thanks for responding doc... but i have to disagree, the chat rooms are not the same. With the main windows you can scroll them down and "hide" the logo that way. In fact, I'm doing that right now but you can't do it in chat.

the logo on the main pages, the forum or what have you, increases your visibility as far as search engines go... it's practical and valuable to have the logo there and it makes perfect sense to me. The chat window however does nothing for traffic or search engines.. it's in java. I don't understand why it needs to be there.

of course, your site, your rules...
