Alert suggestion for SpyroChat?

I was wondering if it would be possible to put in an alert feature on SpyroChat, where if you are working in another window on your computer and someone types a new message into SpyroChat, then the SpyroChat window gives an alert sound and the window on the taskbar flashes blue to indicate a new message. Sort of similar to MSN messenger... when MSN isn't the active window, it flashes and gives a sound when someone types in a message.
Or is there already such a feature in SpyroChat that I'm unaware of?

I don't believe there is. But instead of a sound, there should just be flashing. It'd be annoying if you were doing something else that was playing a sound (e.g. music, games) and you keep on getting an annoying alert sound whenever someone typed a message in chat.

Agreed with A Guy.

Also, a quick suggestion: have the scrollbar on the chat window automatically scroll down as people post messages in there. I often find myself responding to a message that happened a while ago because I didn't see the other messages that the scroll bar didn't reveal below.

@bmah, it auto scrolls but sometimes autoscroll wont work if you are using internet explorer or have a really low screen resolution.

Flashing works. It helps at times, but other times, it would get annoying ... Constant flashing. Sound wouldn't be much better though.

I use the actual mIRC program to go on chats, and if you use that you can right-click on the #spyrochat tab (or whatever it is that's set) and then select beeping, then on. It gets really annoying though. Flashing is also an option, right-click the tab, then flashing, then on.
