How to join our Chat
Print this page for easy reference.
Joining our chat is easy!
We use Yahoo Messenger (YM) which is a chat room that we found very easy to use and has a quick response time. We have tried other webpage type of chats and they seem to take more time to send our messages.
If you don't already have Yahoo messenger Just download and install the software see link below for help page for downloading instructions.
After you have downloaded and installed or if you already had YM. The next step is to send your "screen name" either by YM or email to ParentsChat facilitator Marian. Because it is a private chat room I will need to send you an invite to get in. (No passwords need to be sent.)
Next you'll want to see our Chat Information page if you haven't seen it already. This gives info on our group and the time zone chart. We have people joining us from various states and are in different time zones.
For the Chat, After you sign on with your internet provider (MSN, Altell, Juno, Compuserve, etc.,) you will then need to start your YM, just click on the Yahoo icon (may be on the bottom right side), then click sign on and it should start up. Let me know if you have a problem with signing on. Please E-mail me and I'll help you to get signed on.
Typically when you're signed on, I will send an IM to you asking if you would like to join us for that evening, if you reply yes then I will send the invite for you to click on.
You will then enter our chat room and your screen name will appear saying that you have entered the room. Then we just introduce ourselves.
Our Chats have been going really great and we've shared recipes, tips on parenting and important information about autism and conferences and such. This is a good way to meet other parents and share experiences and information.
Basic Steps include:
1. Download YM
2. Install YM
3. Get a screen name/or use yahoo screen name if applicable.
4. You may either send your screen name to ParentsChat owner: Marian
or you may contact me by sending an IM to ParentsChat to let me know you would like to join our chat on that evening. I'll need to add your screen name so an invite to the chat can be sent to you. Write to me if you have any problems.
Hope you can make it for a meeting soon.
