I took the chat box off the site, please try it again to see if it makes a difference. I was just trying it to see how it was liked.......There shouldn't have been any hacks or cookies saved from the chatbox so it shouldn't have caused any extra emails etc. I had started getting lots of junk when I signed up on Mulitply, the site MSN touted as a place to move when they decided to kill our groups. Most of it stopped when I left that site.
There are still many many people still upset with them for getting rid of our groups. I'm not sure i'll ever get all of the boards copied and saved....still working on that too.
