Chat Room On Fpn - Shoutbox - Now Open

[Princeps Anglorum]

Any time zone you have set in your settings is the answer.

 

HTH, warm regards, Wim

Many thanks for that clarification.

Fair enough - good explanation. I can see that removing "problem children" is a tall order.

 

Many forums make any sort of chat function a totally separate level of authentication. Some of it is to avoid spamming. Some of it is just to keep the "pecking order". It is so darned hard in cyberspace to not err on either end of the spectrum. Who gets to play on which playground and with whom? And then the one or two kids who get let on the field wreak havoc and make it difficult for everyone who played nicely.

 

Okay, off my silly soapbox for now . . .

Err, it pops up just fine. But it is a "read only" scenario. When does it become "read/write"?

after you've been a member for 10 days

Hope this helps

Maybe the admin team can add to the top pinned post shoutbox also requires a 10 day membership.

I think it will cut out a lot of future questions.

Hello,

I just wanted to add to the previous posts that it would be helpful for new members to post the 10 day waiting period for shoutbox clearly in the help section. I have just spent the past hour sorting through information to figure out why I was in a read only state on shoutbox. I finally found the answer here. I admit to being a bit of a luddite in regards to using forums and social websites, but it seems that I am not the only one that was unable to figure it out easily.

Thanks for providing a really cool site to learn and share about fountain pens.

Made more visible in the first post in this topic.

 

Period is now even better: 7 days, same as use of the Upload function.
