if you have seen the addins for Visual Studio that shows block-starts when you hover over the }, where the "if (whatever) {" is off the screen, you know what I mean

The auto-highlight for both explicit and implicit replies is cool, however the bent-arrow needs to have an "@username" auto-appended to it because the only way to see who it was aimed at is to do the hover.
don't count on it. It took them like 8 months to get Wave to the point where it could handle seriously large conversations. Impressive once they had it going, but probably a bit more than SO needs on its plate
So then the heuristics would have to be more than that
If you have something in the box, and that something starts with a : + a number that refers to a message (ie. something that the post-processing would convert to a link), hide the reply link
Otherwise, insert the : + number + space at the start of the text
When you said "have to head off, wine is needed", was that a 2 second break? or more like "see you later"? :) Because I responded to the latter, but it looks like the former
We were recently frozen in a chat room for being too off topic, and because I suggested it. (Oops) I do think it is a good idea overall, but it needs some work.
The feature is intended to get discussion going back in the right direction, which is why it was used here. A few people began talkin...
Re the lock; a more graceful mechanism is already in-progress.
For now, I guess Ben just changed the room's mode. I guess we could broadcast that and make your clients aware of it, though. Seems a far-far-corner case one the improved mechanism exists, so I doubt it is worth it (we shouldn't be changing the room-mode very frequenetly)
so today I took off a little early, figured it would be one of those times where I'd be pretty hopeless at finishing anything profound in the last half hour of the day
turns out to be a WPF project -- I've never used it before, but I have a book. I made a comment to my coworker that I should really take the time to learn it, and I have a full weekend ahead of me to do so
so he looks at me says "ju, darlingness, don't spend your weekend learning WPF, go out and have some fun"
and me he made me promise that I'd use my weekend to party irresponsibly and immorally
It would be really helpful if I didn't have to manually join the rooms I'm interested in every time I launch chat. What I'd suggest is one of two mechanisms for auto-joining chat rooms.
Auto-Join Favorites
Make a setting so that you will automatically join rooms you mark as 'favorites'.

We spent an hour telling her that Chat was not like IRC Chat. It is meant to be viewed, reviewed, and focused on a topic, not off-topic things like most IRC Chats tend to be about
