Something I've been awaiting for a while is our very own live chat feature. It's here...in all it's beta glory =)
As the new chat's bugs and issues are slowly massaged away...it will get better and better over the next few days and you do/will have the options to:
--Instant Message another site member who is online to have a private chat--you will get a little yellow message at the bottom of the chat box that says "So and So wants to chat with you" and you can click "accept" or "decline"
--Click Change your status to show you as "offline" if you would prefer not to be seen.--please bear with us until this part is fully loaded. I think you are only "visible" if you are on the main page and chat page right now.
Also only members will be able to use our chat--so random outsiders will not be able to troll the chat room. Discussions might still be visible to non-members though...not sure.
If you don't mind being guinea pigs...drop in every so often today and if you SEE the chat box...start chatting away...try it out and report ANY bugs or issues here so I can get them addressed. DO EXPECT random down time on the chat here and there for a while.
Have fun--over the next few days it will become AWESOME!
I'm not seeing anything that I am typing in, basicly just what you are entering. When I type in my comment at the bottom and hit enter it is just staying there, so it doesn't look like I am in.
odd. I will look into it. sometimes there is some lag between when you type in and when it appears...but it seems yours is not appearing at all. Click on my picture in the chat and then click on instant message and let's see if tha twill work
