mooniac58 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 This is a notice for members that the Chat feature on the site is now gone. IPBoard (where we get our forum software from) decided to stop supporting chat all together. When I applied a security update today it essentially forced Chat to be disabled. I never saw many people using chat so I hope this is not a huge loss for our community. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 We are so asynchronous as a group, it was hard to make use of the chat room. Except that one time when the site was partial out of service and chat was still working. Thaks for keeping us in the know.

Marauder Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 All I know is I ended up in chat a few times and wondered how I got there. It was usually with someone else and neither one of us even "chatted". Weird feature for an Internet forum.
