After more than a month of programming, we are thrilled to launch our new in-site Instant Messaging (chat) feature.

It's simple and it works just like a Facebook chat.

If you are browsing someone's profile and they are online, you will see a link that says "I'm Online, Click to Chat". Click it, type your first message, and send it. The person being requested has the choice of Accepting or Denying the chat. If someone declines to chat with you, please be respectful and don't keep trying because we have a third option which is to block the person requesting you entirely.

You may have up to 4 chat windows open at any time.

This should be a lot of fun and you now really have a reason to stay logged into your account - you never know what good looking guy or gal will try to chat with you while you are logged on!

Don't want to ever get chats? You can disable the feature under "Edit > Edit My Account"
