There are a few updates and fixes.
Firstly sorry for the few known bugs that are about, like translation being broken in the widget. They will all get sorted soon enough though.
The main client has been updated:
* Translation working
* Things working better in IE – layout wise etc
* Quite a few icons are now included within the javascript as data urls. This may well improve loading speed.
* Tab complete on nicks now works if you’re not at the end of the input bar
* You can now choose where the ‘extraContent’ area goes – left, middle, or right
* Google maps links can now be parsed and shown in the extraContent area
* Links can now be set to open in the extraContent area (Default is disabled)
* /showurl 
You may also notice in the screengrabs that the adbar shows the channels topic, and no adverts. This will be available for the premium account option a little later.
Hit a couple of milestones, with a daily peak of around 400 users connected from mibbit to freenode, and almost hit 3,000 total peak users today – should hit that later in the week.

Yeaaah, whenever someone pastes a URL in chat, it doesn’t appear. It doesn’t get parsed as an image into a thumbnail (if it is an image), it doesn’t show the youtube logo if it’s a youtube. It doesn’t show the url if it’s a normal link. It just shows a blank white line, with nothing clickable anywhere. I see lots of white gaps in the chat, and then people will talk about what delightful things they found at the URL, but there’s no way for me to ever find it out, because it just shows up as a blank line when it’s pasted in chat.
I’m in FF3.0.1 in Vista Ultimate SP1, and this problem just started today.
Yup sorry about that… There was a rogue line of debug left in which caused issues.
All fixed now.
I’m still having no luck with Pastebin. When I copy something to clipboard, then click on Pastebin, I get the Pastebin screen, but can’t get focus (no cursor) and a right-click context menu says there is nothing in the clipboard (paste option is greyed out). Also, ctrl-v (command-v on my iMac) doesn’t paste the clipboard contents into the Pastebin screen either. After I close Pastebin, I can verify that the clipboard contents are still there with any other paste operation. I get the same results on both Windows XP Pro and OS X.
Pastebin was working fine when I first started using Mibbit, but it quit working somewhere around August 20th.
Love Mibbit. Great web app.
