Pop Up Chat on the Left...

Good or bad?

I personally liked it on the right so that I could see who was on no matter what page I was at. I also wonder if it is displaying those currently on the Home or all throughout the site? It seems like there are significantly less avatars when I check it.

*edit* I am backwards! Fixed.

It kind of did though, you could just leave it alone so it went "to sleep" and not "wake up"? Though it probably should have an off button.

I've got a couple of observations about chat:

1. I tend to have several nexus pages open in different tabs, which I imagine would upset pop-up chat.

2. I tend to open chat in a tab.

3. There is usually nobody there - people drift in say "hello"?, find it's empty and leave. sometimes seconds apart.

What would help is a count of the number of people in the chat room under the list of who's on-line.

Also some sort of cue - a beep, or change in the tab title if there's a post or someone arrives.

Does any of this sound doable?
