I don't see a group of my interest. Can I start my own? Yes you can. I get an error message when I click on Chat. The chat module is a third party software called Parachat over which we have no control. The minimum requirement to use the chat feature is Sun Java version 1.4.x and above. If you don't have Java installed on your computer or if you need to upgrade it, please click here. Java is a free piece of software. If problem persists, please contact us with the error code or a screenshot of the error message, we will try our best to help you. However, please note that Parachat is not an inhouse software and therefore we do not support it. It will be a case of “trying our best to help you” scenario. The image I want to upload is bigger than 2MB. What can I do? Please upload the image as normal. The website will automatically resize it to meet the 2MB requirement.
