Chat Open 1/18: Join Physics Forums Chat Now
- Thread starter Greg Bernhardt
- Start date
In summary, the chat on the Physics Forums website is only open on Sundays for a few hours, typically from 10am to 4pm central time. This limited time allows for it to remain a fun and engaging activity for users. However, there have been instances where the chat stays open a bit longer. For those in different time zones, the chat may be available during dinner time or even after midnight.

Chat is normally up on a Sunday for a few hours. If chat was open 24/7 it would direct people away from the main focus of the site which is the forum based community. The advantage of having it as a limited treat is that it doesn't get boring quickly.

Sundays and a few hours?
When will these "few hours" be?
(since some of us from almost 12+ hours different time zones!)
Thank you!

Correct me if I am wrong, but it translates to something like 5 p.m. - 11 p.m. GMT (plus minus one hour).
