Talkomatic: The WordPress Plugin
Talkomatic is a unique text chat facility for the web. It’s different from run-of-the-mill chat rooms in that each participant has their own little section of the screen to type into, and you see what other people are typing letter-by-letter, as they type it, so the experience is more immediate. Talkomatic runs on its own server at http://talko.cc. Anyone is free to use it there at any time.
The Talkomatic plugin lets you embed a Talkomatic chat room in a page or post on your own WordPress site, using a simple shortcode. The chat room appears on your page within an iframe.
See it in action HERE
For example, putting this shortcode in a page would embed a chat room named “Elbow Room”:
[talkomatic room=”Elbow Room”]
If the shortcode specifies a room name, any user who navigates to the page where this shortcode is included will automatically enter the named chat room. If no room name is specified, the user will enter the Talkomatic lobby, which displays a list of active rooms and participants and allows the user to choose an existing room or open a new room, which may be public or private.
If the named room is not already open, it will be opened automatically as a public room. If the named room is already open and is public, the user will enter the room if there is an open slot. (There is a maximum of five participants per room.) If the room is open as a private room, the user will be required to type the room key before being allowed in. The room key is defined by whoever opens the room and designates it as private.
Talkomatic chat rooms do not place any burden on your WordPress server because they are hosted on the independent server at http://talko.cc.
Using the Talkomatic shortcode – Examples:
Put user into a specific named room, with default iframe dimensions (900 x 850 pixels):
[talkomatic room=”Elbow Room”]
Put user into a specific named room, with custom iframe dimensions:
[talkomatic room=”Broom Closet” width=600 height=800]
Put user into the Talkomatic lobby, where they can choose a room or open a new one:
[talkomatic]
Put user into the Talkomatic lobby, with custom iframe dimensions:
[talkomatic width=650 height=900]

While using your plugin talkomatic I discovered a problem that if 10 people are chatting in a single room it is difficult to recognize who has send the message bcoz the 10th person didnt come in the screen, we have to scroll down every time to recognize who has send the new message. And it is impossible if there are 30-40 people in a single room.
So if you could solve this problem it will be extremely helpful or if you can provide the code i can personally try to implement that. I know you cannot provide the code So i am requesting you to please implement this feature as soon as possible.
Talkomatic has a built-in limit of five people in a room. It will not let 10 or 30 or 40 people into a room. If you try to enter a room that already has five people in it, it will tell you the room is full. So I’m not sure if you are actually talking about Talkomatic or some other chat room.
