Chatroom opens in new window so you can stay online in it while going back to forums. Take note that all conversations here will not be saved. Messages that are important and/or need to be know to anyone should be posted in the forums. To get a user's attention here, add his/her exact name to your message or use the audicon (the button with note icon) to all online users.
Our chatroom requires Java. Visit http://www.java.com/getjava/ to get one.
If you can't access the chatroom, you can use the shoutbox until we resolve the problem. If it happens that nobody is online in the chatroom, just proceed in the forums. After all - who are you going to chat with?
