    Will the chat room ever transition from Flash? My main reason for asking is because I recently purchased an iPad and it doesn't support Flash. A lot of devices are dropping support for Flash in favor of HTML 5.

    Yes. Nobody (and I think I can say that with confidence) likes the current chat software. It's unreliable, frequently breaks, doesn't support many modern devices, and in general was a piece of crap even in its day (which was 10 years ago).

    It is due to be retired and replaced when we move to the new platform which, hopefully, will still happen this year.

    Ah!
    This would explain why, ever since I joined EC, I've never been able to access the chat room.

    Biker boy, access to the chatroom is limited to full members, so once you hit 50 posts (one post away) you can apply for full membership (it's free, just takes us about 4 weeks to process applications) and at that point, if approved, you'll be able to use the chatroom from a desktop or Flash-compatible portable device.
