Skell and I wrote down a list of features we wanted to add to forum chat. And then it sat there for a few months. But today, skell got inspired and added some new features:

- Multi-user chat works! I think the interface to start a chat is a little clunky, but we'll probably work on it.

- URLs are link-ified, so you can just click them without copy/paste.

- New messages don't auto-scroll you back to the bottom. However, we will probably add that back as an option. Maybe.

- When there are unread messages in a different tab, instead of simply blinking, you get a little counter for how many unread messages there are.

- Accidental double posts - i.e. Enter twice rapidly - probably won't happen now.

- The title of the page changes when you have unread messages, so you could conceivably notice new messages when in another window.

Praise skell for all the cool new features!

So you're saying the forum chat is written in Flash now?
