Ok I am look for a couple things. I am asking becuase I have searched this forum other forums and the net and haven't come up with anything good yet.

First I am looking a way to display the users on my site. The current amount of users and where they are.

I downloaded some php scripts and played around with them a bit to only realize that the ones I installed needed me to change all my pages from .htm to .php that is not possible to change all my pages extention to .php. I can add html to all my pages or what ever I just can't change all my ext.

Just in case it matters, I do create my pages in Front page

Second are there any good chat scripts that don't hog server resources that are easily customized as far as colors and things of that nature. I realize both things I have asked for may not be able to do but I figure it can't hurt to ask thanks for you help in Advance...X

I don't think is possible to have this information with plain html for because php normally uses sessions from where you take the info.

About chats i have found very nice chats(i don't remember any now) in www.hotscripts.com.

if you have access to the servers php.ini you can declare .htm to be parsed too ...

the you just insert a php-scriplet that writes the online-users into a DB / Textfile, compares them and creates an output.

To get the section the user is in will be a bit more difficult I think. Therefore you either have to set a session or a get variable. But this would mean you have to change every link in your html (which could be more work than just changing the ext. to php ;))

Hope I understood your problem ^^ ( would be much easier if it was in german :D )
