"New version chatbox"
In this update, I've removed comm timeouts. That's not to say that they can't happen, but they won't be so intrusive. The new system uses an adaptive timeout so that it should quickly recover from network/server transients, but still work on higher latency connections. Also, instead of a comm timeout message, the update time will change color to indicate high latency. To top it all off, the popup chatbox uses a different domain so that other Zelaron activity doesn't squash the chatbox under the "two simultaneous connections per domain" rule; couldn't fix this for the mini chatbox as HTTPXMLRequest doesn't allow cross domain requests.
Also this version, you can see who's in the chatbox from the recent messages display, to hopefully prevent some of that retarded in-and-out that certain people likes to do.
