We now have chat
 

See the link in the navigation bar.

I will be setting it up in the very near future such that we will be able to see on the bottom, who, if anyone is in chat.

We now have "online status" to tell us what users are in the chat room.

Enjoy.

so now I finally have a viable alternative to CB, when it comes to mouthing off while watching a BYU game (about the only time I do chat).

CB chat during games is getting crazier every year. It's hard for it to be meaningful when 50 people are typing at the same time.

Can we use the occasional potty mouth word while in CG chat?

For the time when the offense refuses to stick with that is working (the run) and try our darndest to throw our way into (but actually out of) a game?

During our brief chat session this morning (yes it does work), I kept getting kicked off, saying something like "session expired". It happened about every 3 or 4 minutes. Fairly annoying.

Is there anything that can be fixed with the chat settings or my personal browser settings to avoid this in the future?
