Daniel, nice job on the chat! seems to be working just fine.... not sure about the blue/black theme... I'm using it now, but it's kinda hard on the eyes.

Yeah the black/blue theme is just an option if someone preferred a darker site more a guy thing really, and it just a personal option that can be changed, will not be permanent. Chat was once again a test seems to work well.

New colour scheme much better.

You may want to have chat session open in a new window, IMHO.

Chat is now at the top right hand corner of screen next to FAQ (only when logged in), opens in a new browser tab as requested.

Awesome. I went into it the other day. Is there really enough people on here at one time to have the chat room?

Ok, one problem

When I click on Chat is wants me to log in, so when I do it dosn't have enough space for my screen name and then it takes me back to the The Petra Zone log in page and I have to sign in there for it to take me into the chatroom. Just to many extra steps. Is there a way you can make the Chat sign in box to accept longer names?

Will have to look into that one. Yeah the idea of chat is not really for a huge group chat i guess i thought it might be handy if someone wanted to talk to someone directly for what ever reason.

Having a chat area is good. Maybe at some point it will be used a lot more.
