I don't know if this is possible in gabbly, or is already a feature in the rumoured upcomming Milovana chatroom.
The reason:
- If you see that people are in the chatroom, it might make people curious to see who and thus enter the chat.
- I agree that people who wants to see if people are in the chatroom, won't enter the chat if it's empty. But they seem to click out of the chatroom instant anyway in the current situation.
I would guess, the best place for the counter would be at the right side of the 'Chat' button.
btw, I got the idea from someone else, who I met in the chatroom

Re: View the amount of people in chat
Absolutely this is planned for the new chatroom. It's not implemented right now, so I don't know whether it'll be there at launch, but we'll definitely add it eventually. Great suggestion, thanks!Jaberwocky wrote:I don't know if this is possible in gabbly, or is already a feature in the rumoured upcomming Milovana chatroom.
