We've got things rigged so that when you're signed up on the site it automatically signs you into the chat when you click on the Chat Room. Not sure if you can get to the Chat Room without logging on, as I haven't tried, but you might be able to.
Hope this helps. |
That is interesting and defiantly possible. As for a quick implementation, it would require an upgrade of the forum software and the attachment of additional components. I will look at including a chat when I migrate us to a new server (probably some time in the next 3 months).
My only reluctance is that chat is not permanent and therefore discussions which take place there would not enter our archive. Not a huge concern but there is the possibility of useful information only being shared between chat participants and then quickly forgotten.
