The 'live' Chat Room, Surprised it's not used more often Options

[janika]

The chat room is really easy to use and it would be an instant way for people to get help and support. I have checked in many times, even when I know that it's daylight hours or evening in the US, but I am always the only one there. I have chatted with 'Madi' (who is in Australia), who also found 'chat' easy. It's a shame that this wonderful facility is not used more often. Maybe I just keep missing the busy times, being in a different time zone (UK) . If you haven't tried it , I suggest that you do so, if you see that 'friends' happen to be signed into the forum. Tonight (today for all in US) I think it could have helped many people who are worried about pets who are very sick. Sometimes when you are distraught it's hard to compose a full 'post' so instant chat could be very beneficial. Please keep posting though, I don't for one second think that 'chat' should replace the forum postings, but used alongside the forums for instant help, advice and companionship.

I have heard the bell on occasions, but not every time. Also the door slamming when someone leaves. I have to remember to have my speaker volume turned on and up of course. Margi have you made sure all the options for sound boxes are ticked in'options' sounds. I'm sure you will have but just a thought. I'm heading there now. Hope to see you. x
