In game chat.

Can someone remind me why ZE doesn't have an in-game chat feature like other game sites. Using the available message system just isn't the same. After playing a hundred or more games with someone, often consecutively, It would be nice to be able to say
" Hi, how ya doin today?" without having to check my messages for a response. Any one else have an opinion on this?

Thanks to Capricorn17 for showing me the err of my way by showing me how to work the new chat feature. I do have two suggestions though. First, send an instructive/notification message to all players and second change "Add Message" to read "Chat" which is universally recognized as an indicator for in-game or real time communications. Anyway, thank you ZE for adding this feature.

and third

Maybe the location could be moved. On my computer, I have to scroll down to see if there's a message, so I usually miss them. They seem more obvious on gameknot, but I have to scroll down there as well. Maybe it's because some of the other links are below the game on gameknot, but not here.

on gameknot

with gameknot you can change them to the top of the board which helps me from missing them

We try to avoid users having to scroll to see the game board, so we want to keep the messages below the board. Therefore, we will soon add an icon higher up on the page to alert you to the presence of a new message.

Small board

I decided to play using a small board (changed at Setting -> My Preferences) and I can see the messages without scrolling now...

However, I guess many people wouldn't like playing on a small board, so that's hardly a solution that will please everybody - but well, give it a try

Thanks, Rafael! Didn't realize I could change this....

WIth or without the small board, the pip count seems awfully small lately. Has this changed? Or has my eyesight just gotten worse?

Yes, it seems the font size has changed along with the board.
