That looks great Todd. I like the lightbulbs. When someone enters the chat room they light up the place with the yellow bulb.

It currently only displays the latest chat transcript, but it's a start. After a chat is complete, its transcript should automatically be posted. In the future, all past chats should be available too, but that feature is not ready.

It seems like a simple thing to do, but it was actually quite a bit more complicated that one might think to create and post the tr... [ More ]
