Is it possible to add a private chatting feature on the forums? It's better and quicker than writing messages. Just like the facebook chat.

There's already a chat feature

Yea, but it's 'global' not 'private'.

Unless you want to send innapropriate messages, I don't see why you need private chat lol

Admins should be able to know what your chatting about. Anyway, its faster than sending a message.

lol it's not "private" if Admins can read it.

Do you mean like a page dedicated to chat? So you'll like click on a link and be brought to a chat room? If so that would be sweet

Private chatting is faster than sending messages (messages are also private and admins can also check them). There should be nothing bad about this.

I'm so stupid srry I think I misread somewhere... pop up chat like Facebook?.... So you could chat with your friends on this site would be kinda cool but I prefer the group chat type things

Well there could also be a group chat along with 1 to 1 chat.

PMs are pretty much instant. As for private chatting, I don't believe there would be too many high quality plugins for phpbb.

If you are still for some reason against chatting on the public chat, you could always setup a chatroom with a site like chatzy.com. You can start a private chat for however many people you want.

Other than that, I'd suggest trying the public chat. If you wanna talk to one person no one will oppose

Is phpBB free? Do you need servers at home connected 24-7? I only got into Dreamweaver.
