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

We used to chat a lot in the evenings. It was a lot of fun. People could get their questions answered, as well as off topic chatting about real life issues and topics.

Now the chat button is on a drop down menu when you use the button above called PATIENTS . If it said chat somewhere, would you check it out?

Some people like live chatting, but it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Can you get to from the app?

@@IrishGermanRN

Yep...

@@IrishGermanRN

Yeeeeah, for once this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. :P I've never been able to find chat room access on the app, and believe me I've looked. To access it from your phone you need to open the site in an actual browser.

@@IrishGermanRN

I apologise for my misleading post...

I was distracted by a strange noise in my ear and I completely forget myself...

Anyway, the delightful CHMD has set both me and you straight in her own, inimitable way..

Thank you for sharing the information so swiftly...

You seem to be much more pleasant in the middle of your night than you are during your days...

I can but assume that this is due to you now actually being asleep...

Or was that you who I just heard yawn?

I've been all over this app and don't see any button, tab or icon for chat. Where is it?

@@KindaFamiliar

What the absolute f*ck are you talking about? I'm always pleasant! It's my thing! I'm Canadian, dammit!

Again, you cannot access the chat room from the actual BP app. You need to open the mobile version of the website in your phone's browser (Chrome, Safari, whatever), and then you want to click the menu button (4 white squares) in the upper right hand corner. Chat will be the last option.

You're from Canadia, eh?

Land of moose, Mounties and other stuff...

And where Canadian bacon is just bacon...

I hope to visit there one day...

Can I sleep on your couch?

@@Christinamo7

Ok, maybe it's not you...

It's more likely access and stuff...

Don't take it personally...

I'm sure there are plenty who are happy to chat with you...

I am really happy about this!! We need to make a post and put it somewhere obvious besides the lounge.

Remember everyone is in different time zones. I am in the Pacific time zone and that makes it hard to catch people on the east coast.

I will be checking in during the evenings. I've been sleeved for 7 years now, so I can answer a lot of questions.

Yep, good ol' Canuckistan!

Land of free health care, Robin Sparkles, and other nifties...

Where Canadian bacon is called back bacon...

You SHOULD visit. Southern Ontario is positively lovely...

When I get back, settled, and aquire a sofa, you'll find a home there anytime you're so inclined.

You had me at Robin Sparkles!!!

"Put on your jelly bracelets

And your cool graffiti coat.

At the mall, having fun

Is what it's all about..."

Right then...

Lock it in...

Once you're ready, I'm coming!!

Well I'm also Canadian (living in Houston). And I'd have to say Nova Scotia is where it's at...
