id like that number too, if possible. number AND the list of usernames would be even better. i think i can get it through php sessions, but of course it would be easier to just get it from chat, if it were available.
This is an older thread, but I was about to post much the same. In VBulletin, I would like to obtain the number of users in the chat rooms so I can put it at the top of the forum so that members know it is active. Possibly also a list of the members in a sidebar.
