Also, a thing about Brickimedia chat vs. Wikia chat:

Quote:

If you experience any lag on Brickimedia chat, it's because of your connection, not the site or its chat. You experience the same lag on Wikia chat, however the ways the chats display messages is different. In Wikia chat, your message is displayed as soon as you hit enter, not as soon as the server receives the message. So when you see your message in Wikia chat, there's still a lag between that and the time it gets to the server and by the time other users see your message. On Brickimedia chat, your message displays to everyone at the same time, as soon as it's received by the server. So if you see lag on Brickimedia chat, you have the same lag on Wikia, you just don't see it there (but it is there). Another thing you may think is "lag" is that Brickimedia chat has a 7 second refresh rate on how frequently you see new messages. This is to save resources and is something that Brickipedia was okay with, but for LMBW can be changed to a 1 second refresh rate if necessary. Brickimedia chat used to be much slower because it was more resource-intensive, but is now much lighter-weight and faster. Additionally, a mobile chat interface and mobile Android and iOS apps for Brickimedia chat are in development to make chatting even faster and easier from mobile devices. "In Wikia chat, your message is displayed as soon as you hit enter, not as soon as the server receives the message."

Which is why it's nicer. It shows up on /your/ screen on wikia, but not everyone elses, but on Brickimedia, when your message shows up, it also means it's showing up for everyone else. wat

Just because your message is appearing in wiki chat doesn't mean other people can see it, it still has to go to the server. On Brickimedia chat, your message displays when it has already gotten to the server, not just when you press enter.
