Gerry and all.. I've attached a screen shot of the website with a little note on where to enter your chat message. Once you enter your chat message you just hit your Enter key and it will post your message. The one thing to remember though...is to look and see who all is signed on. If you are the only one signed on then you won't be able to chat with anyone until someone else signs in. If there is some chat text already showing in the box then it is from people that were chatting previously. The text doesn't go away until it is cleared http://s80.photobucket.com/albums/j164/hwyflier2/?action=view¤t=chat.jpg
I hope this helps and clears things up. If there any other questions please let me know. Look forward to seeing you all there..
