Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hi – we have certain times (Monday and Thursday nights at 6 PST) that are automatically set up. If you happen to run into someone at another time, you’ve had good luck!!

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I got reminders, the day of chat, but the reminders stopped a couple weeks ago. I don't know if this was intentional, maybe the moderator could comment? If it was intentional, the chat times could be in the welcome message for new people.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Would you believe I have only just noticed that this group has chat room facilities. I had a look in it and I see one or two of you have popped in, but as nobody was there obviously left again. There is no reason why members of the group shouldn't take advantage of it but as it is not a manned facility it might be necessary for you to inform other members of the group of the fact that you are there, or as they might not get the message straight away, perhaps give them some notice of when you will be there. Maybe one or more of you who would like to chat would volunteer to be there at certain times of day if others want to turn up then. You can sort it out between yourselves because it is there for all the members. As it can not be moderated you will be expected to moderate yourselves and not discuss anything which would not be allowed on the message board and if something crops up to agree to email privately.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hello Sheila, Yes, I can see a link to Chat (and Applications) under “Groups Labs (Beta)†on the Menu.

However, will ordinary members please confirm that you actually can see the 'Chat' link in the Menu please? This is because Lilian and I are joint owners of the forum, and owners have many more facilities in the group than members. Luv - Sheila avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hello! Yup - the chat room is certainly there! Looking a little bit empty, though...

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Thanks Hazel. I am never quite sure exactly what members can see because I have so many more tags than you do, being the owner. Apparently, this Chat Room facility is fairly new to and only opened last January. Luv - Sheila Hello Sheila, Yes, I can see a link to Chat (and Applications) under “Groups Labs (Beta)†on the Menu.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 HI SHEILA I have been in the NEW CHAT ROOM, but although it has recorded my visit. I tried to send a message but although I typed it, it has not recorded my message on going back. There is also no way to send a message, and at the top all it has is thyroid treatment. It does not appear to be fully set up for use yet, unless you have got to do something.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 When you are in the Chat Room and you have typed out a message, you click 'Enter' and the message will appear. However, if you want to Chat live, it is best to get some of the others to join you at the same time so you actually have somebody to chat to. it is fully set up for use - you need to read about the Chat group and how to use it in Help.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 The members can see it because I see one or two have been there. I think this is quite new. I think they might have stopped it because some people were abusing it.Lilian On 7 March 2011 10:25, Sheila <sheila@...> wrote: Well, you are not the only one Lilian, I too have never noticed that there is a Chat Room facility on the forum and I wonder if this is fairly new.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 It's fairly new to , as they only created it apparently in January 2011. That's why we have probably never noticed it before. I was just mystified why the other forums all had 'Chat' and the TPAWorkingParty didn't. I had not enabled it when I opened this forum in the first place.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 used to have chatrooms with groups - I was a co-owner of one about alternative medicine attached to the group and we used to meet there twice a week regularly - or go into the chat room from the regular alternative medicine room turned nasty which often happened! Once upon a time it was a great room full of helpful people back in 1996 when I first arrived online. It seems a while ago that they stopped it - then we used to meet in a conference call type arrangement. So if members here want to chat perhaps a few suggestions as to good times to meet might work?
