We've added chat to Debra Queensland so that our members and interstate associated charities can all chat and have conferences live. It's one more step towards binding the various states into a national charity. Please read the following instructions before or to begin chatting now Click HerePreliminary procedure - JAVA RUNTIME
SPECIAL NOTE: It may take a little while for the chat program to load, and there could be some issues if you're not using the latest browsers and JAVA clients. Once chat starts, a popup dialog box will appear asking you to choose whether to accept a CERTIFICATE, say YES or the chat program will not work. JAVA chat is dependent on SUN Java and the chat script should redirect you to installing the required JAVA runtime libraries. This may take a while on a modem connection, but you'll only need go through this process once. It will also be useful for other websites to have this installed.Step 1
