I don't get it. How do you send and is the other room available?

I've enjoyed using the chat room over the past year and a half while I was researching implants and then starting to get used to mine. The chat room was a place where I could ask a LOT of questions and get direct answers. The forums helped a lot, too, but with chat I could dig deeper into questions and get some answers. Lots of the men that visit chat have implants, and many of them use chat mainly to answer questions and help others. Clearly there are other reasons guys go there, but the FT function of men helping others sort through the ideas and choices they have for dealing with ED is being aided by the chat room.

I have used the camera there, as well. I live far from others here and wanted a "Show and Tell" about how an implant works. I got 2 different ones on private camera in the chat room. It worked fairly well, though the picture was grainy and would stutter from time to time. I know a lot of guys have had trouble getting the camera function to work with most browsers.

I've gotten so much great help here at FT, both in the discussion boards and in chat, that I've tried to help others the by sharing my experiences. I may go for a couple of months without looking at the boards or going into the chat room, but I try to get back and help others when I can. The chat room can be a very good part of that help.

I just logged on today for the first time in quite a while and went to chat. IMO, the new chat function is better than the old one, but it takes a while to figure out. Texts are easier to read, it keeps good track of contacts and groups. The audio and video are clearer and better. I had some trouble figuring out who was "in" chat, but I now know how to see a good list of the people there. My guess is that most guys that use chat will say the new program is confusing and difficult. It isn't as straight-forward as the old program, but once you figure it out, it works well. With better browser support and a better overall program, I'd vote to use the new one over the old.

BTW, it is possible to do both private chats and the entire group, but it is not obvious how. I had to have someone talk me through it.

Just my 2 cents.

I was just in the new chat room and noticed one other person in there as well. I said Hi to him but got no response.
Was I supposed to create a chatroom first before sending a message?

To GaMale or others that want to get into the group chat:

When you first get into chat, you'll see a list of people. You can chat individually with any of them. If you want into group chat, click on the tab on the upper left for "Groups" and then use the search bar right under that tab and type: Frank Talk Chat Room. That should get you into the room. From then on, when you come back to chat it will show a list of contacts and the Frank Talk Chat Room on the left side. Click on either a contact or the room.

Hope that helps. If anyone has questions, PM me.

That's great and I don't dispute your reality. As I previously stated, I only tried chat a couple of times a couple of years ago. What I described was was the reality of my experience at the time of my visits, which were admittedly limited.
