Hi all,

I have disabled real-time chat for guests. There are a few reasons.
  1. At times we have up to 40 guests on the site and it breaks the chat widget.
  2. Guests displayed in the widget are not meaningful (you can't tell who they are, or who you are chatting with.
  3. Server load. The real-time chat feature is one of the highest bandwidth parts of the site, and supporting guest chatting is expensive :grimacing:
Let me know if you have any concerns. I think it makes the chat widget more meaningful!

Thanks!

M
