Good lads and lasses of Sandbox,

I'm glad to announce that recently, me and HumbleDaedricServant discovered a handy code for our chat. We successfully tested it on another wiki, and I informed Harold about this discovery earlier, but in order to implement it without further confusion, we decided to share the info about the features that can be embedded into the chat for greater convenience.

Here are the features:
 * Ability to clear your chat window (there will be a "Clear" button near the typing field, pressing which clears chat history completely)
 * Ability to create multi-user private chats
 * Inline alerts every time your "Away" status changes (to top it off, there is an "Away" button right above the "Clear" one, pressing which switches between statuses)
 * Icons next to staff names in the chat room
 * Pings when someone mentions your name or any other specified phrases

There will be a "Ping phrases" button next to the Sandbox' logo above the chat room, where the ping phrases are. Clicking on it will reveal the said phrases, with your username there by default. List all the phrases you'd like to be notified upon being mentioned in the chat. You might want to include every name of yours (e.g. Kool Khajiit, KK, Kool, Khajiit and so on) and list them there, they don't work otherwise. Another thing about pings is that every time a notification activates, it plays a very unpleasant and sudden sound (scares me sh*tless). We're currently working on changing the sound (I already made a somewhat more soothing harp note that'll do better), but if you can't stand the spooky sound, clear the "Ping phrases" list.

With that being said, I'd like to know whether you guys are interested in implementing these features for our Wiki. Do you want these features for the chat? Yup! Nay!

Have a blessed day, my good people :)
