1. how do i add it in so that it would display that the user is in the chat room when viewed in the online page.

That was part of a mod that Josh did for another chat application. It works by using a pop up, and since most people block them (especially on a geek site like the one I run) I didn't include it. I don't remember what hack it was a part of (help me out here Josh
).

Sure, it's a piece of cake if you:
1) Have a static IP address, or you know how to use some of the sites tat let you manage your own DNS entries so you can change the resolution for your chat server whan your IP address changes.
2) Your ISP allows you to run a server -some don't...
3) You're comfortable setting up Linux or Free BSD as your operating system for the IRC server. You could also use Windows if you have a licence for Exchange -Microsoft includes a chat server on the Exchange install CD.
For more info go to my site, register a user name, and post any questions you still have. I'd rather do tech support on Da LAN Tech
