| | | LOL. That would be funny. And I agree with Raptor that the Chat icon should take you directly into the chat itself.

| | | Yeah, I agree as well. Especially for people with slow computers, I'm sure its a hastle to wait for an extra page to load. Also, use that icon!

| | | Great Idea. I agree the Chat icon should lead directly to the chat window. Make it so #1. |

| | | At this time we don't plan on having the chat button on the forums page. We are trying to make all the interactive elements of the site reachable from one page. The Enthusiasts page. SpeedZone, Chat, Forums, and the sections that are coming soon; The Business of Coasters (more in depth look at the companies behind parks and rides) and The Local Edition (Free web hosting for sites devoted to a particular Park or Coaster). |

| | | That sounds good Alex except for only one thing- if you're in one place, say the forums, and you've decided that you're finished there and want to go somewhere else, instead of being able to go directly there from where you're at you're forced to go back to the enthusiasts page first (a couple of steps from the forums in itself), then to whereever you want to go. Not as nice on the ease of use.
I myself have been frustrated with having to go to the enthusiast's page from the main page in order to get to the forums and other places. Links to everything at the least should be placed on the main page so that they are easy to find as not everyone will realize that the enthusiasts page is in truth a directory. Plus the fact that they will be much easier to find there.

| | Hey Alex, you might want to make all the stuff on one page but if you haven’t heard people are not going to chat now. There are almost no people in chat any more. Here is a reason why people don’t go to chat now… Quote:
SFGadvKing
i used to be in the chat very often even when people werent in it. the reason i dont go in anymore that often is two reasons. 1) it takes too long to go into enthusiasts and then click chat. why cant they make it how it used to be with a link right on top. 2) when i click chat, it takes about 5 minutes for it to connect. with all of that, its just not worth it.
| Something needs to be done, and fast, because every day less and less people come.
BTW I think a "listen up" about chat and stuff on the TN main page would help 
EDIT: some boards have a thing like who's online but it tells who is in chat. I think it would be cool but I don’t know if it would help or hurt.

| | | I have a complaint about the coaster counts...why are both sides of Gemini counted as two coasters and the different directions on PKI's Racer also counted as two??
