A few years ago, just before we moved to Missouri, I started on integrating a chat into the forums. The chat was pretty alright except anyone could log in as anyone else. I didn't like that aspect of it, so I shelved it.
Well, this week I have been working on the chat to make it fully integrate into the forums. I'll finish the integration after I recover from the surgery this week. If I don't have any major distractions, I should get back to working on the chat in a couple of weeks!
