I've noticed that there are usually between 2 and 12 members online here at any time. I thought it might be useful to give people the chance to chat live, so as an experiment, I've added a very basic 'model engineering' chat facility to my web site. If enough people take part it would be easy to move to a more sophisticated system (maybe here on MECH, admin?). As the chat facility is hosted by a third party I wouldn't bother registering as a user (you might get oodles of spam email if you do) - just go to this page on my site and choose a username (you might need to fiddle about to get one that isn't already in use) I'm not planning on being there round-the-clock myself but anyone can use it anytime if they fancy a natter or maybe need a quick answer to a problem? Here's the link... www.artefact-rescue.co.uk/chat.htmlEnjoy.

Paul They tried it on the TR Register forum which has a much larger membership and it wasn't very successful. Ron

Odd thing is that I can only get it to work with Firefox, whereas my usual browser (Deepnet Explorer) doesnt show anything.
On the two occasions I have tried it, there was nobody in. lol

You probably just need Java enabled/plug-in installed in your browser.
If anyone would like to suggest a 'good time' maybe some of us could congregate then? How about 8:30pm UK time?

DoooH - I thought you meant live AUDIO chat , like teamspeak as used in online gaming . A 20 slot server is less than a fiver a month and it is great to actually hear other people talk ! Abby.
