How come PF Chat isn't on all the time? I come into the website and it says PF Chat now open and then I come in later and it is not there. Is there a special time for it to be open?

Physics Forums is a forum based environment and we have good reasons for keeping it that way. The chat is to be thought of as a weekly special event. Cristo has the times. However many times it runs 30-60min later.

Yes, you can save the chat.
And also the chat room is for chatting. it's not the place to solve homework.

Movie references aside, there is a really good reason why we don't give homework help in chat. Homework help should be preserved so that other students can benefit and learn from the Q&A. Chat is kind of free-wheeling and free-form. Greg is nice enough to provide it as a socializing resource, and we should be glad to have it ... just for fun. Thanks, Greg!
