first time here.

want to chat with others who have similar musical tastes.

how the #*%!*# do i do so?

its probably idiotically painfully obvious but i can't find how in the lime help and its not so obvious that i see it in the interface anywhere. am i blind or stupid?

thanks for your help. i'' remememember you in my will.

In order to chat you need to enable it: LW Preferences>Chat & tick option & apply. More on chat skills here: How to use Bitzi Web Lookup ... & How to use Magnet Links & Direct Connect

Thanks for the chat tips. I didn't know much about it either until I had read your reply.

It should be added that if you try and chat with someone, the chances are slim that you will get a dialogue box to appear, and far slimmer that you will get a reply. Users often leave their limewire on and seldom check the computer. Limewire has not given priority to making a useful chat feature, and if you have a successful chat with any one congratulate yourself. I have managed it 3 times in 8 months!

Have you ever had anyone try to chat with you first? I personally would find that impossible seeing that I can't even get someone to respond!

I've successfully inititated & received chats with other people. But you're right, they often don't see it until it's too late.
