Thanks. :) Regarding images in the stream: working on it, stay tuned. Eventually the stream will be able to do everything the chat view does (and more).

I'm using Firefox 3. SamePlace devel doesn't run on Firefox 2.

In the old interface, I could see who was online, and keep tabs on my chats on the same page...

History repeats. :) I remember when we moved from the first interface to the current one, some really disliked it.

So, you'd like to see both who's online and who's messaging you. What about the stream view? It aggregates presence changes and messages, and should be even better, since in the current interface when someone sends you a message you have to manually switch to that chat to see the message. If it's the input field that you're missing in the stream view, that's coming as well.

Or, can you suggest a different way? I'm open to ideas. :)

Also, can't resize desktop version. Why? Personal hate is for all widgets forever that don't allow resize.

Please, don't assume that if you can't do something it's by design, remember this is a development branch. Desktop version resizes just fine here...

You must have been running on the dev branch already, then it simply got updated like all extensions do. You can switch to the stable branch at any time, just install it from the download page.

Disappearing accounts is not normal. I haven't had problems with that or heard people who did, but who knows? Do you see any error in the javascript console?

First facebook kills it's interface, and now sameplace... is nothing sacred?

Even the interface you liked was the result of killing the previous one. And interfaces are just means to an end, so yeah, I'd say they're definitely not sacred. :) Still, my ears are open to whatever ends are out there as well as to ideas about how to reach them.
