the chatbox of facebook now is not that good, you can not view all your friends that are online, and in order to find them you should type their name if they are even online, that's a waste of time fellas,, facebook chatbox should be put back to its former form hehe,, what do you think??

Well the chatbox really sux coz of dat reason mainly. It shows that suppose 40 of my friends are online but i can view only 20 or so names in the list and half of them are not even online. I think a scrolling options is much needed.
I would like to add that the previous chatbox used to hang sometimes and become irresponsive for me but not its lightning fast. If they introduce a scrolling option and show online friends only I won't complain about it.

Hi there! You know what, I agree on you. Facebook makes facebook worst. The chat before is pretty ok but why does they changed it. There is also a problem on it when you are chatting someone, it says "nana is typing..." I keep on waiting but to my disappointment my chatmate is not typing. There is really something wrong on facebook chat.

Have to agree I do not like the new chatbox at all. Have facebook not heard of the phrase - If ut is not broken do not fix it?? I hope they give you the option of using the old method of chatting.

Yeah, I hate it too. Have you also noticed that when you are chatting with someone, your chat is linked with the messaging system too? In other words, when you send a chat message, you also send them a private message as well! And vice versa! That's ridiculous! I'm not interested in seeing my chat conversation in my message inbox as well. I think it's pointless. I don't like it.

Agreed! The new box sucks. It makes the page smaller and it's in the way. I just want it to go back to how it was.
I think facebook just exists to wined everyone up every time it makes a new feature.
