Hi folks,

Due to a change in our chat software, we are no longer able to share chatrooms with our sister site, the Forums at Psych Central. I apologize for this inconvenience. (You're still welcomed to chat over there, you just need to register on that forum separately.)

We've installed new chatbar software at the bottom of your screen that has a few chatrooms on it. It also allows you to chat instantly with other members who are on your Friends list.

You can set your status to be "Invisible" or "Busy" if you prefer not to use this feature.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
DocJohn

Oh, this is nifty... Thanks, Doc!

I just tried it... it brings up screens of the IDs but won't let me type anything. ???? any thoughts,.

[DocJohn]

You have to click on an ID to start a chat with that specific person.

I clicked on an ID---actually back when there were 3 available, and now again on yours--- in your separate box, which comes up, the cursor shows and blinks but I cannot type with it.

It is similar to when your browser gets stuck and you have to leave a page and come back after a reboot. I've had my cursor at rare times stop typing, in the past in other situations.

I can type fine as you can see in this reply box.

I just tried to chat and I got her icon and the message that she was online but couldn't type anything.

I did not see the lower type box...before.

This may not have scrolled up or it was in my blur zone...as I wear trifocals. After breakfast and now I can see the zone with the blue icon. But I could not see it before.

Thanks, Doc. Sorry to be a pain.
