1) chuPPo Chat has become lightweight due to its transition to Flex 3 framework. Now it will load faster than before thus improving users’ experience.

2) Due to numerous requests we have implemented “video in pop-up” feature. Now if you look at someone’s video in chuPPo Chat you can not only put it to video dock but also open it in a separate popup window - this makes it possible to resize the video without interfering with chat interface.

Feel free to check at chuPPo Chat demo.

You can place this widget anywhere on your site, for example on index page. You can set your own custom widget size to make it fit your page layout. This can be a great little tool to engage your customers in your site activity.

An improtant notice to SkaDate users: chuPPito will be integrated with the next SkaDate update but you can have it in advance. All others chuPPo Chat users, feel free to make inquiries for chuPPito installation assistance.

This particular chuPPito object is connected to chuPPo webcam chat software demo by simply indicating its URL in connection parameters. Feel free to look at this post page source to find out how to install it yourself. We’ll follow up with more detailed installation instructions on chuPPo.com.

Update summary:
- Skin, smilies change support
- Custom languages support
- Usage statistics
- Usage tracking now based on successful IM sessions between members, not on simultaneous users online like before.

Log in to admin area. Now you can see a separate tab for Messenger with its own settings. Feel free to check and let us know if it works well for you.

It’s that time of the product life-cycle again. We are planning next major upgrade for SkaDate, version 7. We are at the stage of gathering all the feedback and putting on paper what should be implemented.

We target the following 3 objectives with SkaDate 7:

1) Several major new features (groups, classifieds, etc.)
2) A lot of enhancements and optimization of the existing features. This is the neverending mission across the product existence history.
3) Performance optimization. We made some custom performance tuning for several big customers. Some of that can be implemented in the main product.

And of course, SkaDate 7 is not going to be a great thing without your suggestions. We found great value of communicating with customers, so new SkaDate can’t go without your contribution.

chuPPo

chuPPo applications do not have any versioning because of the hosted model and constant incremental development. You do not need to download anything, you just see your chat, IM, and recorder getting better, often on a daily basis.

Currently we are eager to hear from our audience what chuPPo can do for you.

Skalfa Boards

Now, for some action go to the new Skalfa Boards and let us know how we can make running your business easier. From now on this is the right place to give us some insight on improving our products.

Soon chuPPo Chat will have “friends” feature for all sites. It will mean that the logic of the site will pass relationship between users, so those who are friends will enjoy better placement and visibility for each other. This is going to greatly improve user experience on busy sites including Facebook.

Add this app and invite friends if you want to have fun with your Facebook friends online and support chuPPo.

This time we introduce completely free text-only version of chuPPo Chat with unlimited user sessions.

If you go to your admin area statistics page you will see the following:

As you see in the legend, audio/video sessions and text-only sessions are counted separately! This means can use your a/v sessions up to the fullest while being able to switch to text-only mode.

You can switch between a/v and text modes any time in the main settings tab of your admin area. When you are in text mode your sessions are still counted (so you have a good picture of your site usage) and an unobtrusive advertisement banner from chuPPo is shown below the chat.

You don’t have to pay anything, it’s FREE.
You don’t bother about running out of user sessions, it’s UNLIMITED.
You can set it up instantly, it’s COPY&PASTE.

Go use it now. Your feedback and suggestions are greatly welcome.

This skin will be default for all new chuPPo Chat installations, existing customers can activate it in chuPPo admin area.

We think user interface tweaking can never be too much. Together with the skin, chat application has got some minor interface improvements. Feel free to comment if your users like the new app. We are going to clear out and polish every single detail based on what your users say. Since community business is always user-centric, you might want to gather some feedback from your chatters.

Good luck in your endeavors!

Our support and technical departments will be closed from Dec 29 to Jan 2 so our staff members can finally spend some holiday time with their families. You can submit your support tickets, pre-sale inquiries, and orders during that time, they will start being served on January 3.
