    Hi Snowdrop,
    No no chat room only the public forums and the personal messaging. Both of those are obvioulsy slower - at least you can get lots of advice friom lots of people on these forums. Personal messaging is private - if you do get on really well with someone you can swap MSN addresses etc I suppose if people are use those?
    You take care

    Thinking about it you could always make the suggestion to the mods? Other people might be interested too :)
    Hope you are feeling a tidge better now?

    Hi all,

    I have asked the web manager for the reasons we don't have a chat room. The reason why we cannot do this is because we don’t have the resources to moderate a live chat room. Everyone who moderates on this site, including me, is a volunteer living with arthritis.

    Hope this helps explain things,

    I think that would be a great idea for here. We do have the posting but chat would be so much fun and faster.

    Thanks for that Jean, it would be nice but as you say we rely on volunteers suffering themselves to even have the forum in the first place and trust me I speak for all when I say your contributions are greatly appreciated.

    :oops: Quite honestly I spend so much time on here, if there was a chatroom, I think I would be permanently glued to the chair and nothing else would get done at all, so for me, I am happy there is not. :oops:

    All the mods do a great job on here reading through the threads for checking purposes, they do too much as it is. A truly wonderful network provided by these wonderful peeps behind the scenes, that helps so many people in different ways.

    Thank you,

    Luv

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    [Hi jordan7j,

    I've removed the personal detail from the post. It is always best to avoid posting any specific "real-world" information about yourself as this is a public space. Let us know if you have any questions about this.

    Best,
