How are you using Chat?

Chat seems poorly implemented here -- just one chat for all the spaces / discussions.

I see in docs that you can create ONE unique chat for each Space. Is anyone doing that? (multiple chats?)
If so, can your users find it easily? Do they like and use Chat?
What have you learned about using Chat that we'd benefit from?
Thank you

To be honest - try Better Messages (integrated with Fluent Community). Is much better than Fluent Chat.

Michal PaczulaΒ Handy! Do you know other plugins that give additional features to FluentCommunity?

Andrij TkachenkoΒ - i see you like, u don't hide here! This is the man who created Better Message :)

(and please, look on support, I found a new bug on BM ;) )

Michal Paczula

Guys, do you see how quickly this man responds to requests?

Andrij TkachenkoΒ  You rascal, the support email has even changed recently :)
Alright, I won't spam about BM here anymore β€” the proposed solution works!

Michal PaczulaΒ  Thank you. Very impressed by Better Messages. I am trying to limit how many plugins I use, but am considering it.
I also need to migrate from WPForo, and because of that am being extra-careful in choosing my solutions now...

Lee BuschΒ you're welcome :)

I have multiple chats but not for every space. I am eager to see it updated and I am sure it will be, since it has been recognized that an update is needed, by the ninjas. How high the priority is remains hidden.
At the moment if one joins a space one joins the chat and only leaving a space can free you from it. If it starts to be annoying I will remove and only leave privat chat.
