Is it possible for registered users to auto login to the chat with their drupal username? Currently, in order to be something other than 'guest' you have to put in a username. This is very inconvenient and allows people to use names that aren't theirs.

Allowing registered users to have their name used when they load the page (chat) would be much more user friendly.

1. I think there should be someway to make sure that guests can not use a registered users name as well.

2. Also think that they are identified as guests rather than registered users. May be this could be done by appending or prepending a user definable string to each guests name.

Thanks bowob! That was fast ;)

I agree with nigeria, it would be nice to

1) limit guest names to non registered users names and/or,
2) append a 'guest' string to the end and/or
3) have an option to not let guests choose their own name (autologin for guests too).

Thanks for the quick registered user autologin. It's working well :)

Yes, it would be nice, I note it for a future update.
