got rid of vBchat.. i didn\'t like it.

FlashChat is now up and running - click on the \'Chat\' link at the top in the navbar. i\'ll also be adding it to the side menu shortly.

still have to tweak it a bit, but it\'s ready to be used.

you now have the option of chatting in a module on the site, or in a new window.

the \'users in chat\' section on the forums front page works now. however, you must physically log out of chat in order for it to update properly. if you simply close your browser, or navigate away from chat, you will still show up as logged in.

check out the \'options\' section.. there\'s a lot of things you can customize, like sounds, skins, etc..

post any feedback here..

known issue: the \'search\' and \'quick links\' drop-down menus seem to go behind the chat window. i\'m working on this..

Logging out of chat logs you off the site completely??? A hassle I could live with if need be.

duane - what seems to be the problem? what browser are you using?

fyi, you need to have macromedia flash installed.. get it here if you don\'t have it already:

http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

let me know what\'s going on. you\'re one of the ones that was pushing for a chat room, and i\'d hate for you to not be able to use it..
