I think it's very anoying when you in chat with someone and others are trying to chat with you and you get popup after popup.

Could someone create a pluging that will behave like this.

On click chat now button the recipient will get notification like add friend pluging does. Notification will say user blah wants to chat with you accept or reject.

Or limit the amount of consecutive chats to one. When someone clicks chat now notification will popup saying opps sorry the users is on chat with someone else please leave a message and use send message firm to send message.

Or perhaps instead of the "Chat now" message "Busy".?

If you are going to limit chat then i suggest just limit it with no chat messages. The reason is that you will end up trying to read a ton of messages left for you in chat and you might as well have just answered then at the time.

Now you could say something like, Sorry unable to chat at this time, if important please leave me a mail message. You would still have to check messages but you would not have a ton of popups to check.

Also someone might be trying to contact you on chat to report a serious site violation (as in something illegal) , so you need to take that into conseration as well.

Thanks guys. How can I at least stop the pop-ups and simply notify user when someone sends them a new chat message.

The other really useless thing is to be able to chat simultaneously through messages conversation and the pop-up. The pop up chat should remain hidden on messages conversations.

You can remove the chat feature i believe in the mail plugin settings in admin, just uncheck chat feature. It might be called messages, i dont remember what the plugin name is.

Thanks guys. Let me explain. Site.com/messages let's you pull up and reply to conversations both messages and chats right. If you are viewing chat conversation with the user x and it just so happens that the same user x sends you a chat message at that particular moment the pupup should remain hidden and only conversation should be updated.
