Chatroom coming soon???

I am considering making a chatroom for the site. Hopefully accessible via a Java app and a number of chat programs which are available. Ideally it would be open only at certain hours so that we all know that a few of us will be in it at certain times which would mean we can ask eachother for help more directly!

I was wondering if you think this would be a good idea and what hours the chatroom should open for. I was thinking say 9pm-1am or similar.

Posting to gallery

Posting to the gallery is easy enough as long as the images match 2 requirements. If they don't then it would take even someone who isn't very good with a PC to fix which I will explain later.

Scroll down the page to the menu section on the right hand side which says your username (screaminkiwi). The click on create content, and the click on image. A new page will come up. Just put in the title of the image. This is usually upto 5 or 6 words what the image is of or about. Select which gallery you want it to go in. Click browse and select the image you want to upload, and if you want everyone to see it on the site then set personal to disabled. Then you click Preview. If it looks like you want and comes up with no errors then click on post! and thats it. If it moans about the image then do the following.

The images should be no bigger than 800x600 or 600x800. Also the file size can be no bigger than 200k.

To check and to fix both of these problems load them into your favourite picture editor. and tell it to scale sometimes called resize the image to around one of them sizes. All images on the site have been further scaled by the site to 640x480, so could resize them to that.
