Hello everyone, today I've been working on a live chatbox and I need someone (or multiple people) to help me test it.

I know what your thinking; “This guy's crazy! Cloud variables don't support strings!” but this is different, and here's why.

How this works is it prompts the user for what they want to say, and converts that in to a number so it can be stored in a cloud variable, and is converted back into text when someone enters the project. Yes, it sounds crazy, but I think it may just work.

So if you are interested in helping, reply to this post, and I will share the project and send a message and see if you can read it.

Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you.

EDIT: Help no longer needed.

Bump! Goodness, 60 views and no testers? Come on, guys, I really need help with this!

EDIT: Oh wait, I think that's just me refreshing the page.

If you mean chatroom (a way for users to talk to each other outside comments etc) then they are BANNED.
(sorry if I went over the top)

Not if it's a safe chat.

Exactly.

Oh, and MrScribblenaut, I'm looking foward to your idea.

Thanks, I tried it out with a friend last night and I got promising results. It works for the most part, there is a considerable amount of time before the message reaches you, but it works.

I'm not making an official release until I have some sort of safe-chat feature programmed, but I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do that. The thing is there is only one cloud variable storing the number value, so if you see something inappropriate, just say something and its gone forever (if you refresh the page), so I don't see that too much of a problem. Also it puts your username along with your message, so you can take a snapshot and contact an admin to ban them.

And by the way, the current version looks like this:


I'm going to upload other snapshots of it in action on a different post.

I can test it. It sounds great! And v. complex!

Thanks, but I'm not looking for testers at the moment, as I am only bug-fixing right now, but when I do, I'll ask you.


I'm going to close the post and I'll post my progress in another post that I'll make later today.
