Chat can be enabled/disabled via ADC. Forbidden words can be added and automatically displayed as `******` in the chat. The time after which messages are deleted can be set.
Also, the chat box on the main page is open by default. You can also enable or disable it (single column opens with a click) from the ADC.

Access to past messages is provided with the "Load previous messages" button. Thus, the chat is not limited to only the most recent messages.

Users with permission can delete messages. The deletion process works with a separate confirmation screen. -
Showing actions according to permission

- Emoji Selector:
The message box includes a quick emoji button and a drop-down emoji menu. Users can add frequently used emojis with a single click.
- Consecutive Message Grouping:
Messages sent by the same user within a short period are grouped. This makes the chat flow more organized.
- User Information and Time Display:
Each message displays the username, time information, and role badge if necessary. There is support for the "Admin" badge for admin users.
- Guest/Closed Status Support:
If the user is not logged in or the chat is disabled, an appropriate notification box is displayed.
- Collapseable Mini Chat Box on Forum Main Page:
The chat box is located on the forum main page via a custom structure added to `forum_list`. Users can open and close it as desired.
- Scrolling to the Last Message on First Opening:
When the panel is opened, messages automatically scroll to the last message. This makes the user experience smoother.
- Mobile-Friendly Interface:
Separate layouts for mobile are defined in the CSS. The header, composer, emoji area, and send button are adapted to small screens.
