Chat room

Sorry but half the time I want to post in the chat room the box won't recognise me - other times its fine - annoying

Not easy to use at the best of times ..

Sorry, now't I can do about it, all seems to work fine here
I'll have a look see if any other sites have issues

Have a look here Pete, see if any are having the same problem as you

all fine at my end

Just was a bit fustrated that I couldn't answer people when I wanted- by the time I could things had moved on

I agree Pete this is one of the reasons I only view and don't join in.

I must admid I was only viewing and could not keep up with the conversation.

I got the feeling that too many people were talking at the same time..maybee need to slow the conversation down a bit

Got to agree with what is being said, the chat room sessions are difficult with everyone jumping in.

I think we should inform the members there is going to be a chatroom a few days ahead, they can then submit any questions (within the rules of the club) queries or ideas for improvements and then the Admin can list them and proceed with one item for a set session of say 10 minutes with only that question being talked about.

Then we move on to the next item and so on until all the items have been covered.

If an item is not resolved in the time frame we can continue on the open forum until it has been resolved.

Your thoughts please.

Just what I think I have said, it is confusing when everyone is answering ad hoc as nothing gets done.

Definitely agree with the above.

these live chatroom should run like commitee a chair will open adress a subject com trol and in vite people one at a time to talk and so on simpels

prearanged questions
question 1 put by chair 3 mins or one tx
he will invite speaker 1 . 3 mins or one tx
he will invite speaker 2 . 3 mins or tx

same way as commitee meeting or public meeting

3 mins is normal to speak in public meeting [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] simpels

I think you're making hard work out of something that works very well. It is the uninhibited speach that can be very informative and then taken away by the commitee to be discussed. I think selecting questions before hand inhibits open speach and can put people off.

Just my views, no offence ment to anyone

I agree with telll

i have done both methods to talk in chat room free for all very fast the people on here they do not like this way we can try the public meeting way if no good back we go no trouble i understand wot you are saying i personal love chatrooms i would be on there now but no one use it if they did practic it would be fine

That's what I thought a chat room was ,for chatting , not a question and answer session, questions can be put on forum and answered or voted on

I totally agree it will work this way as long as everyone keeps to the subjects that are being spoken otherwise the conversation goes haywire
:-k

just trying to offer a difrent way as a lot of people seen not to like the way it was last night ha ho of we go

I'm not that keen on them either, face to face is best for discussing anything
I tend to answer someone with eg ken: and then the answer to their question, but the more people in there the faster they go and posts disappear fast
Even using the forum, there could be a couple of posts before you post yours so it could still get confusing.

Some had trouble typing in the text box as well, nothing would stop this from happening and I can't see a reason why that happened

I think it is a good, honest, open way to have a discussion. It also allows people to air there views in real time with no restriction. Agree people need to direct answers with question name ie;-' Ken ' but with practice this will get better.

as long as the member s happy thats all we wont practice is the key i mite open chatroom up in a couple day try get people talking on it i tried before but only two came in the they dont like it

Is it possible for something that flashes at the top of all pages , as if you dont go on the home page much like me you dont know anyone is chatting

Bit like your clock Bazza

Yeah that would be good

i asked for chatroom to be on top head page when meeting on ever one complained it is in posible ot suit ever one need more in put from all not just 2 or three to be fair not meaning to ofend

You're not offending me Mick.
We missed your input last night.
Probably very difficult for Ken to keep changing page layouts around and people will get used to where it is when they've used it a few times.
Last night there were 15 members logged on to the site but only about 7 in the chatbox ... they need coaxing a bit more I think...

I didn't even realize there was even a chat going on last night!

The event was well advertised on the 2 days before

I knew about the chat Monday eve John.

was a bit confusing

Ok

M.

Yeah, a lot complained about it being at the top as you had to scroll half way down the page to get to the topics, It's easy to put it to the top, we can always move it up there when we are going to use it
