Chatango is a chat that is basic, with a user interface based around HTML5 and JavaScript.

But, prior to the HTML5/JS software was created, the user interface ended up being created using Flash. This version had one feature that is major. Many users still use the outdated Flash version because this feature is lacking through the version that is new.

I really do maybe not claim this script to never be perfect have bugs, and work with every individual’s mini profile. It doesn’t, and also the amount of work required to make sure every mini fits is not also worthwhile, if even feasible, and would create more pests that would have to be fixed. Plus in fixing those pests, other stuff shall break. I am going to make tries to improve it over time, but I shall perhaps not take to for perfection, unless We locate a method that is new works perfectly.

We cannot anticipate what users may put on their profile, and I also have always been not sure from what level Chatango filters the profile text. The script will attempt it’s best to remove any (possibly) harmful code from the profile before showing it. If you do find a protection bug with this, PLEASE inform me immediately and so I can get a fix out at the earliest opportunity.
