Any way that we can see who is in the chat room without pressing a button? New people wouldn't know how to do that. And new people are the ones with questions ok... we all have questions :D

ya that would be nice good Ideal Keppin

Also if there is a way, and I don't know, but if there is a way to make the window flash in the taskbar for windows users, that would keep me from missing people when they come in or forgetting about conversations. ;)

I'm not sure if this is what you are after but in the "Quick Links" drop down menu there is a link to see who's chatting that will tell you who's logged into the chat without you having to join first.

There is also a command that allows you to have a small sound go off when someone posts something in chat if you aren't there to see it. "/beepall" is the command without the quotes of course. Paul had a good idea too and now I can't remember what it was. Check the chat forums for his and other good ideas.

Well, that takes care of that then. Thanks much.

You are very welcome.. now use the heck out of it! heh

There is a Who's Online hack but it has made a number of communities crash so I'm waiting for the stable version before we add it and show who and how many people are in the chat room.. :)

Sorry for the delay..

I'm running Debian Linux (sid.) When I use the java chat client, when I right-click in the chat window, the right-click menu shows white text on white background, which is invisible. Makes using the more advanced features of the client tricky.

I'm running Fedora Core 2 with a 2.6.8-1.521 kernel and the latest Java download from Sun and I've got the same problem. I run Mozilla 1.7.2 Java makes no complaints on my end but I have an identical menu display to what meldroc describes.
