Is it possible to have a chat window on this forum?
It would be very handy talking to people online live..
What do you think, how hard would it be?
cheers

Best thing to do is PM Cindy who is the Webmaster .If you go into IDigress there is a chat sticky on the very top of the page .

Hi Mezz - there is also the private message area, that can be like a chat area sometimes. See you soon, hopefully!

you can also use the whiteboard for that
go into your profile and you will see the whiteboard.

I prefer to use Email or better still just ring friends, GN or other.

Chat! bad idea.
I've seen it destroy another forum I belong to, small groups of members become very (cliquey) minor differences quickly turn into arguments, inappropriate content is a problem, there is no permanent record of discussion (the content auto deletes after a set period) last but not least, many members stop posting in the forum area and simply use chat (in other words chat tends to divide the membership.
There is a good reason most forums don't set up chat.
