Unfortunately, online chat facility (similar to yahoo, msn etc.) is not available in this forum. However, you can use private messages to chat with other members. Even though it is not instantaneous, it is still an easy way to communicate with other members. Many of our current members frequently use private messages. Click
here to know how to send a private message.
We want this forum to be a permanant repository of useful information so that members can come anytime in future and get benefited by it. In online chat, the information exchange between two members is lost once the chat session is over.
