Summary

Occasionally there are players on the #0ad webchat who ask a question but only stay for a few minutes, some might come from the game home page. This revision adds a short note to the overlay when hovering over the chat box on the game start page. Image below for more clarity

After revising the FAQ page, I thought it might be good to add a button on the home page.

Original: Click to open the 0 A.D. IRC chat in your browser. (#0ad on webchat.quakenet.org)

New: It opens the 0 A.D. IRC chat in your browser. (webchat.quakenet.org) It is run by volunteers who do all sorts of tasks, it may take a while to get your question answered. Alternatively, you can use the forum (see Website).

Updated after requested change: Click to open the 0 A.D. IRC chat in your browser (#0ad on webchat.quakenet.org). It is run by volunteers who do all sorts of tasks, it may take a while to get your question answered. Alternatively, you can use the forum (see Website).

Click to open was fine.

Okay.

There was a misunderstanding. I thought the old version was desired and no changes were needed, but it was just a rephrasing note to the first sentence, which should not be changed.

You'll need to add context here. E.g. frequently asked questions.

People don't know what "Trac" is, so mentioning it won't really help, IMHO. Also, they're opening it from within 0 A.D., so that it regards 0 A.D. seems logical :)
