Hi

Can I just echo what mig, lil and old rowley have said about the chatroom.
Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming particularly when the room is full, but we all make everybody feel welcome.

Im amazed sometimes at how quick a response you can get to a query, some brilliant people in the room, who have a wealth of knowledge and are only to happy to help

Please do find time to try the room again

Jo :D

Be warned the room can be very addictive ;D

I agree with Ruskie and Silvery. I felt that way and jumped out and just went back yesterday, out of curiousity, I guess. It was kin dof fun, but a little overwhelming trying to follow through, but I think with practice it will get easier.

Thanks for all the advice and tips.

Thanks to all for the reassurance. I did actually pop in earllier (accidentally) - it might be less daunting if you were able to go in wearing an "invisibility cloak", so you can observe before participating. I'll have another try soon ...

I didn't realise the chatrooms existed until I read about it on a post on here. I thought I'd give it a try, everyone was saying hello as soon as I went in, they were all very friendly. I must admit I found it very fast moving and I was getting a bit confused about who was answering who. I liked it though, will give it another go some time.

Maybe the easeyest way would be to change your statues to away or busy as you came in the chatroom, but if we don't try and make folks welcome right away they feel like new kid at school and every one is looking at them.
All are welcome and would not be much of a chat room if we didn't have people to chat with  ;D
and it beats trying to figure out how this thing works  ;D




I think this is called  'A woman's brain'  ;D
