There are two things that are most likely stopping the chat system from working. They are quite tetchy so you may want to refer your IT support technician to this page:
1. The chat system uses Javascript. You need to have Javascript enabled and this is normal.
2. Many schools use net filters based on keywords such as chat. Please ask for http://www.imascientist.org.au to be whitelisted.
Please contact us on support@imascientist.org.au or +61 (0)410 442 629 if you’ve checked this and it still doesn’t work.
