Hey vroom.
There are a couple of things that immmediately spring to mind. Some of these I have mentioned to you already, most I haven't.
I'm not all that well organised mentally though, so I'll warn you now that this will probably read like treacle...anyway, here goes:
Firstly, easy things that would be nice:
-Fellow noders/Other users nodelet
-Search box that opens in another window
-the adfu banner.  I should imagine that this has to be there, 
but if not, it would be nice to get rid of it - it slows up the
refreshes somewhat
-umm, that'll do (for now)
Things that look like they may be broken:
-Perlmonks link underneath the picture of the monk was 
just loading index.pl into the top frame, leaving the chat 
page in the lower frame
-if you try and type <STDIN>, or indeed any thing 
with <> in, then it get's parsed out - I don't recall if 
the chatterbox used to do this before, I'm afraid
-if you type in something with, say perlman:perlfaq1, 
although it does display in the chat window, it changes 
it to code within the talk box, spewing out over the red table
-let me just hit submit and see what this looks like 
- wait for the update.....

RE: Chat page

    "Users cannot change their questions" - I really should remember these things...
    Anyway, the bottom bit above looks rubbish, try mentally inserting \n whereever there is a hyphen.
    The last thing I can think of now is that it's important that the chat page doesn't become the main platform whereby help is obtained here. I think one of the nicest ideas of perlmonks is the way that the archive slowly builds up, and as the chat doesn't get archived, knowledge may be lost.
    For this reason, and this reason only (I don't like the next idea much as I think it could give rise to /. type first posts and Everything1 type ENN camping), it may be an idea to have an ENN type nodelet on the chat page as well, just to remind people of the main site...umm, I hope you know what I mean..

      Hmm, and maybe auto-wrap...
