Hi, I have somewhat busy forum with thousands of members and they love this script, but there is a feature they all request. They don't want little chatbox on each page (it takes too much space and also cpu resources), they're fine with a link to a separate new chat window, where full version of this chat opens.

The way this chat is integrated to our forum is through a navbar link, but this link is static and it doesn't show that someone is actually in the chatroom.

Is there a way to put something like a beating heart or changing the font color next to a chat link in navbar (or number of active chatters), when someone is in the chat room?

That way if you are cruising the forum and see a "sign of life" in the chat room you can check in and actually chat.

Most of my members have been to the chat room several times a day but they keep missing each other and chatroom is full of messages like: "hello, anyone there?".

Anyways, if navbar link had some way of number of chatters, such navbar signal would be immediately seen and I have to say, I have to agree with my members, that a feature like this would make this script tremendously more useful.

Thanks.
Joe
