CHAT-A-LONG WITH LOST!!!

Yeah I know bad title

So the first Chat session will take place tonight @ 10/9c for USA viewers (4am UK time), and Sunday @ 10pm (4pm Central USA time) for UK viewers, to be repeated weekly. Tonights session will be a trial session to see a/ how well the chatbox performs and b/ how enjoyable it is. If anyone has any suggestions than feel free to reply here

As it is 4am here in the UK when it happens tonight, I wont be around to take part, but I will be able to view the archives of the chat so if no-one objects, I can post a transcript tomorrow for those who may not have been able to take part...if anyone objects then please let me know, its not a problem For future chats I may be looking for someone to volunteer as a chatbox moderator for the USA chats, but we'll see how it goes

The usual rules apply, ie no abuse or profanity - I dont have a problem with mild swearing in its proper context, but used as a form of attack or to "troll" is not allowed.

If anyone has any feedback, it will be very much appreciated

Chat-box Guide:

The chatbox does have a display problem at the monent that I am going to try and fix before tonight, but if I dont get the fix in before tonights session you can still use it.

To join a chat session you have two options;

Option 1 - Underneath the forum stats (who is online etc) there is chat stats section that shows you who is currently in chat. If you click "join chat" you will be logged in to the chatbox and a new window will open in full screen. This is a good option for large chat groups and means you can have the forum open in a different window.

Option 2 - In the top right corner of the chat-box is a "log in" option (it is half hidden at the moment due to the display problem) clicking this will log you into the chat and keep the chatbox at the bottom of the forum index. However navigating away from the index ie to make a post, will hide the chatbox and log you out of the chat if you are away for too long.

Whichever option you use, the commands are still the same - very basic type and send, with option for bold, itallic etc and to change the colour of your font.

For those who may wish to use them here is a couple of advanced commands;

/me - In the beginning of a sentence, this command will be replaced by your
username (ex: /me eats a delicious pizza" will display "Nickname eats a
delicious pizza")

/exit - Disconnect from the Chatbox. You can also give the reason that will be visible for all members connected (ex: /exit reason)

/abs - Send a message stating that you’re absent. You can add a reason that
will be displayed in the message and visible by all members connected
to the Chatbox (ex: /abs reason)

Cool i am so there tonight.

Next session tonight at 10pm GMT! ( or 5pm Newyork time) It will be episode 11, so all are free to join in!
