Guest guest Posted May 12, 1999 Report Share Posted May 12, 1999 There is one already setup, just waiting for someone to set a time, or even just for casual use. The link is off my rosacea pages (as are most things important :-) to http://www.escribe.com/health/rosacea-support/chat I hope someone can find it useful - why not suggest a time and date and specific topic for a chat session ? davidp.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 1999 Report Share Posted May 12, 1999 What time frame would most people prefer? I know some poeple use work email and some home email so let's pick a time both groups could have access. Or choose a time. I think maybe 6 or 7 pm some day might be good for people. I don't know. Need a bit o' input from some of the other members. - Thanks for all your hard work on all the roseacea related things you have done for us. ---- you wrote: > There is one already setup, just waiting for someone to set a time, or even > just for casual use.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 1999 Report Share Posted May 12, 1999 Unfortunately some of us don't live in the USA, so there could be a big time difference! > >What time frame would most people prefer?

Guest guest Posted May 12, 1999 Report Share Posted May 12, 1999 With the time differences being a problem, maybe we could have the chat on at a time and date suitable for most. For example, if we have it on a Saturday at 3pm San Francisco time, it would be a Saturday at 11pm in England, and it would be a Sunday 9am in Australia. Well, you get my jist. The weekend may be better because people have more time freed up. I know this leaves out the people who have web access at work only. I hope we can work something out. If you e-mail me your availability and approximate location within the next few days, I'd try to set up a time where most people could reasonably make the chat. I hate to have the chat room go to waste.

Can anyone enlighten me on how this can be done? If people install and run mIRC: <A HREF= " http://www.mirc.com/ " >mIRC - An Internet Relay Chat program </A> we can start a " rosacea " channel and have discussions there. IRC is a much better chat medium for all internet users, including AOL members. It's also kind of fun when you get to know your way around it.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 1999 Report Share Posted May 16, 1999 Ok, i know people are visiting the chat room sporadically and not finding anyone there. Also, the format is rather awkward. I have visited, and there is a time delay, which makes " talking " to several different people difficut. Some people have mentioned another, faster system which may be used for the chat room format. Can anyone enlighten me on how this can be done? I think that that existing chat room is not being used partially because of the awkwardness of the format. Also, maybe if there was a direct link to it from the egroups web page? What's the concensus? Should we try to set up a chat time and just see what happens or let people visit whenever and not have " scheduled " chat sessions? -. ------------------------------------------------------ Get the Latest News at CNN Interactive: http://CNN.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
