Observant cousins may have noticed the new "Chat" button on the main menus. Does this mean chat has arrived for YaBB SE? Well, the answer is yes and no. Midnite, dom and I are in the process of checking out this new feature and so far we
really like what we see. However, we're not quite ready to open the room up "officially" yet. That doesn't mean that the rest of you can't check out the link, though. You won't get too far because the room is password protected and none of you know the password.
(Once we're ready to hold our first chat, the password will be automatically entered for all cousins registered with dsboards.) But I *think* you should be able to register your usernames with the chat server. The server will automatically know the name you're using on the forum (and it will append the extention "_srabsdod" to it, so don't be surprised to see that). If the server recognizes you, you should be able to choose a password (which I highly recommend so you can protect your account) and fill out a profile. ( The server was undergoing maintenance yesterday, so it was offline intermittently. I believe that maintenance has been completed now. But if you find that you can't get in, try again sometime later.
)
Keep a lookout for an announcement of when we'll be holding our first "official" chat...
