how do i get in a chat room?

[LeBeau]

In order to use the chat room, you must have at least 25 post AND you need to have been a member for 2 weeks or more. Sometimes the system takes a few hours to recognize that you've become eligible for the chat room, so please be patient. There are some exceptions to this rule, and you can read the complete Chat Policy by Clicking Here

In the meanwhile, there are thousands of discussions you can participate in on the boards, which are the heart of PTO- The chat room is really just icing on the cake.
If you scroll down the Forum Index, you'll surely find a forum that is relevant to your interests and concerns. Click on the forum title to enter the forum , then click on a thread title to read that thread. Reply by either typing your reply into the "Quick Reply" box at the bottom of the thread or by clicking on the "Post Reply" button just above the "Quick Reply" box, then click "Post Reply" when you've finished typing.
To create a new thread, look at the top of the thread list in any forum for a button marked "New Thread", click on that and it will open a window where you can give your thread a title and type up what you want to say or ask. When you are done, click near the bottom where it says "Submit New Thread" and your thread will be posted.
If you ever have trouble finding a post you made, go to the bottom of the main index, find your name in the list of members online, and click on your name. This will take you to your profile. Then choose "Find all posts by____" and you'll get a list of all of your posts/threads.
Hope this helps clear up some of your questions.

Im new to this also and it would not let me chat either could someone please help.
My fiance and i have been engaged for years and now we are deciding to actually do this and i would like to know if someone knows anything about the procedures in LSCI, PA

Tcox, the reason you couldn't chat is that you are not yet eligible for that feature.

I downloaded this and it still will not let me in. I guess i havent been on long enough for this to work.

[jjj72]

I downloaded the Java and it worked fine but then I get a error message saying "Error connecting to server. Please try again in a few minutes" I have been trying for a few hours. Does anyone know whats up with this?

[Ness]

jjj72, I had quite a bit of trouble downloading java aswell, I think it was part of the install process. If you are running Microsoft Windows, I would suggest you do a Windows update and after I did that my download worked beautifully.

[jjj72]

Hi Nortynou,
I have a dumb question how do I update my microsoft windows?

[funnyface09]

If you click Start your menu should pop up, at the top of your menu it should say Windows Update click on that and it will take you to the update site. If you don't, here is a link that should take you there, but it is best if you go through your own computer.

[PTO-110524]

LOL - even if you teach college, you STILL need 25 posts to get into the chat room.
