Mods,

Any chance we can disable the IM chat window via our user CP?

I can't access this website from work as it has an active chat window and is classified as "chat" by our secure firewall. Maybe others are in the same vote...?

i may well be in the same boat, the site is blocked but not sure of the reason. makes sense though as no other forum i visit is blocked.

Am I going blind or is the chat window gone? I thought it may be disabled but I can't find any options for on/off?

Cheers.

disabling the IM chat feature didn't help me with access from work.

This will not resolve your issue.

This website would have been placed in a "Restricted Site list", this is usually organised by Categories.. ie) Chat (forums), Games, Adult etc.

You will need to contact your internet security department and ask them to remove this site, although you will probably find your AUP states you're not allowed to use messageboards and the like for personal reasons.

He wasn't when I posted. His validated status was deactivated when he didn't keep his email address up to date.
