How to Log-In to an LFA Live Discussion

Enter a Nickname in the log-in box below and then click on Connect. It may take a few moments for the chat window to load.

When the window opens, click on the "Rooms" tab and select the Live Discussion Room which corresponds with that month's discussion. For example, "Kidney Issues and Lupus" is the topic for March 2010, so that's the room you'll want to enter.

About LFA's Live Discussions

To participate in a live discussion, you must use a Java-compliant Web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape 4.x or better. Set your browser to allow pop-up windows.

If you only see a gray block above, you need to download the free Java plug-in, which is available for free here at the Sun Microsystems website.

LFA's live discussions are non-moderated events. Users can chat directly with one another for a period of four days, following the posting of a lupus expert's questions and answers.
