Does Anyone Ever Use The Chat Room?

Does anyone ever use the chat room?

[Princess1029]

I don't think many people do. I've gone in a couple times, not many people are in there..

[Kat]

we use to use chat all the time and have helped many ppl..everytime i go there no one is ever there

[rickysgrl]

I forget that it exists. Maybe I'll drop in some time.

[JodyAnnShaw]

I've been checking on and off all night and have yet to see ANYONE in chat. How often is it actually used?

[JodyAnnShaw]

Definitely nobody in there tonight!

[Timsgirl2011]

everytime i go no one is ever in there, so I just stopped going in. LOL if others used it I would as well though

Honestly, the chat room is just "fluff" and probably the least useful place in all of PTO for getting information or for connecting with other people. It’s fun, but it is NOT what PTO is all about.

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. I wish you all the best of luck!

Hi Downazzchick80!! Welcome to PTO! I'm glad you've found us! Like I said before, the chat room is just "fluff" and probably the least useful place in all of PTO for getting information or for connecting with other people. It’s fun, but it is NOT what PTO is all about.

In order to use the chat room and the blog feature, you must have at least 25 posts 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.

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 upper right corner of the screen and click on your name. This will take you to your profile. Then choose "Statistics", in that screen, click on "Find all posts by..." and you'll get a list of all of your posts/threads.

Lastly, for now, if you ever get a message saying that your post or thread has been moved, all you have to do is click on the thread title within that message and you'll go right to the new location of your thread or post.

Hope this helps!

I've tried logging in a few times but it always asks me for a username and password and I guess i must've memorized mine wrong cause I can't get in.

Rose - there's an announcement on the front forum page that says you need to enter "c h a t" in both boxes when you're asked to log in to chat.

[Renee]

Hi Jamesinindiana! Welcome to PTO! Please scroll up in this thread a little to my post in #9. You havent met the chat room requirements yet, but you will find lots of support and information on the open boards in the meantime! Good luck!

[Renee]

Well, if you click the "Entertainment" tab in the black bar at the top of any page, a pull down menu will appear with "Who's chatting." That way you can see if there's anyone there without actually logging in! But the chat room is just "fluff" and probably the least useful place in all of PTO for getting information or for connecting with other people. It’s fun, but it is NOT what PTO is all about.
