Would you use the chat room if you knew where it was?

With the new app, the chat room is fairly obvious - at least for Android. I dont think you can minimize it though. I never really did the chat room on BP.

Well that was obnoxious. When I clicked on chatroom on the new app, it wanted me to sign in again. When I went to sign in, it wanted me to reset my password. Well, obviously I AM signed in since I am posting this...

I would. I have been on this board since last month and went into the chat room a few times and was alone each time. I found it odd that the link to the chat room was so well hidden! I am the kind of person who likes instant gratification so if I have a question, I want an answer -- NOW! :-)

It would be nice if you would message Alex and tell him that you think the link to the chat room is well hidden . I thought he was going to be getting a new server and things were going to able to be moved around, like an obvious chat button.

I would love to chat sometime! I guess if I ever can't sleep I might catch @@KindaFamiliar in there, but I'd chat with any of y'all.

[Christinamo7 4,041]

well.. foot. I get a bad gateway error when I try to go in there. LET ME IN lol.

[Christinamo7 4,041]

if I have multiple tabs open - and one is the chat - will it let me know if anyone else comes in the room, or do I have to babysit it?

If you're on the laptop, there's a doorbell sound when someone enters and a door closing sound when someone leaves...

[Christinamo7 4,041]

Thanks! I was on the lap top. I will try again tomorrow. I feel better knowing I won't miss any visitors. You are always so helpful and I do appreciate it.

I was on my laptop the other day and had opened the chat room. There was no one there so I left a message that I would be back in an hour which I was. Again no one was there but I left that window opened and went off to do some other things. I had no idea at the time that the chat room had a doorbell as I didn't really take the time to look around. I thought it was odd that I heard a doorbell and about 10 minutes later when I realized what it was someone had entered the room and left. Now when I hear that doorbell again I hope to get back to the chat room quicker.

Perhaps when others enter and they are the only ones there, they too could leave a message as to when and if they might be back so chats can take place.

We need that chat button moved!

We wouldn't be having these problems if people who liked to chat knew there is a chat room and how to find it!

[KindaFamiliar 3,867]

It seems the 'Chat' button has now been moved...

Just in case anyone is interested...

It's on the right hand side (laptop) next to the 'New Content' tab...

Look at me being all helpful and sh*t...

[CHM 1,009]

Well would you look at that...indeed it has!

[ssflbelle 829]

Ask and we shall receive. Alex thanks so much for checking out this post and moving the chat button. I know I will be there more often now.

Can you access the chat room from iPhone/iPad?
