    How to tell a user that the contact they want to chat to is busy having another conversation

    Hi Adam,
     
    The way I have setup Cute Messenger is to open chat windows in an IFRAME on my web pages. Thus avoiding pop-ups. This works great between two users.
     
    But when a third user wishes to chat with a user who is already having a conversation I need a way to tell him to wait.
     
    I have modified ChatUI_IMOpenConversation() to only open one messenger window at a time (in the IFRAME). This
    prevents the third user from butting-in to the existing conversation between the first two users. But I still need a way to inform
    the third user to wait because what happens is that their messenger window opens in their browser but not in the contact's
    browser because they are already chatting. So the third user can chat on their own and not know that the messages are not
    being received.
     
    Thanks for any help.
