Lightbulb ChatINFO Feature

A small PopUp at the time a new ChatBox opens (or a small button/option IN the regular CHATBOX) that provides INFORMATION on the initiator, specifically:

- What file they clicked on to open this chat
(and what search parameter found it, or if its in download)
- How much total download/upload bandwidth user has alloted
- Connection Type (Modem. T1. etc)
- Client type and version
- If user's files are viewable or not (click to view)
- A personal (optional) contact field

(optionally also possibly things like:
- IP address
- how long the user has been online
- how much total MB and # of files user has available to share
- If user classifies as a FREELOADER or not by current settings.
etc.)


WHY???

Because its annoying as heck when someone opens a chat window and asks you: "Hey dude... does this file work?" or "Is this the FULL version?" I'm thinking... "WHAT FILE!??"

The ChatINFO feature box will allow us to know what the HECK this guy is even talking about (what file) spurned the contact.

Additional results of ChatINFO feature:

1) Decide whether to even talk to the guy
2) I'll know what file/download he is ASKING about
3) I can see if his connection/resources are worth offering it to him
4) I can know some contact info (if he configured some in)

--

ALL information should be configurable to be blocked by the sender for security! (however, those who block.... need to expect that not all chats will be accepted.)


[ Any questions? ASK. This was the short version. ]
