Thanks for this excellent test, Martin. Against the monster H3, SF is performing very well so far.

Why it is not possible to write as a guest in the live chat ? At the beginning of nTCEC a guest was allowed to write.

I had to register to chatWING in order to chat (even that was messy: no idea how I got a username...)
Globally, I have had a lot of problems with that chat. I also have no idea about the meaning of the symbols next to the Login button, and with the Settings button.
For people that are not chat addicts, or Facebook madmen, a small user explanation would have been welcome...
