I don't use it because I'll get into trouble.

Just click on the link at the top of the page in the lower menu bar. It's REAL easy. It's like a message board but only in real time. Of course, nothing you type in there is saved anywhere, so if something important is said, you need to save it yourself. Be warned, though, that it can become quite addictive....

I don't mind chatting but it has to be in the evenings after work when I'm online. So Jim, if you do another test some evening I'd be happy to be one of the testers

Rich, I agree that an evening test might work as well, lots of the folks are online after around 7pm or so, why don't we try another test on another day a bit later, maybe even send out a heads-up about what is going on and let a bunch of people know about it. Maybe then we could get 20 or 50 or 100 people logging in.

Rich, Here is another thought. Can you setup the site so that we can open a seperate window for the chat room? That way we could log into the chat room while we check the "new" stuff, or "Mods", etc, and watch to see if anyone else pops in, then respond to say hello or whatever.

Yeah, I agree. But the thing is, no matter when something would be scheduled, it will not be convenient, must less possible, for everyone. Hopefully someone will capture the entire chat session (I believe that is possible with the software) and post it in a thread. Perhaps if we determine that a forum is helpful for the chat topic discussions, it could also store the transcripts of the chats to give people a feel for what to expect from this feature.

As for broadcasting a heads up to everyone, it really isn't advisable to send blanket emails these days. The spam blockers are too trigger happy and may easily mark this site as being a spam source. I try to be very conservative about using that feature.
