- still trying to fix an issue that causes the chat server to hang sometimes
- changed some server settings that may be freeing up resources too fast

- additional server maintenance commands
- open 2 new rooms

- show # of players online (per room) in the home page
- add special notes to registering AOL players
- modified site header, now shows total # of online players as well

- added some game maintenance controls to the clients/servers
- optimized server codes, added some clean-up routines
- auto-disconnect players who have been idle too long (“idle” currently means player has not joined any bingo game in the last 45 minutes)
- try to put newest incoming players at the top of the chat list so it’s easier to see those who just entered the room (this is not always guaranteed though)
- give newbies some initial hint messages to cover their usual first questions

- change local connection codes, capture some data to detect problem areas

- fixed possible Flash object tag errors in IE
- disabled original chat truncation codes, now it just clears all chat history when it reaches more than 500 lines (note to myself: probably need to optimize this area, chat seems to slow down significantly when there’s a lot of chat text already)
- minor change in bingo to move past the loader screen
- added new ALL-CAPS bingo room, put some basic security measures
- preliminary codes for player’s online status
