Ipad/Pod doesn't support flash, but there is a way you can use the iPad although it's a bit covoluted.

You need to use a PC with remote desktop capabilities or VNC and the iPod/Pad as a remote terminal. There is an iPod/Pad Remote Desktop app ITap and also other VNC apps are available.

Once you have enabled Remote desktop on your PC you can use the iPod/Pad client to connect and use flashchat as a remote desktop session, I can confirm it works, it's a little more effort, but a lot easier than carting a laptop or PC, Monitor Keybd and mouse from room to room (or the dunny for H) ...

To use Remote Desktop/Itap you need either XP Pro, Vista or Win7 Pro or ultimate and the iTap app.

Otherwise if you have XP home, Vista Win7 Home, Home premium etc you'll need to install VNC and get a VNC client app for the iPod/Pad.

As a bonus once you have RDP or VNC working you can control your PC for any use including astro (monitoring PHD or using the Autostar suite for example).
Thanks for the reply but I actually asked for a non flash site that people use for the chartroom. I work in IT so I'm aware of and use VNC all the time but was just asking if anyone used the chat room on a iPad with a non flash site using java via vnc or html5 for example.
