Were are currently considering how to implement the IM system as per your suggestion.
We've done some research & a little bit of playing around with code and few questions/issues have come up. Since your site use to have a similar system I was hoping you could help us come up with an answer (obviously anyone who has an opinion or suggestion is welcome to participate).
- FUDforum has a buddy list, should the popup menu only have links to allow you to IM your online buddies? The problem with doing it for all the online users, is that on a large forum (ex. http://www.hardforum.com/) with over 400 users logged it at any one time showing ALL online users will make this list unusable.
- When & How to popup the IM window for people, should it be automatic upon login for registered users?
- Should the IM window try to stay on top of the normal browser window?
- How often should the window refresh to update the info shown?
