Chat messages being lost

[Idrinth]

We need to implement a way to better check if chat messages were actually accepted server-side and if not resend them. It might be useful to seperate sending and pulling messages for that.

@w20k @Algareb @Ardenian any opinions on that?

Could we use sockets in chat, instead of polling ? :) Though, in this case we will drop some older browser version from our support list.

sockets are supported by all browsers we generally support, I just don't have a backend for that yet, would need to write that first.

if we move to websockets, we could support the webchat that mutik's script provides on kong atm - after all it's the same technologie then. I guess that might be useful to add those rooms as chat-rooms in our chat as well(optional)

Any opinions on moving to sockets?
