Re: Chat Room.......Does anybody use it?

[Guest guest]

I didn't know we had a chat room and I'm not sure I know what Messanger is. I would probably not be inclined anyway as I'm pretty tied up with a lot in life going on right now and our group here is enough for me, if that helps.

Subject: Chat Room.......Does anybody use it?

Hi,

I was just wondering if people here in this group use the chatroom. If

so, I would like to have an idea of when people get together for

discussion? If people are not, I was wondering if some of you were

using messenger instead to communicate.

I would love to schedule regular CHATS.

What about Sunday Nights? Maybe check in around 8 pm Central Time,

that is 7 to us on the westcoast, 9 for those east coast birds, what

do you say?

I have an idea. Go to the local internet cafe or library and get on

to Yahoo somehow, get a password, SweetJanie or something and see what

this looks like from the 'other side'.

Really. I mean it. Cause thee is stuff here to see and do that

doesn't come across in a digest-email format.

What browser do you use? You need to find out and get Internet

Explorer or something cause Mac users can use those, too.

Try the library or office internet thingy and get back to me, so we

can see how you like the full meal deal.

Thanks Marsha, I will have my Mr. Techie hubby take a look at this email. As for Mac, we had way too many problems with Windows, we were tearing our hair out, since we got Macs and we have several of them now, the time we spend not with technical support, virus's, etc. has been amazing. Too, I find the Macs are quieter. It was an investment to switch at first but well worth it...

Hi,

The reason I brought up the chatroom was in other groups, people will

go there to " chat " . I have found it to be a good tool to use on the

site. All you have to do is click on " Chat " on the left side of the

site and it automatically logs you in. As time goes on, it seems

many people get to know one another and some will end up using Yahoo

Messenger " to chat as it has more capabilities and such. Going

to " Chat " is a really great way to get to know people and have

questions answered instantly.

Marsha's idea about setting up a specific time is great. It is also

something that could be added to the " Calendar " on the site.

By the way....thanks for coming up with this site :-) It will be of

great benefit to many people seeking help and comfort.

Jane, what I find about your emails, is that there is no word wrap!

They run clear off the page all the way over to next door and I have

to move the bar along the bottom of the page to try to read these long

strings..........you can ask others, there is another lady here who

has the same issue.

I think it is something related to your system and I do hope you can

try to fix it or see what it is like at another computer at some

point. It is only a minor inconvenience.

Also, when you hit REPLY, scroll down the text from previous messages

and hit delete, that way your message comes through without zillions

of other date dangling below. Cleans it up so to speak.

Hope this helps. I am not a big tech person really.

If she cuts out all the long links at the bottom of the page it won't

wrap. I looked into this a few days ago and figured out what was going

on. Wasn't sure if it would be okay to bring it up. So, all she (and

most others) has to do is edit out the links that are at the bottom of

the page when she responds, this will cause her emails to wrap normally

like most others do.

It's actually not a problem with her system, but with the way the

Yahoo message boards handle things. The message boards should either

force the long URL links to wrap, or it should wrap other text even if

it doesn't wrap the long URLs (which is the way my Thunderbird email

client does it).
