I've talked to people newly introduced to Limechat, and they often get confused that they type in a Channel name, and can't add or join it (the OK button does not become active). They will even List Channels and find the channel they want, and cut and paste this channel name, and it won't work.

The reason is that they need to add a '#' in front of the channel name when adding it. Since this may not be obvious to people new to IRC and/or LimeChat, I think that if the channel name is rejected due to a lack of '#' in front, there should be an error message telling the user that all channel names begin with '#'.
