*** New RootsChatterBox Opened! ***
« on: Thursday 29 July 04 14:43 BST (UK) »
Hello fellow RootsChatters,

Just to let you know that the new RootsChatterBox is up and running.

Once you have logged in to RootsChat, just click on the "chat" button on the menu.

We've created a few "Rooms" in there to start us off - including one for "Instant Lookups".

How we use the new RootsChatterBox is up to you.
You may find it better if we decide to log into it "on the hour", that way you are more likely to bump into another fellow RootsChatter.

For the "Instant Lookup" room, it may be a good idea to have some kind of timetable or announcement as to what day or time the lookups are going to be done for particular resouces - so keep an eye on the Calendar for "RootsChatterBox Lookup Events". :) :)

Hope you like it.  ;)

Trystan

Fitty,

When you enter the RootsChatterBox, leave by using the "back" button. If you forget to do it, then just leave it a whole minute, then it will be ok again.

I'll try again at 11am

I got back in and got booted out again.   I might log off and log back in here and see if that helps.
