We are happy to have added a brand new Chat powered by Meebo.

The new chat service offers all kinds of great features, including YouTube integration, one to one private chat, multiple windows, and really great safety and moderation features.

We have added a lot of rooms to the chat including a Crewparty Main Chat, a singles room, football room, hip hop, and country specific rooms.

To get to the new chat just sign in to your Crewparty account and click the Chat link located on the left navigation and the bottom dock.

Following through on our commitment to open up “walled-gardens” and give users more control of how messages are received and managed, a great new feature that allows you to forward Crewparty inbox messages to your favorite email accounts has been added.

Crewparty users can forward Crewparty messages and sms messages to any email account they own.

When you add and confirm an email address, any incoming message that comes to your inbox will be forwarded to a list of email addresses below added to your Crewparty account.

Forwarded messages and sms are not deleted from your Crewparty Inbox and always archived for your message history needs.  Screenshots below highlight the service.

To access the forward option just go to your Crewparty Inbox and click on the FORWARD tab.  It is a great way to get your Crewparty Inbox and sms messages delivered direct to your Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Hotmail or any email account for easy access…and best of all, we support SSL connections as well ENJOY!!!
