Chatbox questions - Sound and auto-disconnect

Is there a way to change it so that sound plays when there is a message received and sent? Also, can there be a way to disable the auto-disconnect / timeout? It's a little frustrating to have to keep on reconnecting in my forum.

Well not possible, however its been already suggested.

Curiously, are there any plans for a release or update that will address the suggestions?

Thanks for quickly responding Sanket.

Nopes, no one knows anything about the updates.
