hi there, the difference between chat and forum is, the pregnancy forum is where people will bring some questions, post them and waiting to the users post some answeres and share opinions as well,and it take a while and is not sure that when you post, you will get an answer fast. the chat rooms are where people get to share opinions and talk in real time, so you are able to chat with people that are online in the chatroom. I wish you good lucky and i hope my answer will help you a bit about the difference between them.

A chat is a real time online conversation between many computer users. All participants must be in front of their computer at the same time. The chat takes place in a "chat room", a virtual online room also called a channel. Users type their messages, and their messages appear on the monitor as text entries that scroll many screens deep. Anywhere from 2 to 200 people can be in a chat room. They can freely send, receive and reply to messages from many chat users simultaneously. It is like instant messaging, but with more than two people, fast typing, fast scrolling screens, and most of the people are strangers to each other. Chat used to be very popular in the late 1990's, but has fallen out of vogue lately. Fewer and fewer people use chat; instead, instant messaging and discussion forums are far more popular in 2007.
discussion forums are really a slow-motion form of chat. Forums are designed to build online communities of people with similar interests. Also known as a "discussion group", "board" or "newsgroup", a forum is an asynchronous service where you can trade non-instant messages with other members. The other members reply on their own schedule, and do not need to be present while you are sending. Every forum is also dedicated to some specific community or subject, such as travel, gardening, motorcycles, vintage cars, cooking, social issues, music artists, and more. Forums are very popular, and are renowned for being quite addictive because they put you in touch with many similar-minded people.

A forum is an online community where you can leave a question, answer other questions and discuss different topics like email, but everyone can see. Chat is instant similar to msn. You usually log in and select who wish to chat with, they need to be online at the same time. Sometimes you can chat with more than one person at the same time.
