OJ is working on upgrading our site. There we issues with some things being outdated. There were also issues with people having Virus warnings pertaining to our website when they try to visit the site. It has something to do with how our site was set up. So this has required some changes be made. Oj is working very hard to get all this set up and going, but like anything else, there will be some growing pains. Right now, the chatbox will disappear after a few minutes, and you have to refresh the webpage. Please be patient. He's a one man show. It will take just a bit, but good things are coming.

@DOUGLAS @F-Red I share your frustrations with the current forum - but please note it is temporary.  The old forum software was outdated and the company who develops it was not developing the most secure product - hence the change to a new forum platform.  During the migration, we tried to make the transfer as seemless as possible, but there are growing pains along the way.  For example, the Chat Box - there are other options I am exploring installing for a better user experience.  I appreciate all of your patience during this transition period. 
@rablack21 thanks for sharing info and your patienece
