Chat

[Martin]

I didn't specify a room, and it let me right in. Good luck,

Thanks. I didn't specify either because I did not understand the options.

Now, although I have come away from the 'Chat' Section, I am still periodically getting the disembodied voice greeting me whilst I am reading the postings!! :x

I'll bet it's all down to me - I've never used a 'Chat' facility on line before (and it doesn't look is if I'm going to now!!)

I have never specified a room either. I simply enter my name (no password) and click the chat button and I'm take to the chat room.

I have never heard a disembodied 'hello' or any other sound for that matter.

I seem to recall that you use AOL to connect to the internet Hamish. If so, it may explain a few things. AOL is behind a lot of things that don't quite work properly on the internet.

Try accessing the chat room using Internet explorer rather than aol's own interface, you may have better luck.
