i think it would be neet if the chat room link opened up in its own new window automatically...so it would at least be more like a faux IM chat box ;)
that way peeple can browse the forums an lurk in the chat room easier ;)
(if this is possible ..an without much difficulties . i hope doesn't cause the "too many connections" problem?)
i know we could just manually open up a new window on our own , but this would be a nice touch ;)

No, internal links shouldn't pop up new windows. (nor external links, but at least that make more sense). Let the user decide if s/he wants new windows/tab.
Press and hold shift down (I think thats also works for IE) while clicking on the link or right-click and select "open in new window". Voilá, now you can browse the forums while chatting.

CGI:IRC and some browsers
If you have trouble getting in to the "Chat Room" or if things don't quite seem to be working correctly, your best bet is to try a different browser. Some browsers will specifically not work with the CGI:IRC interface that the web-based chat interface uses (e.g. certain versions of Netscape, old versions of IE, and Safari). So again, in short, try a different browser if it doesn't seem to be working for you. e.g. Firefox should work regardless of the platform.
Cheers!
