The Chatbox improvements

These are the things that needs to be improved in chatbox:
1. Linking
You cant click a link that someone posted in chatbox with paste function. It acts like simple text.

2. Auto-disconnect timer
It should be allowed to forum owner to change auto-disconnect timers. Now everyone gets disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity on chatbox

3. Overall header chatbox
There should be a option to enable chatbox on all forum pages - not just on the main page cause some people prefer reading forum topics AND chatting at the same time.
edit: note that i said OPTION so this would mean that you could enable this if you wanted, not that it would be on default everywhere!
4. Private messages
If its not too hard it would be nice to have private message option on the chatbox.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

Wow, the first suggestion with multiple suggestions. This is quite nice.

Cool i like it. I think you can do #4 in the chatbox. Right click on a users name in the box the the left.

4 yes nice idea
