Hover Chat tab, see users.

It would be really cool to be able to hover over the chat number on the tab and see the users in chat. As of now when you see a user pop in you have to scroll down to the bottom. Hovering would be great if possible.

Thanks

That is a cool idea, but I see that it would probably add to server overheard since it would have to also download the user list every time a page is refreshed adding yet another query to the DB.

Actually, the users in chat are stored in a cache store entry, meaning we could potentially load that cache on every page without any additional queries (and, in fact, if you used memcache/APC/etc. the data would be pulled from your alternate cache store).
