One thing that icklemiss/Eithne and Karen/Abby'sMom did I found very helpful, so I played copycat. Those participating can alter their Skype profiles to give their first names, and their Skype/TCS usernames.

Some "bugs" still have to be worked out, but we're off to a pretty good start, as far as I can judge.Originally Posted by GailC
I just downloaded Skype this morning on my slow dial up-not sure if it will work for me or not-will have to mess around with it!
The live chat started just before the Skypecast, and then ran parallel to it, because many participants didn't have headsets. Or were too chicken to talk! Don't just , join in!Originally Posted by tjwharton24
Did i really miss a chat? thats what i get for having renovations to a house that have to be done UUGGGG!!!!
I didn't know we had Chats.. i was wondering why TCS didn'yt have a chat feature..

I'm not sure. Wouldn't some people have trouble finding the Skypecast?Originally Posted by icklemiss21
Some people might just be shy, are we going to keep the typed chat running also, it was good for people who wanted to ask questions without having to do the wait/ask to talk thing.
ETA:
As we have the link on here, does anyone else think its a good idea to have the skypecast set to hidden so we don't get quite so many strange random people playing music etc

Just click on "Options" and "Edit My Profile".Originally Posted by Anakat
How do you do that?
I think most people clicked the skpecast from the link given here or in the typed chat room and not by searching - if we had a the link on here it shouldn't be a problem - but then no new people find out about itOriginally Posted by jcat
