Thread Name: Chat?
Subject: RE: Chat?
Hello, been at it again.

I noticed that people have been posting threads to organize chats, and I started thinking about how to do this without using the threads.

There is a new link at the top of the threads page that says [ Get someone's attention ]. This is a system that pops up a window on the threads page for the person you want to get the attention of. Send one to yourself to see how it works. So if you want to chat with someone specific, you can "get their attention" by sending them one of these messages. They can't help but see it. When you get one, you can click the senders name to send one right back to them.

This is for short and sweet messages, not to be stored. You should remove as soon as you read it. You can do this by clicking "I read this".

Use personal messages or somehting else to send lengthy messages or messages one may want to keep.

Try it out and let me know if it is useful.
