Hi Pat, Thanks.

Open the template for chat_main. DON't edit in the Admin Cp, but copy the html code into a good editor and save two copies. One as original (your backup, just in case) and the other as edit (the one you wil actually edit).

First as for the fresh rate. Look for this line (near the top of the file):

setInterval("chatFrameReload()",15000)

and change it to what value you want. Mine as shown is 15000 (15 secs).

As for the info table I added. Near the bottom of the file look for the end form tag, and insert (add-after the tag - </form>) this code:

<div align="center">
<table width='100%' height='1%' border='0'>
<tr>
<td class='alt1' align='left'>
<span class="smallfont">
<b>Quick Commands (type and enter in the Message Box):</b><br />
A - <i>/status</i> = Changes your Chat Room status immediately in the 'Currently in this Room:' Box (10 Characters Is The Max Limit).
Example: /status - Away<br />
B - <i>/msg</i> = Sends a private chat message to the requested member. Example: /msg [wirewolf] Hello. You can also click the
'Send Private Chat Message' link in the users In Room Box.<br />
C - <i>/me</i> = Shown as action instead of a message. Example: /me - Go plank hull<br />
D - <i>/exit</i> = Exits the Chat Room and automatically closes the window.<br />
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

When done, just delete the code in the style box for chat_main in the Adnin CP, and paste in the new editted code and hit save. Edit the text lines to your needs.
