Chat in Web Applications is not very popular so far. Most users do not know about the chat option. I think it is better to include the "Chat" button on the question itself to make people aware of it. This link will redirect people to chat.<link_to_the_question> link.

I discussed this feature-request in the "Chat Feedback" Chat room but didn't receive any reply.

There is now a chat link on the top menu of every page:

enter image description here

There isn't a a link to create (or use) a specific chat room for a question. The traffic in our general room is probably low enough to discuss it there.

  • I don't find the chat link in the side bar, only in the bottom of the page but it takes to the general chat page, not to room to discuss the question.

  • I don't understand Meta yet, sorry. Should I add a comment to the question or should I post a new question / feature-request?

    @Rubén - ah. I see (finally). I don't think there's a link to create (or use) a specific chat room for a question. The traffic in our general room is probably low enough to discuss it there.

  • I think that my concern has a stronger relationship with meta.webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/685/… but I would like to use the screen mockup in the question here.
