Works really smoothly! :D
I don't know why facebook takes those awful decitions. This is a great solution for all of us who don't like the new sidebar.
And is compatible with my emoticons bar (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/50826)
Thanks!

Great Code! The only thing I changed to fit my "wants" a little better was, at the bottom of your source code, where you list out the styles. I changed the classes of "fbChatSidebar" and "fbChatSidebarBody" by removing the height. This allows for the chat lists to take up the entire screen, rather than just the 350px currently allowed.

I was very annoyed with the "new and improved" facebook chat. Why do I want to see a bunch of people who aren't online? Why can't I find all of the people who ARE online?

I installed this and lo and behold, back to seeing only those online friends--just like I want!

I use this script with Opera and it just works excellent!

If you have https with Facebook, you will have to activate "User JavaScript on HTTPS" on opera:config and restart Opera.

It's the one and only script for the old Facebook-Chat!

Wauw! I'ts not 'like' the original Facebook chat, it works exactly the same as the original! Including groups!
Very very nice!

Wonderful script. Well done! It's great to be rid of that new chat bar.

The script works as promised.

I have reviewed the source code to make sure it doesn't do anything harmful.

In case you can no longer see the link to go online after installing, you can copy and paste the following line into your url bar:

javascript:Chat.goOnline();

Note: don't EVER paste long javascript lines into your address bar, especially from people you don't know, and especially as part of some requirement to see funny pictures on Facebook.

puts the chat back to near normal great script

Work very nice, Thanks :)

thanks bro
