Breakout chat into the sidebar + chat room

[ron_jeremy]

Is it possible to breakout the chat feature from its current position in the nav bar and have it in plain view like the sidebar?

Also, would it be a lot of work to be able to option it to be more like a chat room where members could hop in and out as they pleased?

@ron_jeremy you are probably looking for the shoutbox.

@pichalite Thanks for the reply. I did not know about Shoutbox, but see it is still in development. I will stick with the default chat setup for now until Shoutbox is ready for production.

@ron_jeremy it is compatible with NodeBB v0.9.x
