I downloaded.
I installed.
I tested.
I debugged.
I was pissed because it didn't work.
I gave up.

If you come across anything odd, that doesn't appear to work well, etc ... let me know ASAP. I have a 30-day tech support contract, so it's not completely on me to figure out weirdness and glitches.
If for some reason you've decided to "block ads" then you may be blocking the chat bar -- so don't run one of those silly "NoScript" type browser plugins because it quite honestly breaks too much site functionality. (Not just chat, but quite a few other site aspects.) Those plugins are great ideas, but poor executions.
As long as this doesn't try to kill the server, and continues to work, we have our new chat app!
