The chatroom can be found by scrolling to the bottom of page. This chatroom can only be used by forum members, and requires your username and password to log in. This chatroom is hosted by Java, and you will need Java to be able to access it. As it's a free chatroom it carries ads, sorry--one of those things. Same rules apply to chatroom as for forum. IF YOU WANT TO ABUSE---DON'T USE!!! This is a trial--if unused/disliked, it can be removed. Please send feedback. Ignore this---post will be removed when a fully functioning chatroom is up and running. Edited by B.D., Mar 22 2009, 01:44 AM.

This works brilliantly, almost as good as Skype... only thing is you can't flick from chatroom to forum & back, if you select forum having logged into chatroom you'll be binned out of chatroom and have to log in again... Mart |

Hi mart. I've taken that old chatroom down, and replaced it with this current one. Still have the same problem regarding the logging out--there ARE ways around it, but, as you discovered, you can look at other sites, like myspace, and still stay chatting. So it's a slight improvement. Plus it's the EKR Europeanklassikrock chat box--it says so on the front!! co If anyone wants to test it out, click the 'Enter my chatroom' button on the front page underneath 'Board Statistics', and follow the instructions . One thing---Under the 'Your name' box there's a 'Your profile' box---ignore it. Not filling it in doesn't prevent you from entering the chat. In future weeks, there may be an integrated chatroom from the host site, that will enable you to navigate the whole forum, without being 'logged out' of chat. More info whenever...!

At the bottom left of the board, under 'choose a theme', there should be a blue 'Chat Now' button---click button.A new, MINIMISABLE box opens. Enter your username and click connect.Once loaded, you should see the chatbox open. You may see a smaller box first, asking for password. Ignore this, and click 'enter without password'. Once in, that's it. Above your type in box, there's an array of features, for changing text colour, sending smilies and funny noises etc. Still can't solve the 'who's on line' problem, but as you can minimise the box, and browse the forum, or any other website WITHOUT getting logged out, you can sit in chat and wait for other people to join in, and still use your computer. So I DON'T CARE!!! The button appears at the bottom of any forum page you're reading co I think this has to be the one to use, until an integrated one is introduced. If everyone tries it out, and likes it, I'll remove the preceding posts, and leave this as user info. Now..anyone know how to install a 'Listen Live' link for studio playout??

This forum has a very under-used chatroom. Would anyone be interested in joining in on a pre-arranged group chat--maybe on a sunday evening? Would it be worth setting up a poll, to test any interest? |

Hi BD! I don't think a poll is really needed, just a few of us to register an interest here should do. So count me in too............ On the other hand perhaps typing in some text like this like this like this like this like this like this (oops!) may be too onerous for everyone, so LET'S HAVE A POLL

Hi Arsene--and to the forum! The chatroom facility is there to use. It does get used sporadically but maybe a chat 'invitation' thread would help? |

I use the chat room. If there's no one else about, tab and log in as someone else. It can be quite fun................ Nurse! The pills!! |
