The chat room is really easy to use and it would be an instant way for people to get help and support. I have checked in many times, even when I know that it's daylight hours or evening in the US, but I am always the only one there. I have chatted with 'Madi' (who is in Australia), who also found 'chat' easy. It's a shame that this wonderful facility is not used more often. Maybe I just keep missing the busy times, being in a different time zone (UK) . If you haven't tried it , I suggest that you do so, if you see that 'friends' happen to be signed into the forum. Tonight (today for all in US) I think it could have helped many people who are worried about pets who are very sick. Sometimes when you are distraught it's hard to compose a full 'post' so instant chat could be very beneficial. Please keep posting though, I don't for one second think that 'chat' should replace the forum postings, but used alongside the forums for instant help, advice and companionship.

for some reason, the chat room really never caught on. i think it is because no one organizes a mutual meeting time, and with time zone differences, etc. it can get difficult to meet up with people. it's a shame, this is one of the best chat rooms i've seen.

you can access it from any page of the website (aside from the forum), or just click here: http://lightning-strike.com/chat/flashchat.php no registration or password is needed, just login using your LS screen name. for those who are adventurous, you can create your own private chat room as well.

I agree LS support, the chat room is great, just have to get a bit more organised.
