBar cloned in all ArmorGames windows can be a bit annoying. I Usually have opened at least 2 AG pages, sometimes even more. I play ClickerHeroes idling to the next level, play LastStand and sometimes some more games at the same time. So having 3 copies of the chatbar is annoying.
So pls add/allow the minimizing of the chat bar on different pages opened at the same time.

@Qnopsik.
1. Close pm messages
2. Hard refresh
3. Close pm messages
4. Refresh

And following.. about your second thing.. it is a known issue..

About no multiple chats.. it is a known issue..
You can complain but there is nothing that can help.

Tried - didn't notice any difference. Could you be more specific what to refresh, tried the whole window, tried the popout pm, tried the whole browser... nothing works.
I'm assuming that it was supposed to be a solution to "3.) Online/Offline Status" in the PM List

And following.. about your second thing.. it is a known issue..
You talking about the no options button in PMs? (thats the second thing in the post) Hmmm I tried to search it in forum and didnt got any hits, so maybe my skills are a bit rusty, could you point me to any post thats discussing it?
As for now couple of ppl, contacted my saying nice post, so seems it's not a "known issue".

I was thinking it's a matter of forgetfulnesses, why the button for option wasnt added to the popout PM window. When you use popout pm -> You are authorized, you get new PMs from ppl, you get the info about the new messages, and as Popout chatroom shows adding option for specific users (report / block) is doable.
So I was thinking it's only matter of copying the code from chatbar pm to popout pm, or from popout chatroom to popout pm, and adding the button only...

About no multiple chats.. it is a known issue..

Also didnt get any hits, may you link something?
Also i was sure it's not something to be a problem, instead of global "max/min" (or additionally to it), add a page specific flag, it doesn't need to be saved for later use, it can be added to the script loading of the chatbar - like a state minimaized/maximized. The default value could be the global flag value.

You can complain but there is nothing that can help

So for me all the points from my initial post where a matter of polishing the User-interface, and not something to waste hours of coding , but if thats not the issue, and there are really problems with implementing it, pls state its this way.
