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 got a new MONSTER-kitty!! Life goes on, but sleep doesn't!

A tip on using the chat room. If you come in and someone's there but doesn't say anything, they probably have chat minimized. So type a few lines so they can hear you posting. I know that my own doorbell never works when someone comes in, but if they type a couple of things, then I hear the "typing chime." (A lot of people's doorbells don't work, the sound you're supposed to hear when someone enters the room--but their "lines of typing" sounds do work.)

Come to chat!
