in thread Making long CB posts easier

It's more that I think the functionality should be there than that I want it. I don't use a cb client and probably wouldn't even if one had my feature. On the other hand, if someone created one that pops up a text box when I click in the talk box of the cb that's built into the home page, and disappears when I click talk, or there were a cb client that allowed me to browse perlmonks while chatting, I think I'd use it. I don't like having cb monopolizing my time.

    Yes, you do. The web interface of PM includes a chat client. Or two.
    a cb client that allowed me to browse perlmonks while chatting
    That's what you get by default! When you browse around the monastery, every page has a chatterbox -- at least, if you've enabled it in your Nodelet Settings. I use this cb client a lot, myself.
      Yes, I use that built-in "client", and if I were able to modify it, I would. I don't want one of the other clients that (if I want to browse PM) requires me to specially resize a window (which messes up the size when I open the window for something else) or adds a toolbar button, or requires an extra scroll bar, or hides a scroll bar that I need.

    Consider upgrading to something with a multitasking windowing system.
