Debora, Bonnie is giving your good advice. I saw you at the chat this past Sunday, and said Hi. Perhaps you were on a different channel, and I didn't notice. I don't fully understand the channel thing. It seems that it normally takes you right into channel 2, and we try to stay there. But occasionally we end up in another channel, and then just about everybody needs "rescuing." Try again. If you click on the "Finger" button in the middle of the bottom, it will give a list of all the people on the chat, their ISPs, and which channel they're on. We try hard to get everyone on the same channel, but sometimes it takes a little time, especially when the conversations (all six of them at once) are going fast and furious.
