Would it be possible to have a thingy on the forum which shows how many people are in chat? Atm if you're not in chat and you want to see if there's anyone there, you have to open it up. If people in chat want you to come to chat they have to either hope you log into it, or send you a PM asking you to do so and hope you haven't already logged off.
Just would be nice to go into the forum and see "2 people are in chat" so you can think "ooh cool" and check in .

I think this would be a really good idea, I am sure it would encourage people to come into the chat more often. Don't know if it can be simply done, though.
Have no idea -- I just attached the chat thing into the forum. Your suggesstion sounds like I would need to expend effort which I'm not keen on right now.
