I've removed the advertising

@Efrain - don't do that

sorry I'm new here 

1. Sometimes the online icon image does not show up or is broken and the image path is something like
elgg/mod/group_chat/graphics/icons/online_s.png - there is no group_chat folder in mod
2. How does an user personally disbale chat - for example, if she/he does not want to be called for chat
3. How can one user show busy or be invisible like in any standard chat
4. Not working with I.E. 8 ( many winXP users still there, and IE 8 is the latest available for winXP) - chat window shows but messages, after typing, do not get sent

How to have more admion controls or settings like freichat for elgg? How to disable the bottom bar?
Does this use comet or ajax? Does it support multiple simulataneous users easily or slows down the site (that is is this plugin resource intensive?)

Is this being actively developed? Will there be 1.9 version?
