missing quicktime plugin - so your firefox does not recognize "wav" files in < embed> (they are used for sound effects). ignore this if you can live without sound or install the plugin. (i don't know if it must be quicktime, it just needs to support wav files, e.g. in MSIE they are handled by windows media player, and in the linux mozilla browser the mplayerplug-in handles all video and sound)

The 'Reload' fixed the "TypeError" problem - thanks. It still says I have a missing Quicktime plugin - not sure what that's about.

...and the chat(X) counter is only updated when loading the page, it is meant mainly for people reading the forum.

thank you for all bug reports!

ah, firefox reserves this space for the sound effects (there are 3 < embed> objects, even though they are invisible), of course i will fix this

"adduser is not a function" - it seems like your browser uses a cached version of the old js file. reload or shift+reload or control+reload should help (i never know which one does the forced reload )

When I enter Chat I get the error "TypeError:parent.docu ment.chatobject.adduser is not a function" !! - I use Firefox. No error on MS IE.
The Logged in user count seems to get messed up too, said Chat(2) when I was only in once and not even logged in....I do like the new features though

[CHAT] i don't like timestamps, they are so "artificial" ;-P

i don't like timestamps, they are so "artificial" ;-P
i have the new idea how to visualise the time more precisely but still without polluting the chat with numbers so i'm going to try it before resorting to timestamps.

the list of people currently on chat - definitely a good idea, thanks!
