New Features
1. Private Conversations
- Allows users to chat in private with one another.
- Private conversations can be started using the
/msg command. I've also added a form that will make it easier to start a conversation, using autocomplete for recipient field.
- When scrolling up at the top (or bottom if inverse direction is used) older messages will automatically load.
- You can search conversation using
/find keyword command. Using
/new command will reload the conversation after search.
- You can leave a conversation anytime and if the other user leaves as well, conversation will get deleted.
2. Post Likes

- Likes update on chat refresh for all users.

- Chat archive can be ordered by like count.
- Users can like messages even in the archive.
3. Custom User Commands
- Allows users to create custom commands for predefined messages.
- Custom commands can be used/created/updated/deleted using // double slashes. Example:
/
/cool How cool is that? - Will create //cool command if doesn't exists for that user or update it if exists.
//cool - Will post the message saved when created/updated.
//cool delete - Will delete the command.
- Using
/my command will display in the chat your own commands and if you click them, it will automatically insert them in the chat input field.

Improvements
Command System
- Has been rewritten to be more user friendly and for better performance.
- When you type a command that requires parameters and you don't provide them correctly, you will get a an error as a chat message that only you can see, repopulating the input with what you have submitted.
- Typing a command that doesn't exists, will also get you an error message.
Top Chatters
By default, top updates every hour and now will display the time on which the last update occurred.
Chat Bot Messages
Bot messages will no longer rely on XF's cron jobs. Instead, they will run on every request from the cache, making sure that no message will remain unposted.
Bug Fixes
- Ability to bypass bbcode restrictions.
- Issue with /giphy command images when using SSL.
- Other code issues.
