Chat Last Night-longish

Don

>I'm new to this chat stuff because I can rarely spare the time. Made time last night to see what it is all about. Thought learning more about peoples "real" lives might be interesting. Is that how things normally work? I could not figure out which room I was in, if there really is more than one room, or which end was up where. Very confusing. Seemed most people, probably the "regulars", knew what they were doing but several messages about "where are you" or "WHAT other room" indicated not everyone was on the same page. I put a few (very few) messages in and got no response at all. Couldn't tell if any one saw them. I know how woodwoody felt when he asked "is anybody out there, can you see me?", kind of invisible. Who knows, I might have even had something interesting to contribute, even thought I'm a rookie. Somebody said the links got switched or something. I just started from the home page and clicked on the chatroom bar to get in. Did I do something wrong? Hope things go better next time (if there is a next time). Any insights will be appreciated.

>Don, Last night with the two rooms wasn't normal. I don't know what happened to the links but the room with the most folks was the old room. It had problems like what you, woodwoody and oneway.. had. I don't know how the folks in the new one got there but they probably have a bookmark set. Hopefully it will get fixed before next week.

>Got there ("new room") through the link at the top of the Home Page followed by the link on the chatroom page. I couldn't find, let alone get to, the "old room" until someone posted a message link in the New Room.

Was weird indeed. Thought that the old server was removed. . .

>I don't know what room I was in but I had fun, it was a fun diversion from the normal turning topics.

The room I was in had regulars such as Dominic, Mark K, Molly, -e-, TD, etc.. seemed like the right room to me.

>I saw all those names also but couldn't tell if I was in the right place. Tried to participate to no avail. Maybe I'll try again sometime if I can find the time.

Glad to hear it wasn't just me. I know I'm easily confused but...

Thanks, Don

>I have notified the Boss about our problems last night with the chat; hopefully it will be fixed before next week. I agree, such confusion really takes away from the work time.

>actually, mark, i think i was in six or seven wc-rooms at the same time ... or was that just the 'STARS'..... (giggling to myself or is this just early signs of senility?)

from my minimal observations, the problems that don and others are addressing were the same problems that generated the drive for the new 'chat' server in the first place ...

it was an 'interesting' night ...

>for the Old MPD, eh?

No sweat. There are times I e-mail in brackets as well.

[What did he say?]

[I think he was trying to let the world know about US]

[Oh, no. Time to change the medication again . . ]
