Hello ChatFighters!

Video introduction, click to play:

NO, the site hasn't been hacked! Please, everyone, stay calm. The Chat feature on the site has been updated, and I'm writing this of my own free will. Nobody is pointing a gun to my head and kidnapped my family.

It's been a while since our last official update, but we've finally mustered the courage again to introduce another major change to ChatFighters.com. *gulp*

What's New?

We're updating the core of ChatFighters – our Chat! You might have noticed our team collecting your feedback if you've been active recently.

• Today, we're switching to the latest version of the Chat.

We know change can be challenging, so we've added some goodies to make it worth your while:

• New User filters: Search for users; Pro tip: The filter also searches your federation badges and Chat Status text! Giving your status another reason.
• New Room filters: For room lists and conversations find rooms quickly. You can search room tags, too, such as federation, roleplay, or ring.
• Draft: Conversations with unsend text are highlied as draft.
• Avatar icon: added to the conversation list.
• Longer context windows: Now 2000 characters instead of 1000.
• Extended edit time: 5 minutes instead of 2 minutes.

Customizing Your Chat Experience

To make the transition smoother, we've added new customization options - to get 'old chat look and feel follow the steps below:'

1. Clear beta cache: If you joined the beta, close and reopen the Chat or press CTRL+F5 to hard reload the Chat.
2. Themes: Choose "legacy combat" under settings to mimic the old chat colors.
3. Default Scaling: Reset your browser zoom to 100% if you adjusted it for the old Chat.
4. Adjustable Settings: Text size, channel layout, and panel size can all be customized under settings.
5. Quick Start: Go to settings in the chat, then click on Quick Start and Useful Hints for a quick reminder and introduction.

Design Philosophy

Note: This isn't just a chat update; it's a complete re-creation from the ground up. We've tried to stay as close to the original design as possible while incorporating modern best practices. And based on your feedback, we added Chat Themes, which was not originally planned.

Designs, fashion, and art are constantly evolving and repeating, even if we are not. While recreating the chat, we followed best practices in current layouts and designs. We know designs were different 5 years ago and will be different again in 5 years, but as we created the chat now, we used what is considered modern today. Our main expertise isn't in design, so we focus on best practices.

For the devs out there, only the front end was changed, and the back end remains mostly the same. This recreation allows us to add the chat to our native app without any extra work. Which was not possible with the old front end. Understandably, we don't want to support two front end chat versions forever. But for now, we do.

Some might say, "Don't fix what's not broken." But here's why we did it:

• Progress is essential – we don't want to live in the stone age.
• The old chat couldn't be ported to a native app. This new chat is designed to work seamlessly on mobile, providing a significantly better experience and making it possible to add to an app.

Important: The old Chat will still be accessible, but it won't receive any new updates or maintenance and might be turned off at any point without warning.

Your Feedback Still Matters!

While our beta testers have helped us fix many bugs, we need your help too. If you encounter any issues or feel something is missing, please let us know! Constructive feedback is invaluable. You can reach out here or via tickets.

We hope you find the new chat attractive. If not, you can adjust it back to the old layout using the settings.

Shoutout: If you are a content creator or video editor, we would love it if you want to create a short tutorial or introduction video for the CF or the chat - get in contact with us. And discuss details and compensations.

Have fun, stay safe, and happy chatting!

Cheers,
ChatFighters

Hello!

Today, we are releasing the first version of our new text editor.
For now, the new editor is only active for NEW stories.
Compared to the old editor, this one follows a WYSIWYG (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG) model.

That means you can see what the finished story looks like inside the editor.

More importantly, it also comes with many formatting options (text size, text- and background color, alignment, and much more), all much simpler to use within the editor. You can even post formatted text into it to a certain degree.

We tried to test as much as possible, but with the number of different devices and browsers, please expect to find some bugs or rough edges. If you find them, post them below or open a ticket so we can fix them.

We also ensured that we did not remove any functionality of the old editor, but if we overlooked something, please let us know too.

Once we polish the new text editor, it will replace the current editor for all parts of our site (forum, comments, profile introduction, etc.)

As always, with these updates, you can expect us to closely monitor things and push fixes as fast as possible.

We hope you like the change and are looking forward to your feedback!

Best Regards,
ChatFighters

Hello!

The chat cache improved, including the annoying problem of the chat delay when the primary picture was changed.
The chat will now directly update the picture with the next login or refresh (F5), which could previously take up to half a day or even longer.

Announcing Lustfinity

Our veteran members might know, ChatFighters was born out of MeetFighters.

Today, we present a new website we are about to launch similar to MeetFighters. It will focus on real meetings, and in contrast to MeetFighters, it will center around Sex, BDSM, Kinks and all kinds of fetishes:

Lustfinity promises to be an inclusive sanctuary for every imaginable fantasy and kink. Dedicated features to stay close to kinks you love but far away from kinks you dislike. Discretion, security, and privacy, together with verification and recommendations. FREE^* of charge; *Sounds simple but is actually hard to maintain and host a site for free. To be transparent, we use the same model as on ChatFighters and MeetFighters: small volunteering contributions yearly- non-recurring. To gain some smaller perks - but no restrictions when it comes to engaging with other members or scrolling the userbase. And, of course, free of advertising and data collection.

Eager to learn more? Visit Lustfinity.com and sign up for our launch newsletter. You'll receive an exclusive invite to our closed Beta launch, granting you a chance to be at the forefront of shaping Lustfinity.

Final words:
We are in this unique position to go into the adventures of creating niche websites and keep adding features and improvements to our existing ones only because of the continued support of our community. Financial support, but also recommending our platform. Thank you very much!

Thank you for reading, and we would love it if you sign up for the Lustfinity newsletter.

Best Regards,
Admin
