I have on occasions put up in the chat room forum that I would open a forum chat room.
I don’t believe many people see it there as when I have spoken to people in chat rooms they say they only look at the café forum and never go into the chat forum only if there is a problem with chat.
I did ask once if I could advertise a forum chat room in the café as more people would see it who would be more likely to use it. I was told it belonged in the chat room forum as it was a chat room issue.
I can see both points to this debate.
Could we not advertise it in the café for it then to get moved the next day?
Just an idea!
I would like you opinions on this?
Would more people see it in the café?
how about... in your sig, in large letters... when you have a room open... make the announcement there?
have one on standby in 'word' or something... ready to cut and paste whenever the need takes.
or a 'clickable' link to the running threadin chat that makes the announce,ents that a room is open?
am I making sence yet?

well Lady Minx...
Ive checked the link, and it seems to work in the signature area... so:
quote the above posting of mine, and copy/paste the link into your signature area when the room is open.
also, you might ask anyone else who is dropping into chat to do the same as a favour... to let all and sundry know.
hows that?

Save yourselves.

In the days of long ago - the forum chat room was opened on such a regular basis it didn't really need to be advertised.
Be nice to see it up and running again like that - doesn't matter who opens it - that's what makes the room work. Was the only chat room I went in at one time and I miss it.
One of the positive things it encouraged was the members who either posted occasionally in the forum or lurked came in to say hi.
