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 completely forgot about it!

I will join you next week!

Middle of the night for me, alas....

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!

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

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!
