Testing Addon Chat for 2.0

[User1]

Just a very simple addon chat (requires java) linked on index page, it ain't much, but it is a slight improvement over N54 chat and it at least gets the job done to a basic extent without taxing our forum server or needing the whole dual logins etc. Hoping to refine it a bit more soon as time permits...

[JimD] Now we need a counter on the front page to suck in.. I mean attract more chatters
[mac] yeah if only that were possible with this setup
[mac] i am sure it could be done at some higher (paid) level but this is a freebie setup for now
[JimD] Ah well.. we will just clutter the DF with chat announcemnets then* *
[mac] just like the good old days!* *
[JimD] Yeppers... is there a limit to how many can join in at once
[mac] i do not know but I am suspecting there is for free and probably its 10 to 15
[mac] but for our needs, it never got that crowded before anyway
[JimD] *meow*
[mac] haha

java config?

I dont know why but it will not let me copy/paste chat text to a DF post, it copies on menu but nothing goes to clipboard.. hmm...

One cool new thing though, if you double click anyones name in the chat sidebar you can do instant private messages in there!

The chat window also has a button along the bottom where you can click to pop it up in a resizable window for full screen
