Greetings Wa'il - sorry I missed you in the chat room! But further on that topic...

Is there any way that when a person is logged into chat, and then minimizes that screen to work on other windows (as I do) can be notified when there is activity in the chat room?

The same as when I'm using AOL instant messenger and posting on another board the little bar at the bottom of my screen flashes.

Is that or something similar a possibility here?

(As an aside, I find myself forgetting I'm in the chat room, and then when I close the internet I forget to sign off and so it looks like I'm still in the chat room for hours after)

Thanks for your technical expertise on this one.
