Does this forum have an online chat room?

[bee4]

I wonder if this forum has an online chat room capability? where we could meet online like a group meeting? is that possible?

I don't know. I am new to the group.Perhaps someone else will know or someone from BTA will read and answer.

It would be a great thing.

No it's pretty basic, what you see is what there is.... Even the 'full-fat' website we used to have didn't have online chat.

I think a chat room is a great idea. I wonder how we can suggest it?

[Hidden]

It's not down to whether a chat room is a great idea.

Firstly that facility has to be available from the service provider (it might), the service user has to be prepared to pay for that service (uncertain but unlikely) and any chat room may need to be moderated to prevent inappropriate use.

The BTA has only recently changed to this service provider and it's Nic Wray you'd have to approach about any possibility for further changes.

Hi Bee. It's a good idea, and I've added it to the list of things people would like to see. I'm not sure it's offered via this site, but I'll find out!

Hi Nic I think a chat room on here would be useful just to kill time for tinnitus sufferers if the chat room was said just for a hour once a week . David

Hi Nic, thank you, it would be nice if it could work and if there were enough people at the same time in the chat room XOXO
