Is there a facility for an on-line chat room with this board software ? Be nice to have a chit chat with other members who are logged on. Some other forums I belong to have this facility and as well as ad-hoc chats suggest a particular time e.g. 8-10pm on wednesday nights for a get together. One forum I belong to jumps to bravenet.com chat room facilities so may be extra work and I'm sure you have enough on your hands with the success of this forum so may be an idea for the future. As we all work alone it's nice to touch base with others for a chat. Might also keep the moans of a bad day or a dor off the forum as you can get instant sympathy about what a bad day you had - my wife isn't interested so need someone to agree how hard done by I am

Blindwizard,
I am on the case looking for the right piece of software that will run right on the site. What I think would be usefull is a box where you can all leave brief messages known as a shout box, a bit like msn messanger but actually on the site with auto loggin when your on here......erm. It all gets a bit complex but needless to say I will contact the mods once the html code has been sorted and they may go from there, they may not.
It would be a good place to get a quick arghghgh of your chest rather than having to write a whole post.
More to follow.

BEZBOZNY Like some of your ideas but not sure about the shout box .Would this mean that the number of visible posts would decrease. If so I would be afraid that there is a possibility that we could have a senario where people may think that they are the only one with a particular problem.,or am I being paranoid mm

A shout box only allows for a small amount of text at a time, which dissapears after a set period of time. So, if you saw someone online, listed below somewhere you could type up a quick message to them. Certainly not for discussing large problems or issues so your posts would not decrease.
The other option is VON via something like TeamSpeak or Ventrilo which is actually voice communication rather than typed.
Thanks.

Bezbozny. Having trouble getting picture on left hand box ie. under my name. Any advice on how to do it, and will it stay there for subsequent posts?
Also where did you get your clip, and can you put more info about yourself in that box?
