What's new in Chat Blazer Gold?

a.	Password-Protection	

You can now restrict access to any room by using the User Password -Protection and Room Password-Protection. To set the protection for a room, go to the Password Manager via the Channel/Room Manager by clicking on the "Set Password" button.
All password records are saved where the Chat Blazer server system resides.

b.	Banner Rotation

You can now customise up to 5 different banners, each with its own URL, which will be rotated within the chat window. You can also determine the rotation-time delay. The images, URLs and time delay are preset in both <admin.htm> and <cbclient.htm>. An example of the parameters is given below. 

	<param name="bannerfile1" value="chatbanner1.jpg">
	<param name="bannerfile2" value="chatbanner2.jpg">
	<param name="bannerfile3" value="chatbanner3.jpg">
	<param name="bannerfile4" value="chatbanner4.jpg">
	<param name="bannerfile5" value="chatbanner5.jpg">
	<param name="bannerlink1" value="http://www.chatblazer.com">
	<param name="bannerlink2" value="http://www.amazon.com">
	<param name="bannerlink3" value="http://www.microsoft.com">
	<param name="bannerlink4" value="http://www.infoseek.com">
	<param name="bannerlink5" value="http://www.connectpal.com">
	<param name="bannerinterval" value="15"> <!-- Banner rotation delay -->

For the above, the rotation-time delay is 15 seconds. Note that the maximum size of a banner is 400x40 pixels.

c.	Automatic Logging Out of Idle Users

Idle users will be automatically logged out of the chat server after a specific time of inactivity as specified by the applet parameter. This will help to ease network and server load. 

	<param name="maximumidletime" value="600">

For the above, the user will be logged out after 600 seconds of inactivity, i.e. 10 minutes.

d.	Private Chatting

This new feature allows two users to chat privately within a chat window. Only the two of them will be able to see each other's messages. 

e. Lesser Naming Restrictions

Nicknames and room names can now have spaces inside them.

f.	Audio Enabling/Disabling

You can now toggle the "Enable Audio" checkbox to switch on or switch off sending of audio messages. 

g.	Reservation of Nicknames

You can now reserve certain words which users will not be able to use as their nicknames. The reserved words are saved in <reserved.txt>. You can edit the file to add in more reserved words. This is useful when you do not want people to login with certain nicknames which has significant meaning attached to them, e.g. "admin", "system administrator".
The reserved words are case-insensitive. This means a user cannot use the nickname "ADMIN" when you have specified "admin" as one of the reserved words.

h.	Regular Server Clean Up

The Chat Blazer server will perform regular clean ups to terminate any idle/hanging threads to ease network and server load. 

i. Admin Login Password

The administrator is also required to login using an administrator password which resides in <admin.dat>. You can edit this file to change the administrator's password. The file is contained in <cbadmin.zip>.
There can only be one master password for the administrator. Password will be activated once when the Chat
Blazer server is started.
