The chat box at the bottom right of your screen tells you how many people are available. If you click it you see a list of names. Click on a name and you are able to chat to that person in private

Isn't the chat room only for subscribers (who have paid a small subscription) and not available to people who have only registered?

Subscribers have 4 red buttons, registered people have one green button and mods/admin have five blue buttons.

As far as I know a member is shown as being logged on and available but they may not actually be looking at the site. Presumably if they are at the computer they will get a ping to say there is a message but if they've gone away they might not hear it. So dont get miffed and think you are being ignored  :)

Is there also a common chat room? Or can you only chat with each person separately?

As far as I know the chat-room was closed down because it wasn't used enough.

I can't find the chatroom.

There was a vote among subscribers shortly after the discussion here, the vast majority voted for closing it down as it was never used (and annoyingly popped up on tablets).

In addition, the chatroom software was incompatible with the security certificate.  If users had wanted it to continue we would have had to find a different chatroom anyway.
