There was a thread started in TB forum re: this, and word is they actually are working on it this time. I think there are a couple of things unique to FT they have to get sorted out first. We'll see how it goes. But I'm hopeful sometime in the next few weeks they might have something. Plus, it might behoove them to do a 'test' w/ some of the regulars.
Cheers.

We're actively pursuing new chat software that will handle the requirements of FT chat. I'll update when I hear we've found our white whale.

And FYI the specific issue we're running into is finding one that will allow us to connect a member's CHAT login with their FT handle. Otherwise we run the risk of people chatting using others' handles, and we don't want that.

We REALLY want a chat function. A stable, feature-rich one that we can use to hold awesome hosted chats by industry leaders. We'd rather spend a little more time finding and implementing the right one than ending up with a feature-compromised one.

I can imagine! Ugh. We're being careful.

One month later, nothing done. Not surprised.
