Who's Chatting Display in 2.1.3

First, background:

http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=201789

Today, my forums are basically offline again due to the index.php not loading because of the Who's Chatting display and the chat server being offline.

There is NO reason for the chat server and this one line of display should prevent the loading of the index.php. No reason.

It should display "chat server offline" or something like that. Not bring down the whole forum load.

My suggestion, if it's not already in 2.1.3, prevent this from occuring. Pretty stupid that it does right now. I guess very stupid. Not just pretty stupid.

I guess we can add to this that the chat window should be able to POP UP.

And, the Who's Chatting feature should actually WORK!

Looks like it is not working properly in 2.1.X for Who's chatting. It does not show all the users for example.

I guess you're using ParaChat? We elected to go with SigmaChat and we love it, no problems. I even managed to install it myself when our own tech admin couldn't figure it out. :)
