Chat 'Who's Online' list only shows friends now

[EpicNPC]

The chat box will now only list members who are on your "Friends" list.

Add Friends here

The reason for the change is to prevent spammers from abusing the system. At the same time limiting the list to Friends only adds a performance boost because the system no longer has to load all online members on every page load. This should help speed up the site a bit as well as as fix some of the complaints members have had with messages being too slow.

Members can still chat to anyone by clicking the "Chat Now" message in someone's post profile.

You can still chat with players by hitting the Chat Now button under their name in a post. Only the chat now button on the bottom right is affected.

Yes, as stated above, you can still chat with anyone you just have to click the 'chat now' button in their post profile.

My chat in the bottom right never appeared anymore after I upgraded to Epic Premium xD
Also, I can't "Like" Posts for some reason

The chat and "likes" have been corrected for the Premium usergroup. Thanks for reporting it

ya i guess your right, but i still liked how you could see everyone who is online. maybe make a section somewhere that shows everyone that is online?

 

[EpicNPC]

You can see everyone who's online on the homepage at the bottom.
