okay, no more beating around the bush here.
I tried to get the chat fixed but had no resources (like moula moula) forthcoming to get it done so was doing with the help of another member for free to try and fix it.
As we needed access to the server, to which I had been cut off from by the new owners of langtrees (even though I was allowed access), I couldn't do that and we couldn't fix it like that either. so that is the reason why it is where it is now.
As mentioned, Maryanne had said not to bother about it and as my hands were tied, I couldn't and didn't and it was taking up too much of my time and this other persons time as well.
This may change next week if what maryanne said to me yesterday happens and we then may be able to fix the chat room.
Time was spent trying to do so, by two people who went as far as they could with what they could utilise.
End of story - nothing to do with advice given and ignored or anything, etc, was completely out of our hands.
If we get the opportunity to do so, we will
