From what I remember not that much, the original developer used it on a rather large site with no noticeable changes.

@above if it still shows loading you need to add the hook to headinclude.

GSBOS the predecesor was released here or if you check the google code page (it's linked in the first post) you can find GCBOS for 3.8



About the font editor etc, i have an idea of how to code it but how would you like me to lay it out? Eg: B, U, I / Color picker in the notice bar or?



Update
Uploaded 0.6.4 fixes the who's online location issue.

Coming back to this you mean when you edit a message the input box shows /edit <message_id> <message_body> and delete shows /delete <message_id> ? If so this is an intended feature of the original developer as this is ment to be a command line system like IRC (ish).

Looks very nice, tagged.

[meissenation]

Thank you for taking time to make this. I really am interested in the IRC functionality that you have planned.

Should be fine what language are you using? I have a hunch what it might be though.

[milaszewski]

what code should be put into a HTML widget in order to have the chat as a widget?
