Chat tonight!

I see the link now but when I click Join Chat, nothing happens. Wah.

[Midnite]

try clicking Reload???

[Josette]

Are there any other instructions you can provide?  I was free just after 10, but I had all the other things I wanted to read on the Internet and didn't see how I could be chatting instead of doing everything else.

About 11:30 I reached the Forum and saw the list of "chatters" but it said 0 were chatting.  I tried to join, saw my name included, and a little box at the bottom, where I guessed one was supposed to type.  Nothing else.  (Besides, it still said that 0 were chatting.)

I logged off and read the rest of the Forum.  After that I tried again and the same thing happened.  It was almost just for fun that I tried typing "Is anyone here" and the instant I hit the return key, there was the whole conversation popping up on the screen!!  Is there anything else one is supposed to do to see things before actually joining in?

I was using AOL 8.0 and couldn't get in at first, but then I remembered that MB mentioned that using the IE gets to the board faster and once I did that, it worked!!  So much for AOL!![smash]

Anyway, thanks to MB & Midnite for getting the chat going! :-)

Glad I made it to the chat, did have a little trouble though with things double posting, and when I hit enter, it took long to post.

Glad you enjoyed it, jen.  Sorry for ending it when I did even though some of you clearly weren't ready to call it quits, but Selby called from the TV.

Craig_Slocum, I saw your comment about a slow chat screen.  I honestly didn't have that problem, so that might have been due your connection.

I don't think so. I have high speed internet, and don't have a problem with anything else. Guess that was my first and last chat room experience.

I have high speed internet, and don't have a problem with anything else. Guess that was my first and last chat room experience.

I've had both good and bad chatroom connections at different times using the same access, and if you decide to give chats (dsboards' or any others) another chance you'll most likely find the same to be true for you, though less often because of your high speed cable.  And sometimes the forum's server is slower in different parts of the country/world at different times; for example, I might have a hard time connecting to areas on dsboards here on the West Coast whereas MB, who is on the East coast, finds it to be a breeze at that same time, and vice versa.

I probably should've suggested during the chat that you try logging out and coming back into the room again, which sometimes helps too, but I was juggling so many things at the time (thank you, HobbiesDS, for helping me out!) that I didn't realize you were having so many problems.  Sorry to hear your experience was so frustrating.
