# Basic function left out – timestamp

 * Great script which seems to be light weight. Typically chats scripts can usually
   load up your server by the constant pinging to show newly added chat messages,
   this is why many chat scripts are hosted. The ability to easily craft your own
   custom CSS is also great. However the default CSS is designed well, practical
   and easy on the eyes.
 * Timestamping on chats are in fact a default function – you have to hover over
   the chat message to see the time posted.

 * Glad to help:
 * “Unfortunately the timestamp function is not a part of this script, which is 
   vital to monitor when the chat message was posted.”
 * Yes, there is a timestamp function included with the plugin. On the front-end
   each chat message includes the timestamp in the HTML. And you can hover your 
   mouse over any chat message to see when it was posted. This is a design decision
   to help keep the UI clean and uncluttered. Also it enables custom-coded solutions
   via the provided markup. Further, on the backend, you can visit the Manage Chat
   panel to view the timestamp of each chat message. So you’ve got timestamps available
   on either side of WP.
 * “My bigger question and concern is, why has this not been integrated for such
   a vital function?”
 * It has been integrated, see previous reply.
 * I hope that you will reconsider your rating. I’ve spent years of my time developing
   and supporting this FREE plugin at no cost to anyone but myself. A negative review
   really hurts, and seems unfair in this case. The plugin is quite capable, and
   does in fact provide timestamp capability on both frontend and backend.

 * From your messages I did not understand that it is in fact included. Let me check
   and revise the review. My apologies.
