The GAGB are proud to announce the latest addition to the site - Chat Room.

Come in, grab a comfy chair, get comfortable and enjoy the banter.

Please, please, please play nice. We are going to have the chatroom on for a couple of hours a night on a trial basis. If it proves popular then it will become a permament addition to the site.

You can get into the chat by clicking on the Chat Room linky.

Enjoy.

I note that the link has disappeared, so presumably it will only be there at specific times.

Interestingly, at the bottom of the Forums 'front page' it shows that The Hornet is in the Chatroom at the moment (Sunday 4pm) - I hope he hasn't been shut in there by mistake :eek: - I would pop in and make Sunday afternoon tea and cucumber sandwiches, but I'll post some in through the letterbox if necessary.

Yes we locked him in over night as he's spending far too much time away from his keyboard.

Ian,

Can seem to get into the chatroom at all, can you poke, prod, or take whatever action is required, that assumes of course that the chatroom is running.

Cheers

Stuart

It a very pleasant Chatroom. Nice décor too. I hope everyone drops in, just to try it out :)

Just popped in for a brew before bed, and there was nobody there - shame!
I even brought a box of cakes and some special tea with me....

Will try and pop in tomorrow

Very well done! that's a great feature.
let's hope it's well used, and becomes a permanent feature.
I think I can see where this years GSP premium membership money will be going :socool:

Just realised that there wasn't a link to the already existing chat room, which is often more busy than the GAGB one, just for those really addicted to chatting!

http://www.geochat.co.uk/chat/ Thanks for that. StuartP has reconfigured the chatromm to be an IRC portal to GeoChat. Having two seperate chat systems could cause friction between cachers and thats one thing the GAGB is keen not to promote so we have now linked in with the existing GeoChat Room.

You can get into the chat by clicking on the "GAGB GeoChat" link on the Nav Bar or by using the link below:

Enjoy :cheers:

If you are using Wndows Vista you may have to give the java permission to run. This is a necessary step to get the chatroom to work.

That's a shame as I could access the GAGB chatroom room from my work computer but can't access the other other chat room (connection failed).
