I like that the chat box is not on every screen that I go on to. Will you be making chat a separate room that you have to choose to go into? Just curious.
Gymbratsmommy- I believe there is a way to select it so it isn't on your every page. But I do know of quite a few people that wish to have it on every page so they can look around the site while also having a conversation.
So without taking it away i'm sure if you just ask one of the administrators for help and they will tell you where to go so you can not have it as you view the pages .
