Does anyone use the chat room i often open it up but i have never found anyone in there ?

I have a look in now and then. Latest last night. Only once have I had a chat with anybody,

I managed two conversations, after that I would go in and not get any response from the person already there, I assumed that they were elsewhere (reading the latest postings) and not monitoring the room (or the little red indicator box!) Is it possible to get an audible or visual notification that some one else has entered or responded? just a thought!

Best way to make these things work is to advertise a day, a time, and a topic or two, well in advance. Use the Announcements

section if you like.

I used to sit in there during the day for a short while whilst in my last job.

Alas, don't really have the time at the moment. I shall persist and attempt to connected to the chat popped out so that I can see people coming into the chat room throughout the day :-)
