Hi MonkeyIsland!
I don't know if this question was already asked or not, but what about adding a javascript if statement to the Chat code. I mean that the chat (the html code) shouldn't be updated when there is no new message. I suggest this coz in Opera (or maybe in other browsers too) I can't copy words from the chat, coz when it updates itself then words I selected disappears and new selection begins.
ps.: I haven't seen the code of the chat, coz I'm a bit lazy
Thanks in advance!
