Updated Chat Room
By Barbara Bray August 30, 2007 -- 03:18 PM
Go ahead and check out the chat feature now. Some of you were concerned about the jumping when you were chatting with others. We fixed that because of your request, so now it is seamless. Just make sure you are in the right chat room. The room that shows up is the All Community Chat room and everyone can read what you are writing. You will also notice that your messages will stay in the room even after you leave. We did this because many of you wanted to archive the chat. So now the messages will last about 2 hours. Also one more thing - when people left the chat room, their name and profile would ... more...

We have other ideas floating around in our heads on designs. Since it�s almost Fall, Barbara took the picture in the banner when she was up at Tahoe and gave to Pearl to make a new Fall template: To see the new templates, edit one of your Universal builders and go to Customize to Templates and scroll to the bottom rows. more...
