I have used the old style and the new one from day one it hit the screen. I have never had any problems with either one. I am online daily for long periods of time and I check in to the chat everytime I am online..... any more there just doesn’t seem to be anyone there....... there will be 3-8 people signed into Divebuddy.com and nobody chatting. I have wondered if the "chat time" has confused folks.... or if it is just because it is summer and everyone is busy?
