The chat isn't listed in the dark skin... Nothing much else to say...

I haven't used the chat in a long time so I might be wrong, but didn't Mith say once that Chat only worked in CAA Lite? Or has that been fixed since the last time I was there?
You are still correct on this issue. It's very difficult to keep multiple skins working simultaneously with a AJAX system in our current version of vBulletin. Plus, making people use the lite skin to chat has significantly speeded up the CAA experience for everyone. And thats something most everyone enjoys.
