As you browse the site you may have noticed the link up at the top for Chat Rooms. Currently there is only one chat room for the site and it is only available for approved registered users. What the chat room provides is a way to communicate in real time with people who are also currently visiting the site.
To use the chat room, click on the link then click on Room ONe. This will bring up a screen showing the current conversations and archived messages for previous sessions. To chat, use the text box below the message Type your message and then click on the Send button or hit enter. There are still some bugs with the chat so the messages don't always display until someone else enters a message. WHich is why the note on this being semi real time communication. And if you see me on-line, check out the chat room, I may be hanging out there in case you have questions or need help with the site.
