Like i said, im sorry.

Sweetheart I am sure you haven't upset people.  Thing is an online facility like this is something people tend to use when they have time and sometimes there are other priorities.

We all feel alone and invisible sometimes but this is really not the case as the feeling of being alone is usually brought on by not physically being with anybody at the time.  There is a big difference!

Keep your chin up honey and if you want to offload on me please feel free to do so.

Much love,

Gracie,

I haven't heard about you upsetting anyone.

Sometimes chat can be a strange place - we all seem to feel we are 'invisible' sometimes. I'm quite certain it is not intentional on anyone's part - but sometimes people get so engrossed  in one line discussion that they sadly tend to overlook someone who is not actively participating. 

And what of course makes things worse is the new chat which is much less friendly than the old one, as we don't see who is typing, it is difficult to see who is new in the room - the colours around the name  box are horrible and many people try to avoid looking on that side of the screen.

Even if you did upset someone - just send them a PM and sort it out in a friendly way. Lots of us have had bad days - sadly its a nature of our disease or situation. Don't worry about it .

Look forward to seeing you in chat soon.

best wishes

Gracie,

I am not upset with you.  xx

I just cannot stand the new chat.

• It is unfriendly.
• You have to be watching the screen 100% of the time to tell what is going on.
• There are only visual warnings of people joining the room or leaving it.
• There is no indication people are writing a reply so you feel alone.
• No noise accompanies the addition of a new message so if you happen to not be looking at the screen you can miss it.
• All the Avatars are the same so you have to constantly read who is responding.
• The colours are reminicent of the Upstairs Downstairs programme of the early 1970's; especially the green.

My biggest regret is that the character of the room has so altered that it ceases to be the friendly place it once was.

If I am upset with anyone Gracie, I am upset with myself for nottrying to prevent the backward step of allowing the change to the chat room.
