Suggestions / Changes

I like the 'new' look of the site (since the migration last year) and the forum works pretty well. Chat-wise it might be a good idea - occasionally we get into one-liner dialogue between 2 or 3 members. The alternative would be a chat area on the forum. Not sure how it would work - perhaps just as it does now, but if there's a back n forth dialogue going on it would be better to have that in a seperate area - otherwise 'hi-jacked' diaries (such as SPs recently) get flooded and some of the users' own posts, which are usually of more interest than banter about sheep or worms, can be missed by the occasional member/ visitor. So, it would work a bit like 'Playground' does now.

Of course, for those banter-junkies a new 'chat diary' would mean they could catch up with recent topics, too.

I've used MSN chat. It's OK, so long as you remember to show yourself as 'away' when you're busy working/ not in the mood to chat.
