Thanks! So, it would probably be best then if an established mesh had just one published, so visitors would know where to look. We have used ngircd (IIRC). Here in Winona, MN we have been experimenting but don't have anything permanent. We are in the Mississippi River Valley, so 600 foot "hills" all around. We just got a couple 900Mhz nodes and are planning to put one about 150 feet up on a tower. We are hoping for better range from that than the 2.4Ghz stuff. We were really happy when we upgraded everything to 3.1.0, and then cabled a 900Mhz node to a 2.4GHz node and the two networks "just connected" without any additional setup! 73, Erik

Additional thoughts: I like it that it runs on a browser, rather than having to install additional software. Is there any way (or any other application) to create a single chat room for the whole network? So that the users don't have to go searching for the server. Thanks, Erik

Yes, a single node with the HamChat package installed and published is the best thing to do.  

We have it installed in a node on a hilltop which serves as sort of a "backbone" link between areas.  It then is directly available to all other stations that can see that node as well as any that might surf to it through any other connected node.  

One of the good things about it is that no special client is required, just your browser.

As for my previous question about the CSS file.  All of a sudden about a week later it began using the changes that had been made to the file and the Timestamp font and color just changed.

Great simple package. I did not like, however, that after setting up the service you have to right click the link to open a new chat window so as to stay in the node interface. A limitation of setting up service links. If you can move around a Linux command line, this is solvable. Instead of setting up a service, I opened and SSH session and created a simple web page with some JavaScript buttons that opens the chat room in a popup window. This allows users to simply click a button which opens popup without having to play games with right clicks. After creating the page I set the page up as an advertised service with easy navigation back to the node interface.
