Way of knowing when members are chating live
Hii> All. I have been giving the following matter alot of thought & concideration on all sides > I have one question to ask thay you acn reply to or just think on. Have you ever felf that you want to caht with a sertain person on live chat & avoided doing so thinking they may be already chating live with some one & you do not want to but in.?. I feel that it is now time for the DS web site to be set up in such a way that leys us all know when a member we want to chat with is already doing so with some one else. There are 2 of many ways that this can be done.. One. The DS team send us emails letting us know that our friend on here have either sent us a mesage ect or have wrote another jurnal. So the DS team could ealily some how let us know when some one we want to chat with is already chating.n The DS team can eiother do this by email Or add a system that tells us. Foy example. Say one of you wanted to talk with me & you loged on to my CHAT link. Once you have dont that fi if Im chating with some one else the system should put you on nhold telloing you Im chating & giving you options such as Do you want to wait on hold? Do you want to leave a mesage? Or try again later? There should also be a chat section where more than one of us can be on at the same time but if any one acts out of hand ect then we sghould be able to block them from continuing. They have the optiopn of apologising later. But should that not happen or they do then mess up again then they get blocked and never alowed back on that section. The sectoing can be called Group chat.. Im trying to contact the DS team to put this idea to them but if you agree with it & can help then please help me by putting it to them also. Look at it this way. One person does not have a strong enough voice when trying to geyt heared or some thing done. Take a protest march as an example. The more peole in it some times the more likely hood that some thing will get done. This is DS iantb it? so why do we not all take that in board when some one is trying to get some thing or some thing done.??. Lets start with the ideas I have just put to you all.. . Take real good care.. Thank you.. Graham from Scotland.. Pass the worsd. Ifan y one you contact agrees then tell them who put it to you.

I think if you request to chat with someone, the person can accept or reject, and even give a message like, \"I am chatting with someone, can you chat some other time?\" I do not chat, because there is big chance I will me interrupted by my mother needing me. Also, to me, chatting is like talking on the phone which I usually do not like, because I often do not know what to say and I feel stupid.
Anyway, I hope you have success with your chatting.

I have never really been big on live chating because I can\'t type very good or fast enough to keep up.( I have arthritis.) I think the live chat thing just says accept or not, or do you want to accept. I guess we are just supposed to answer, yes or no, and add if we are busy, or what ever. I am always willing, but I am not very good at it. There is a web site that is through GROWW another grief support site that has live chat rooms for grief support. I found it to be too many things all at once, and they were not even talking about their grief much. DS members all seem much more supportive and they help me. I would try the DS live group chat if they had one though. It\'s a good idea, Love Peg
i do believe that Pegy. Its easy to believe. I too went on a web site for some thing & hearly any one was talking about the reason they were there. . The help they needed. Its okto have a social chat but there has to come a time when we talk of my we are here. Apart from the fact I have stated why Im here. I have many reasonst be here. But Im not the only one who does I so glad to say lol My deal old mum had athritis. I think i have got something like it.. I know what you mean about fast typing. Im not so good at that either. Thank you my friend. Take care..Graham From Scotland
