Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 What is hyperlink, will this affect our privacy?

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 A hyper link, as I understand it and keep in mind I'm not the most tech savvy person, is one of those blue links in the box on the left side of the screen like Home Messages Post Files Photos ect. At the bottom on my box it says Chat and though I clicked on it a couple of times just to see what would happen, it never finished linking. My 'puter is kinda slow tonight tho, so I just wondered if any one had actually used it. I would imagine that it is just a live chat feature for us KO's to interact. as far as whether it would affect our privacy, I don't know. I expect the moderator of this board would know something like that. Just don't ask me who that is. C > > > ** > > > > > > I just noticed that we now have a hyperlink to Chat.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Just noticed that. Looks like maybe something we may want to check out at some point if enough members show interest--could schedule " times " to visit the room, open topic or following an agenda of sorts. Cool. > > I'd love to chat via google chat perhaps? That way I can use it > on my iphone etc. > Steph > > > Chat??? > > I just noticed that we now have a hyperlink to Chat.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 that would be cool, anything that doesn't involve actual talking right now is a good thing. I got a bad case of laryngitis. > > > > I'd love to chat via google chat perhaps?

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 C , and all Ok, I m a geek. We all know that. So... A hyperlink is a line of text with code embedded that will, if clicked, take you to a document, web page, or functionality. Never click on one in an email from someone you do not know! However in this case, it is simply a gateway to a functionality in Yahoo Groups. If you note, it is under Labs ( Beta). This means it is a function they are still working with and testing. For those worried about privacy, it will display only your group username, as in my case doug883, and what you type, then hit enter, will be displayed in the chat window for all who are using the function to see. If you go into messages, sometimes you will note certain users messages show a yellow instead of grey logo. That indicates that they are online at the time and logged into Yahoo functions. I would be an opportunity for members of this board to be on simultaneously and have a txt discussion. We would need to either check when we are here to see who is there, or someone could post a message , proposing a time ( remember Time ZOnes!) and topic for discussion. It is a nice feature.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I love this idea. One of the reasons I don't post more is that I find it frustrating to wait for replies. I'm an instant gratification type I guess. Does anyone else want to have a group chat with a topic? HC > > > > I'd love to chat via google chat perhaps?

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Doug, thanks for the clarification about hyperlinks. I'm only JUST getting to know the lingo and I don't always understand what I am being told. I thought any of the stuff written in colors that you click on to go to another page is a hyperlink. Good to know the difference. I always depended on my husband to take care of all of the computer stuff. I am slowly learning more and more. After the meltdown I had in the Apple store cause I couldn't figure out how to turn off my husbands iPhone when the screen froze, I thought I had better learn how to take care of all of my high tech gadgets I was left with so that would't happen again.
