dAmn redesign
_________________________________

Ok, let's be honest. The chat network on deviantART looks far from good and the redesign that took place back in April wasn't really very successful. So here's my take on the issue.

Now, the April redesign might not have been a big success, it was very informative. Not only did we learn that from all groups of people on deviantART those using the chat are the least capable of dealing with change ( ), we also got a pretty good insight of what they actually want and, more importantly, don't want.

So, what do you guys think ?
Opinions/suggestions are very welcome..

About the newly added feature: "favourite emoticons".
This bars shows your favourite emoticons, but you might wonder how an emoticon becomes your favourite emoticon..

Well, I would simple use the feature I previously mentioned in my Emoticon Legend Revamp.

This way you can have your favourite emoticons everywhere you go. ( So ideally you would have a favourite emoticon bar in your comment window too )
