Chatting

Hi Jay, Sure I'd come on line for a scheduled chat but need a bit of techno advice here. My current compufter is running Windows 95.... having never been in a chat room (sounds cosy ) not sure how it all works. I've been and had a look see but only seem to be able to go get and not the expresso kind! Can you guide me through how to access the chat experience ? Will I need a couple of these ? Caio, Helen

Hi Helen You can start by clicking on the word "Chat" on the list on the left hand side of the screen when you have opened the Boggers site. If you are signed on a a MSN member to the site everything will happen automatically and the next thing you will see is your name on the right hand side indicating that there is 1 person chatting and that you are probably all alone . Having successfully passed the log on test we will need to pick a time that works for Angie in cold, miserable, dreary, and far away London. Angie, what time would be good on a Sunday night in Oz whateer time that might be in Blair country? Cheers, tgintl/jay

Okay, so the guys on the Eastern seaboard who are on Daylight saving are 11 hours ahead of us e.g. 9am our time is 8pm your time so I would like to propose around that time if it is okay with everyone. When we change to daylight saving we will all need to adjust our login time but it is probably easier for us to fit in with all of you rather than the other way around. There might be some Sundays when we wont make it if we have something planned for the day, but they would be rare and I will leave a message on the forum if not coming on. Angie

Hi Angie I will be online at 8:00pm Victoria time on Sundays, except when I am not (away cycling 8, 15, 22/2). tgintl/jay

Hello again Jay,

By the look of the Chat site MSN have done some redecorating
since I last visited!
I've done as you said and keep getting the same message "
Network problems are preventing you from connecting to the Chat service. Please
try again later"
Think my system is too prehistoric to give me access or there
is something fatal with my innards

Looks like I'm out in the cold,

Caio
Helen

Just a reminder about chatting tomorrow night around 8.00pm EST. Angie

Every time I try chatroom it says that my msn nickname is invalid. and asks me to change it... when I try it tells me that it is already in use try something else. Help what am I doing wrong Lorraine

Lorraine, It is probably punishment for not selecting a new nick name with sunglasses on. You will not be able to retain your present BOG name because MSN will say it is in use, it is being used by you, but that doesn't matter. The way big brother has set up the system requires you to change and put sunglasses on to be able to do anything. Sorry, Brian.

Brian Thankyou for this info... I was starting to get very frustrated... I have given up using Phil's id and so have my own now. Lorraine

Lorry, And a very good choice of id it is too! See you in the chat room. Angie
