There's an internet chat room where people in this community hang out, using the IRC system. This topic explains where it is.

IRC isn't on the web directly. However the VERY FIRST POST has a link you could try.

Just don't expect support there, people have been kicked out of the chat for requesting support when they've been asked not to ask for it; it's for being sociable, not for support generally.

For some reason I can't connect any more. Seems to happen whenever my net drops and I try to reconnect. Also this topic was far to difficult to find (refreshed page until it came up in the random news, which was a lot of refreshes since it is... random!).

Depends on what you want to ask really, but in short

1) Find the appropriate board
 ( For example Install and Upgrade Help, SMF 1.x Support or SMF 2.x Support )
2) Preferably start a new topic, to avoid confusion and to make it easier for us to follow up on support requests.
3) Try to follow the guidelines laid out in READ FIRST: How to help us help you

Because irc is chat not a forum
Please do not PM, IM or Email me with support questions.  You will get better and faster responses in the support forums.  Thank you.

Because it would generally discourage posting here and people would expect to use it for support rather than socialising.

Yeah well doesn't this topic discourage people from posting here?
Also, you have moderators to look at that.

because we don't do live support, and people would expect it if there was a chat feature in SMF itself. that's why.

It requires ridiculous resources when ran through the browser. It is also not a support option.

I don't, but I finally got bored and clicked on the link to here in the Community header. How do I get in on this?

I did without success.  Another forum has this feature, went thru that tutorial, and now I'm IRC capable. The challenge now is finding anybody on that channel at the other end. ;)
