Hi Guys

I think once more people realise it's there more will use it. Some people may be put off because when you you it for the first time it asks you to download a bit of software. Unfortunately, it doesn't work without it.

Regards

Discovered the Chat room last night, by accident, and spent half hour chatting with Mr Robinson.
Great feature and lets hope more people make use of it.
Maybe there should be an hour when peolple know it will be VERY busy......ie 2000 to 2100 etc. Could solve problems instantly  :

[Mike_Boxall]

the busiest time seems to be early evening so I suspect it'll find it's own peak times over the next few weeks

[paul@ctcs]

Hi steve, i got a prompt to download some software, once down loaded it worked ok.Sorry cant be more help!
 Your problem could be a common one and would explain the lack of use.

Me to white screen with the word float des

[Ian Gourlay]

Again hit icon nothing white space and float.  I thought I was dumb

Des & Ian,

The software download prompt takes several seconds to appear - with a dial-up connection could take much longer.

[paulchambers]

What is a Chat Room? Does one actually talk?

[Dynafoam]

Niel,

A chat room is a virtual space where messages can be passed in real time - like the instant messages available in most forums, but everyone logged into the room can read all messages and responses.
