[Diana Notacat]

Alot of these missing features are why I'm stilling using my own script instead of vBchat... but I really want some of the features vBchat has that my chat doesn't... Darnit! So here's what I'd love!

The ability to add chat moderators that are solely moderators inside the chat, and can kick/silence people.

I'd also love to have this! Prefferably to set exactly who has chat admin controls instead of all admins/staff having them... because some of my admins I wouldn't trust with controls in chat but they are excellent on the forums. o_o;;

Should be allowed to be in 2 rooms at once

Also something I would like, since I'll be in the main room and then want to roleplay or have a private conversation in a protected room. This is why I have multiple chats afterall. If worried about being grr to the database, you could have userperms set on who is allowed to be in more than one room.

Users in vbchat on right should be more condensed. Just username would be nice, but with dropdown menus to do things like send private message, ban, etc.

You could put the usernames in a dropdown next to the post textfield... Automatically the menu would be set to "Post in Room" and then you can scroll it to "Send Pm to : username"

Ban isn't noticable. When my mods/cms try it, they can't tell someone is banned. Users banned still show up as if in channel.

Indeed. At the very list a "User has been booted!" message would be handy when someone gets kicked.

I second your suggestions, have implemented some of them in my site, but I think the PM thing will be kind of difficult, to implement. To do it, another iframe will have to be created, and reloaded every now and then, maybe not as often as the other frame but at least once every three minutes. That will make the system slower.

In my chat system I added a PM chat to the text bar frame, so only when they update/send a new message it'll show if they have a new PM from the boards. Something like that would be pretty handy. Or what about putting a check in the actual message frame where messages apear? Just a note [you have a new pm!] if you have one, and nothing if you don't!

And now my own wants!

CHAT LOGS!
Even if it's just for admins, viewable chat logs... Either they aren't there for me to easy view or I'm blind as a bat! Including logs for protected rooms and display of private messages for uberadmin access only. (if they want a REAL private conversation they can use PMs or aim! sometimes people abuse these and you need logged proof...)

ADMINCP RIGHT IN CHAT
I'm lazy and I hate having to go all the way to my admincp to do the chatty things. Would be nice to have a little link with all the in chat related admin stuff. (ban/unban, chat logs, clear, chat, ect)

CLEAR SCREEN
Would be so lovely to clear the chat screen of old messages, or simply when a admin wants/needs to. This has been handy in my own chats.

CHAT BOOT
A simple boot out of chat instead of a full ban...

"ANONYMOUS" CHAT COMMENTS
For admin or chat mod use only, they can post a message without showing who the actual admin was! Which admin did the action should be shown in logs only. The chat messages in my rooms have been great for telling people to behave officially, and for a little narration action during games/events.

OPTION TO SET "CHAT NAME"
Since I use my chats for roleplay, it'd be super to be able to set the viewed name! Even more awesome if users can be in more than one room. Happy yay roleplay fun for Diana. Users love this, and of course, their name in the online list will link/show their real profile so no one tries to "trick" anyone.

If I could combine the two chats... ultimate power! Muahahaa!
