Our Chat Room S/W is Ready for REA Closing night :)

Hey guys,

I wanted to mention a couple neat features the chatroom has that Anthony was kind enough to set up for us -

This chat applet will give us the same flexibility that our original chatroom did from a couple years ago. So you'll have the ability to message people privately, create seperate chat rooms altogether, adjust your viewing settings and all that good stuff.

Sending a private message is especially nice. If you click on a user's name from the list on the right, a seperate window opens up altogether. I like that a lot because, whereas before, a private message still appeared in the same scrolling window with all the other messages. So it was difficult to see, and you always kind of worried in the back of your mind if others could see your messages. This gives you a seperate window which I really appreciate and allows you to keep better track of those conversations.

Another nice thing is you can tell who's in the Chatroom already just by clicking on the "Who's Chatting" link next to the "NEW Chat!" link. A small window will open up that simply lists who all is inside. So if you clicked that link right now you should see my name listed there.

Looking forward to the chat tonight. I wish we had more of these scheduled than just one per year. Makes me want to start scheduling them at the end of other important auctions or on a random Saturday night throughout the month or something like that...heh

Won't let me register...keeps telling me that it sent me a verification code in my email, but I'm getting nothing in my email, it's not in my spam folder either.

edited to add: finally sent me a verification code...22 minutes after it said it sent one to me.
