We have a chatroom on Wednesday night at 9.30pm every week.
You go to chatroom at the top of the page and enter the chatroom and then enter the sub chatroom called Australian chatroom.
Please feel free to come on in and chat.
We have had a good turn out and would love to have a few more. Thanks to everyone for showing up and making it a success.
If you have any problems getting in let us know.

9:30pm (21:00) AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time).

:thumbsup:

Please remember that to get into the chat room you must have 25 valid post - and be a member for at least 2 weeks.

If you get into chat and get a blank page or a small red X you may want to make sure you have www.java.com (http://www.java.com) installed properly!

Just a quick question- what constitutes a "valid post"??? Wow- in a place like this, where people come for support, you're telling me i need to be here 2 weeks and post 25 times before i can chat to people in the same situation as me, who can offer help and support? I would say that the first couple of weeks would have to be the hardest- the adjustment, and the learning "how things work". Just an observation... i can wait... i have MONTHS to wait... :)
I'd love to get to know you all!

Here you will be able to read why we have the rule set the way we do.

I'd love to get to know you all!

Oh, no- i understand all that. It makes sense. I was just so excited to find this place!

(and see that- one more post!)

Hi all
I was hoping that I could join in for the chat this week but work kept me busy till late and missed out anyway when I came on line probably a half hour ago I thought I would just check it out the chat room and have a look see for hopefully next week.
I was in the main room and couldn't see any sub rooms to get to so my question is did I miss something or get lost or is the Australian chat room only accessable during certain times? like Wed 9.30 - ???

It has a drop-menu that says "main chat room", and the sub chatroom is only there during those times (or so i've found).

If you go into the chat at 9.30pm on a Wednesday night, underneath all the names of people chatting is a drop down menu. It will have Main room and then The_Aussie_Chat_Room. Click on that and then you will enter. :)

Oh hopefully next week you will be able to make it. We have a few showing up and it is great. This sub chatroom is only there during the times we are on, we would love to see you there.

Hope to see a few in chat tonight!! :)

I hope to be in there tonight, work finishing early and all that Jazz.

We are in chat, so if you want to come join please feel free to join in.

Hi im omni, just found out about this chatroom. Is it going to be everyweek, because would really like to talk. If so, what time do you finish, because i think next wed, im working till lockup and might not be home till after twelve. also have you decided on any other times. Thanks.

Hi Omni,
Great to meet you and welcome to PTO and the Aussie/NZ forum!! :)
We normally chat on Wednesday nights from 9.30pm till whenever we decide to finish up. We haven't decided on any other nights to have chats, but if anything does come up, we will post it on here. :)

Did we want another time and night and if so what best suits everyone???? Do we want 2 nights or one??? Let us know what you need or want and we will try to meet them.

Is it still 9:30 tonight? daylight savings and all that shemozzle?

Yep with the daylights savings time change and all. Hoep to see you all there catching up. 9.30pm.

I was thinking it might be an idea to have a second chat session either on Saturday or Sunday night. Some people might feel like talking after a visit.

Just a thought...

I just noticed that there are four of us looking at the forums right now (Sunday night). Maybe it would be good to open the room on a Sunday evening so we can chat about our visits and stuff.

Ooops just realised I've basically repeated what I said in my previous post on this subject. :o

What time on a Sunday is good for everyone we can sure see how it goes. We can do them both and see how they go???

Hi guys, i think ive reached my 25 posts and am hoping to join in chat tonight. I have no idea how it works, anyway might see you there

Great look forward to seeing you on the chat! Any problems getting on PM and can walk you through it.

I'll get my post count up then I will be in there!

Good to hear Fidel look forward to chatting with you

Hey wat time is the chat room open i went in there and no one inside?

I'm in chat at the moment. Not sure how long I'm going to stay online for though, am being lazy and want to watch tv in bed. Haha.

Sorry, I have enormous amounts of problems trying to get into/use the chatroom. :(

Hope it all is ok for next week, was it your computer?

What happened with this chat room..is it still going?

Sesy,

We did have chats for a long time, however the less and less people seemed to be turning up. If you would like to chat, then maybe we can start them up again. :)

Yep Id be in a chat nortynou that'd b good!!!

Ok what we might do then is start organising to do them again. Will begin this Wednesday if everyone wants to.

NORTYNOU Ok just let me know ( will have to battle with my teenage daughter to get on but where there is a will....) I really like your Quote to about a small group of "committed" ( he he ) people can change the world I do totally agree n RIP Kirky I am sorry for your loss.

Hello I would love to be involved in the Chat rooms. I have only joined today the 1st of March and willneed to get my 25 posts up but as soon as I meet the requirements set I will be there if they are running.

Elley,

Once you have done your requirements you are more than welcome to join us. The more the better!! :)

Mala, yes I saw the quote on a music video clip and thought it was fantastic!! And I believe it to be true, it can only take a few people to change the world!! :)

I got 28 + posts so I can chat?? dont have to wait two weeks? Hay Elley glad you could make it~

No mala, you will still have to wait the 2 weeks before you can join chat. The requirements are 25+ posts and be a member for 2 weeks.

Darn it. I set myself a reminder but I was so tired last night I didn't log onto the internet so I didn't get it and I forgot all about it. Maybe next week...

Its alright Wissy, I went into the chat room at about 9.45pm and no one joined me. :(

Well I'll try to remember next week Nessy.

Is anyone going to be using the chat room this week?

miss my tony, I will definitely try to get there this week. It would be great to see if we can get the chats up and going again. :)

Sorry, I've been so out of it this week, with the public holiday I really have no idea what day it is. :P I fell asleep pretty early last night, I was so tired... ugh.

Thats o.k. MIO, I got invited out for an underbelly night!! :)

Am in the chat room at the moment. Had a bit of a problem getting in, as I didn't have my Java Add On enabled, but all is good now and I am there if anyone wants to chat. :)

I'm So Broken and Miss My Tony, great to chat to you for a little while tonight. Hope to see you there next week. :)

Am in the chatroom if anyone wants to chat. :)

I will join you on this Wednesday 9.00pm.

I intend to be there...
