I'm not really into the group chatroom idea, but this new IM FB style thing could be very useful. There's so many times I've had to PM back and forth with people over things that could be discussed much faster.
So, do you want to chat?

This is EXACTLY the kind of issue we are hoping the new feature will take care of... that painfully slow back and forth for quick questions with short answers. PM is still great for lengthy discussions, but for quick questions of comments, this rocks.

Glad you guys are liking it. There are some annoyances (as slave1pilot noted) but overall, I find it very helpful already. Again, big thanks to Terminal Fettler for making this possible and thanks to everyone else who sent donations anyway! We have the $$$ for another months of service!

Thanks terminal fettler. and used it last night.
wow you can get to know people a lot better and have better conversations. So often I get bored of the threads that are up and like to just say hi or thanks. This also lets me ask immediate questions like how is this part of the kit supposed to go together again?
Lots of uses

Ditto.
Used it and liked it but the slow typing/response time almost makes it too much of a hassle to deal with. Plus the automatic chat bar covers up the "next/previous" links I'm trying to view pics that someone's posted. Any way to change the settings to get rid of the bar that automatically pops up?:wacko
For those who want to turn the chat feature off (and not talk to your fellow members because you are anti-social... j/k) the feature can be turned on and turned off through the "My Hellmet"/ Go to my helmet then in the left collumn under Settings and Options choose Edit Options. Scroll to the bottom of the Messagin & Notification field and choose "No" from the drop down menu where you are asked to Enable the Chat bar. Scroll to the bottom and click save... Bye, bye chatbar...

what constitutes a "web 2.0" wiki?
that's a term that's sufficiently vague that i never quite know what people mean.
what does that offer that the current wiki doesn't? how would that compare, to, say wikipedia?
Don't play dumb Brian.. A web 2.0 wiki... you know.. with the roundy corners and the glossy plastic sruface... Kinda has a 3D look with a slight drop shadow... geez... everyone knows that! They have far superior info than the stinky web 1.1 wikis... all blocky and dark.. one color... no gradients...

LOL.
You kids and your glossy surfaces! Why, I remember when I put my first background image on a web page. That was RADICAL! I couldn't even see it on my own computer!
Why, we used to have to keep entire PAGES to under 50Kb so that they wouldn't take a week to load!

My chat bar disappeared, then when I went to "My Helmet", Edit Options, set "enable chat bar" to Yes (it was already set that way), then clicked Save changes at the bottom of that page, the bar came back.
