Where is the chat button? Can't see it.
Hi Maisie
When we were canvassing opinion about what people wanted from a new forum a few conflicting ideas came up - no advertising, a gallery, and live chat. Live chat and a gallery consume a lot of storage and bandwidth, which means more expensive hosting. No advertising (which personally I think is a good thing) means we have to fund the forum some other way.
In order to achieve our aims without advertising we decided to opt for subscription instead, at £1 per month or £10 per year. We certainly don't want to exclude anybody, but thought the subscriptions are reasonable and affordable.
If you are a subscriber you will see the chat button and be able to post photos to the gallery. May I suggest that if you want to try it but are not sure you take a monthly subscription? You can cancel if you decide it's not worth it for you.
Hope that helps
Andy
