Would you use the chat room if you knew where it was?



Recommended Posts

With the new app, the chat room is fairly obvious - at least for Android. I dont think you can minimize it though. I never really did the chat room on BP.

Well that was obnoxious. When I clicked on chatroom on the new app, it wanted me to sign in again. When I went to sign in, it wanted me to reset my password. Well, obviously I AM signed in since I am posting this...

I would. I have been on this board since last month and went into the chat room a few times and was alone each time. I found it odd that the link to the chat room was so well hidden! I am the kind of person who likes instant gratification so if I have a question, I want an answer -- NOW! :-)

It would be nice if you would message Alex and tell him that you think the link to the chat room is well hidden . I thought he was going to be getting a new server and things were going to able to be moved around, like an obvious chat button.

if I have multiple tabs open - and one is the chat - will it let me know if anyone else comes in the room, or do I have to babysit it?

If you're on the laptop, there's a doorbell sound when someone enters and a door closing sound when someone leaves...

Thanks! I was on the lap top. I will try again tomorrow. I feel better knowing I won't miss any visitors. You are always so helpful and I do appreciate it.

I was on my laptop the other day and had opened the chat room. There was no one there so I left a message that I would be back in an hour which I was. Again no one was there but I left that window opened and went off to do some other things. I had no idea at the time that the chat room had a doorbell as I didn't really take the time to look around. I thought it was odd that I heard a doorbell and about 10 minutes later when I realized what it was someone had entered the room and left. Now when I hear that doorbell again I hope to get back to the chat room quicker.

Perhaps when others enter and they are the only ones there, they too could leave a message as to when and if they might be back so chats can take place.

We need that chat button moved!

We wouldn't be having these problems if people who liked to chat knew there is a chat room and how to find it!

It seems the 'Chat' button has now been moved...

Just in case anyone is interested...

It's on the right hand side (laptop) next to the 'New Content' tab...

Look at me being all helpful and sh*t...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
