Cannot seem to get instant message to work. When I tap orange box nothing happens. Okay okay I am a Luddite. Would appreciate some. Help.

I am not sure it does work for anyone very well ...
I have been telling some that message me ...
that it is extremely slow... not sure why in other sites they never had a issue with theirs and seemed to be a good way to chat ...

HOW DO I IM?
First, you must have YOUR 'Instant Messaging'
turned ON:
http://mingle2.com/user/enable_im
(Or >>My Account>>Settings>>Turn ON IM)

Then you would go to the profile of the person
with whom you wish to chat.

Under their picture there is an orange button
'Instant Message' which you would click on and
the request to Instant Message is sent.

If there is no orange button labeled 'Instant
Message' it could mean one of two things.

The person does NOT have 'Instant Messaging'
turned ON.
(In which case you could email them and request
they turn it ON.)

Or, the person is in 'Stealth Mode.'

NOTE: The mobile site has NO Instant Messenger.
~~~
Let me know when you are on (email) and I will
help you test it, if you like :-)

I had my IM Turned on but still its not opening for me

The IM is currently down, and you will be able to find updates here:
