Sissytoo, when you tried to communicate with me yesterday, you were using the conversation tab and not the chat function. Go up to the header and click on chat rooms. There you can go into the General Chat function and select a chatroom. On my screen, there's always a "Chat now" box on the bottom right where I can go to see who is online and then select a person to have a private chat with. If you don't have this, I was ask for help form the administrator.
