* Locale - Allow users to set a locale for themselves. Which other users can either search for, only allow, etc. For example "English". And use a icon flag to represent that locale. And possible add that icon to the left of a users name. When looking at their information or in searches.

* Gender Orientation - Since asking for Transgender to be added to the Male/Female/Shemale might be a bit of work. Allow us to define our gender role. As you can have by birth male and female transgenders. Who identify and connect with the opposite sexual identity. I had to pick shemale myself, because no transgender option existed. However having a female born transgender pick shemale I would think they would find offensive. Or for those who do not know, for them to pick male. I know I found picking shemale offensive. Though only option available without being misleading. As shemales do not always identify in the same way as transgenders, and vice versa. Hence why the two exist to begin with.

* Re-introduction of a general AChat chat room. Keep it text based only. And a room that people can enter and leave as they wish. Where they can talk openly to all. There would be no whispering in the actual room being made.

* Name coloring .. People that message you, should be colored by their gender.

* Name icon .. anyone that messages you thats on your list as lover,friend,spouse should have an icon to the left of their message to you. For example a simple icon of a buddy icon.

* Locale: A drop box with a context menu like used in many shops would solve the problem. Also another context menu where you can choose the languages you're speaking would be helpful.

* Gender Orientation: Agree, nothing to add

* Re-introduction of a general AChat chat room: The problem with each new "room" - when you enter just for chatting a while, you don't notice other people loging in. You also can't look for them as you're in a room. For those people you are busy/yellow - in room. I also don't want the old general chat back - it was a mess in my opinion. I don't have a perfect solution... what about switching on/off the general chat - if switched on, you get a new window or bigger chatbox on your screen and also have the "old" chatbox for a single talk.

* Name coloring: Agree - though I look at the profile of the person talking to me because I want to know more about her/him - as long as they don't start silly or with a cold invite

* Name icon: Why? If a member of my list is talking to me I know her/him. If you don't know your friends/lovers/spouses there is something wrong...

I think it's not the localization of member that it is more important, but to know their used languages.
And for that, we should be use some flags for precise it.
For localization, the city/country fields are sufficient.

1) mhms my idea exactly.
2) ---
3) The general chat ability would not be in a room sweety. It would be as if you were talking outside a room. You could then freely swap between those talking directly to you, or those talking in the general room. And would not put you in a room, or busy.
4) Yes coloring just makes this easier to see. Even if they talk right off you'll know their gender etc. And can poke into their profile from there.
5) -hehe- You had be giggling on this reply. I do agree. Just thought a bit of quick visual eyecandy also helped with instant message recognition. They do say you notice images before words. Thus before you read "Thisismyfriend" you would see a buddy icon near them. Just something to point at for quick visual reference when chatting is all.

"In computing, a locale is a set of parameters that defines the user's language, country and any special variant preferences that the user wants to see in their user interface. Usually a locale identifier consists of at least a language identifier and a region identifier."

And setting this to a small graphical flag off to the side of a users name. You could then either, know about them without poking into their profile directly. Perform searches for others of a given locale as well. or also block anyone outside that locale from chatting to you. For example if I picked my locale as "English". Only countries with a main language of english could contact me. Everyone else would see something like "Sorry this user is not of the same locale as you." Currently when in Achat about 6-7 of 10 users speak very little of my language. Or not at all. And the ones that speak very little of it confuse me on how they type, as I often confuse them when I also reply. Its what happens with a language barrier. It is by no means to offend anyone. Only to say for others, "Hey, I am only comfortable with interacting with you. If you also know how to talk to me in my native language."

Ok, then I misunderstood your first sentence:

...And a room that people can enter and leave as they wish....

Name icon: True, an icon is better visuable. They just have to be careful we don't get too many colours/icons and it's all just flooded with colours...
Did you notice concerto's ideas?

When they speak little english but activate it in their profile you have the same issues...
