Phps?

Where it says Visit Forums you could make it Visit Forums & Chatbox?

And it don't flag/flash up in a separate mini-window tag thingy telling you someone is on Chatbox ; so, thus, you never know when someone is on there synchronously unless you scroll down under the Forums? By that time you've missed them usually.

Fair ideas but things flashing up would get very annoying very quickly.

I did initially have the chatbox nearer the top of the forum top page but I felt it was intrusive - once people know it's there they can scroll down to it. Or, if you want to leave it open in a tab or window you can always click on the "Chatbox Full" link in the bar near the top.
