I've made some improvements to the chat on the user side of things (because unemployment, yay) to make the whole thing less painful to read (at least for me). Since Teague liked the initial idea I've decided to share the user script in case anyone else would find it useful. It should work in Chrome but it has only been tested in Firefox. Sorry

Here's how it looks:

Here's what it does:

- highlights your name in the chat
- highlights all links and makes them clickable
- adds a little checkbox next to 'Chat Log' which will expand the chat to 600px (or whatever you like) when checked. Useful during longer conversations
- adds a 'Mark all as read' link to the top bar. In case punBB keeps on showing old post as unread you can deal with that from the front page.

Here's how to get it:

- install Greasemonkey: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo … asemonkey/
- click here: http://lamer.3design.net.pl/greasemonke … er.user.js

Here's how to customize it:

- open the script with notepad and change these values to whatever you like:

//set chat link color
var linkHighlight = '#e8171a';

//set username color
var userHighlight = '#3aade9';

//set 'Mark all as read' color
var markColor = '#3aade9';

//set extended chat height
var chatHeight = '600px';
