I see we have the long awaited surprise, an IM built into the site... anybody tried it yet??

No but if you could tell me how to get rid of the pop ups every 2 seconds when in my mailbox that would be great

I've never had those at all

Right now... I had something from Toby for 'testing' then I had somebody say ''hi'' but I didn't recognise their name and they disappeared when I asked. Next I got connected with both Myspace AND Facebook as well as Flirtbox and there were 13 people on line that I could have spoken with...... BUT it looked like a few hundred others that could be on line... haha!!
OMG! I can barely cope in a chat room let alone if everyone started talking to me at once

I know it seems like I'm talking to myself tonight but I've discovered it does work OK having just had a conversation with somebody.
So it seems like the friends are taken from your list of favourites which means that I will need to reconsider how I use my favourites if they then become 'friends' and can grab me for a chat haha!! but you can block them too...

The friendslist was initially loaded with the people you have contacted in the past (outbox messages).

I had to switch the messenger off on flirtbox.co.uk but it is still online on flirtbox.com.

It will be back online maybe on Friday (it keeps on reconnecting flirtbox.co.uk on flirtbox.com the messenger stays open).

You can also click on "chat" on a user profile if people are not in your friends/favourites list.

Is there anything else new, yet to come?

That improved search function spoken about in other threads would be very much appreciated

Well, I somehow ended up with 2 people talking to me from Flirtbox at the same time the other night, but I was having to juggle the two windows as I couldn't move them anywhere... they just slid along the bottom. I do like the idea of being able to chat without giving away my e-addy
