Here's a fairly minor problem for pmdev to worry about: if you go to fullpage chat before logging in to the site, it will load properly, and even let you attempt to speak. It simply won't show in chatterbox with no feedback.

    What if someone wants to anonymously watch the CB? I see no problem with that. What do you suggest be done to fix the problem?

      This does not affect voyeurism, that is allowed with both the chatterbox and full page chat. A patch has been proposed to address this concern.

      Specificly, have the top frame be different (possibly with the text "you are not logged in, and thus cannot talk" and a login form).

      (I suspect the patch that belg4mit mentioned does somthing like that, on the "great minds" principle.)

    I can't reproduce this. Using Galeon 1.0, if I logout and go to fullpage chat, I see the CB, but with no input box or submit button. Same as the front page (if I'm not logged in).
