Greetings! I would like to show you "chat hacks" and what they can do. Chat hacks aren't really hacks, but they add to the chat's coding script and usually provide a better chatting experience.

Copy all the coding from here and paste it into here.

When chat hacks is activated on a wiki, the "OPTIONS" thing shows up above the user list. Upon clicking on it, you can see several things...


 * You can change your chat background color!
 * You can change your post background color!
 * I don't know what surround is really.
 * You can change your font color!
 * You can change your own message font!

These are optional though but if you want to mess around with how your chat looks then this is fine. Then there's boxes for...


 * "Enable chat hacks"
 * "Enable multi kick"
 * "Enable multi pm"
 * And four other options that I don't know how they function yet but they don't really matter.

Chat hacks enables you to PM people through the use of a button and it allows you to click on an "AFK" button to show your status as "Away". It also sets up ping phrases, which can be found in the top left corner of the chat room as "Ping phrases (?)". Ping phrases are words that notify you with a sound when said in the chat, to catch your attention. When you active chathacks, your username is in ping phrases by default, so when someone says your username you get pinged. You can change your ping phrases (one phrase per line) to have multiple things ping you. For example...

If those were your ping phrases, then they would all notify you. Messages that ping you have red font by default. Not sure if you can change this or not. This is actually a very useful system for moderators and allows the mods to know when people are going to spam...in the meantime the moderators don't always have to be on chat and do whatever they were doing until they're pinged to take care of something.

Multi PM allows you to private message with multiple users at once. Doesn't always work, especially if you try to private message with more than three people at once, but it can prove to be useful.

Multi kick actually throws several users out of the chat when they've done things wrong. It's useful against raids or several troublesome users.

I'd say that chat hacks are a great idea for the wiki's chat and that we should enable them. It's up to you. If you do wish to add them, then add the coding from here into here.
