    chat roms
    I may get "spanked" for this, but the software for this site is quite old and slow. I don't use this forum as much as I'd like to because it is so darn slow and antiquated. For chat I use My CRC Connections (Colon Cancer Alliance site for patients), or FaceBook (we have several CRC groups on there).

    I've been wondering if anyone chatted or not. It'd be kinda fun to do so and get to know each other a bit better.

    Chat room software
    is weird - I tried downloading because I would like to chat, as well. It was not at all user friendly, and I finally gave up. I can't enter the chat rooms because my old dinosaur does not have necessary software, and I can't download it, so.....

    The boards are nice...

    Not working?
    Ive assumed they dont even work. The people here make this the most helpful, honest, sincere, and friendly board I've found. But it is by far the most technically antiquated in function and design. Seems to be years behind in software developement. I would love to find a forum that supports instant messaging and chat functionality - especially for these late-night, can't-sleep, wish-i-had-someone-to-chat-with-moments!

    Tried it once or twice
    But it was like a free-for-all. If you have a one on one chat it was ok but otherwise I found that people are responding to comments that were made like 4 comments ago. Personally I'm not a fan...

    yes, I go on in the morning about 8:00 and no one is ever there and Monday night about 900 and no one is there just once in a while. I'll be on tonight. I will look for you if you want.
