| Description | This is a quick holding for the possibility of making the cross-site IM much more sophisticated, more like what Facebook has. A couple of users have enquired about it, but it is also very complex time-consuming work, so would have a relatively high price tag attached. |

It still uses popups, but that's fine -- we've provided popup-blocker instructions, which we auto-link-to if the IM popup is blocked. Real popups are more suitable than overlays for this rare case - they work more like native apps (as the popups now persist even if the main site is closed, and you can have many open at once and still use the site).
