Hi firefiter
how can i use the chat room bearing in mind that i am a member of this forum
and at what time the members are online, if there is a specific time,

yours
hesham

Hi there Hesham!

If you look at the attached picture file above, the red arrow is pointing to the 'chat room' login. Just type your name in the specified box and click 'Enter Chat'. You'll be taken to the white room (as I like to call it, LOL) and can function like a standard chat room.

In regards to what time members are online, well that differs with each user. You must remember, everyone here is a volunteer. They give their time and efforts for the greater good, cause it ain't for the money, I'll tell ya that ;) But if you go to the main forum page and scroll all the way down to the bottom, it should tell you exactly whose on line at that moment. You could always pm somebody and ask if they want to chat. Otherwise, you may get lonely in there. You can use the chat anytime you'd like, even setup times with your friends you'd like to chat up about VBA or the web site!

Ahhh pants I was looking forward to that chat, and now I'm going to be away... :mkay

Don't suppose I'll win anything now, either.... <sigh> :bore

Ah well... hope it goes well!!

Ad

Argh!! I missed it!
:bawl

Starting painting my computer room this past weekend (still not done) so my computer has been unplugged since then.

Hope the chat went well! (although I have no doubt that it did!)

Its not until the 11th (Sunday).

Hopefully, the room will be painted and all the furniture and what-not is put back by then!

I missed it.
:bawl

Just got my computer hooked back up! At least the room is painted and my computer is alive again!
:)

Whoops! I slept through it. :rolleyes:

Sorry I missed it!

I'll be there next time!

Smitty

The chat went very well! There was some very good discussion. It's fairly new chat software, and seemed to stand up to the test. Thanks to everyone who showed up! Your presence was appreciated! :yes

Anyone desiring a transcript of the chat can make thier requests to me by pm with an email address to send it to. File will be in text format (.txt).

See ya 'round!

Smitty,

we have a table for two (with a crib) reserved; if you will be accompanied by more just let us know so we can break out the fold-away chairs! :D

Scott

I thought the chat was awesome! I didn't win anything :bawl though. I'll just have to keep trying.

The discussion of the future of VBA as well as the descriptions of the upcoming books from MrExcel was well worth the time it took to participate. I hope the chat session becomes a regularly occurring event.

We hope so, too. Brandtrock. And we're planning on it...I have it on good word that we'll be giving away more books, too...

Anne - thanks for the link - I finally got the javascript to work!

Warm regards,:hi:

See our next Chat!
