    Along those lines: If you try to care about other peoples' opinions but you just can't do it because you like your own ideas better, are you part of a democracy, or are you a one-person aristocracy? The voices are demanding an answer...

    I've used the chat on occasion, but I type way too slow, so I chat vicariously through drewl. :tongue: :smile:

    I think anyone who has been here for a while remembers when the chat had to be clicked on and prevented surfing the site while keeping up with the chat. NOBODY ever used it. It was a ghost town. Now, the chat is busier than a bee hive, full of info and tall tales. Besides, if it weren't for the chat, how would anyone know when I'm defrosting the garage "Beer Fridge".:drink:

    If you have to empty the fridge first, call Reg. He likes cheap beer. See favorite beer thread.

    By (un)popular demand, I have implemented a feature that allows users to "turn off" the Chat system so that the site loads faster.

    Go to:
    My Settings ->
    Control Panel ->
    Group Memberships ->
    Join the "Disable Chat" Group

    Chat will now be turned off for you!

    If you wish to re-enable chat, just go to the same page and click on "Leave Group" and chat will magically reappear.

    For the record, if you disable chat, you will still be able to get to the chat system by clicking on Community -> Chat.

    Give it a try and let me know if you find any issues!

    New window or not, the old chat room was almost never used until it was moved to a more useful place.

    I speak for the common man. I am the voice of the masses. Yearning to breathe free.
    I say what the less bold are afraid to say. I say what the more intelligent are too smart to say.
    I say sometimes you just have to say,'Screw It.'

    Sorry, I forget that sarcasism often dosen't come across in writen word as it does in spoken word due to inflections in ones voice and so on and so fourth. Once again, I apologize to any and all whom I've offended. Except for ELF800 and 5th Gen owners.
    Yanks again.
    Spank you very much.

    Sarcasm is lost on me. I am one of the most literal persons I know.
    Now facetiousness is something I can relate to.

    The chat room MUST stay! A lot of rides and get together's have come together because of the chat box. The site is not going to be compatible with every machine; it actually goes completely crazy on my old laptop. The mobile mini computers can't be expected to do everything a home computer can do so deal with it until you get home or the office and understand that without the chat box, this site would not be THE destination for the VFR!
