Hello, I recently joined this site and can see that I have 2 messages in chat, but can't access them? Is there a standard period of time before new members can use this feature or do I need to contact someone to access them? Thank you

I think that the (2) against chat relates number of people currently in chat room. It is also showing for me as (2) and I don't use chat room.

A new member also has to make at least 2 (qualifying) posts before Chat is open to them.
Same rules as the Personal Messaging system.
It's to deter spammers ;D
Certain boards don't qualify - such as Totally Off Topic.

Thanks everyone - I misunderstood and thought I had 2 messages in chat waiting for me to open :)

It is generally better if you use the boards and not the chat for your queries as it reaches a wider audience :). We are always ready to help

"Chat"? Never even noticed it!

The only time I went on I was subject to an interrogation so came out quickly ;D

The chat bunch are lovely and talk about anything from weather .current affairs to research .
Its good if you are having a sleepless night or need an immediate answer because somewhere in world is usually in
-
That is also true on the Photo Gallery, Tea and Chatter room where you can see who is there and just read what is going on and stay quiet if you want to. ;D

Thanks for this info!
May I ask, what posts qualify in order for one to access the chat?
Thanks so much, Hannah.

Hi Hannah,
Welcome to RootsChat.
New members need to make two posts on boards where they count in order to access the chatroom. Your question was the first.

I've sometimes seen only one person in chat. How does that work? ;D

Sometimes you can go to chat room and wait for other people to join some people myself included pop in then go to another page get distracted and forget they are still there .tho I'm more likely to accidentally sign myself out if I attempt to look at anything while chat is open
Also am happy to talk to myself ...will leave a message to show I've been in

Rosie I don't think I've ever been in ,#photo gallery tea and chatter too
Didn't realize it was interactive .I LL check it out
# I can't find it ! Does it still exist
-
Thanks So much Little Nell! :)

Perhaps if there's only one person in there, then they'll talk to themselves? My grandmother, whenever accused of talking to herself, used to firmly say she was always brought up to address the most intelligent person present......
