Hi,
when a user have many friends or the chat is setting to show all user (not only friends) the private massaging site loads very slow because it loads all users with the avatars in a list. Can we limit the userlist or use paging or only show users by search users feature? Optimal where a list of e.g. latest 20 Users we have a conversation with.

On my site I cannot use the private massage feature becouse it loads a list with over 10.000 users.

Hi,

no the list of registered users can't be paginated because users must be synced with the online list when available.

The search field is possible but it's on demand by users typing in the search field, not by default. However this feature is intended to show all users registered on the website not only a small subset of users, this is done to make it possible to start new conversations with all users in the system.

At the moment to limit the list there are only 3 ways:
- activating a friendship filter if using JomSocial, Easysocial, etc
- limit the chat to users that belong to the same users group
- limit the chat to only some access levels
