Tuesday night skater's chat - success!!!

[icedancer2]

Well, we had the 1st night of the Tuesday evening skater's chat and I think it was pretty successful!! Lots of intricate talk about Dance, Moves, Freestyle, blades, ice, competitions, you name it -- all of the stuff that we like to talk about!!

Hope to see you again next week.

I noticed several people dropping in and not commenting and wondering why -- wrong format, too slow?

Comments, please!!

I could see eventually where we might want to have separate chats for freestyle, dance, moves, synchro, competitors, recreational skaters, etc. --

Fun!

I will join you next week!

Well, let's see, if I'm on at 10 pm US West Coast time, then it would be -- ?? like 6 in the morning for you?

Hee-hee -- I hope we can do a mid-day chat at some point! (This was just the beginning!!)

I tried to get into the chat later on, but it wouldn't take my screenname/password.

I got in, but for some reason, everything I posted came up multiple times. To see the new posts, do you need to keep refreshing the screen, or does it do it on it's own?

I think you need to keep refreshing. Don't quote me, however, because that was my first ever chat.

The problem I had is that someone was private chatting with me at the same time I was also public chatting. I would answer the private chat and then try to answer the public chat. However, I would forget to change the choice to public (or "all" or whatever it was), and my posts would go to the private. I couldn't figure out how to copy it, so I would end up retyping the post to the public chat. Whew - that was a major pain!

I did enjoy it, however, even though I didn't get to come into it until later.

Stormy, there is a "Reload" button to press on the chat screen; don't use the Refresh button in your browser. That could have been the problem.

I just figured out my correct username and password, and I think I have next Tuesday night available, so if someone could please keep me posted at what time it will be next week (CDT), I'd highly appreciate it. Thank U! 8-)

Yup, that must have been it. I was refreshing the whole broswer window. Duh. :roll:

Well, last night we started around 7:40 EST and 4:40 PST, so Central time would be what -- 6:30 or so!!

Tune in and see who shows up!!

It is hard to keep the messages straight -- I haven't bothered with the "private" chats much -- too complex for me -- but at some point I'm sure we'll all be experts!
