finally have the UCP tab finished and working. updated first post with screen shot
still working on getting the controller to work correctly with the js. messages can be sent but a page reload is required to see the new messages.
delete function is working
avatars are working
font colour hold is working
smilies and bbcodes are working
respond to user is working
who is chatting is working
auto update messages is NOT working <---- probably the most important part
but it's making progress and i'm hoping to have a download available soon
forgot to mention, this is working on phpBB 3.1.3 and so far works with all prosilver based styles
