What's new in chat ?
Flu season and flu shots have been a discussion
in chat this week. Many Doctors say yes MSers should get the flu shot, yet some
say its not a good idea. Keep in mind This depends on each person. We have received
some very good information on what may be done if a Doctor says no the flu
shot its not good for you . Jeff who pops in and out of chat gave us some very
good information. This link explains Antiviral Medications Usage Guidelines.
These are medication we as MSers are taking or perhaps have taken. Such as amantadine
or rimantadine for chemoprophylaxis Please check out this link. Just a thought
print it out, give it to your neurologist He or she may want you to start one of
theses.

Helping Chatters Get Into Chat
People continue to have difficulties getting into Dreamchat. Tell us in detail what you have to do to a firewall, anti-virus program, or Pop-Up blocker program in order to get in. If you had to upgrade your Windows or Internet Explorer Service Pack, tell us from what, to what. We will start a page devoted to all the different problems people have had, and how they have overcome them, as a resource page for new chatters.
*** One major trouble people have been running into recently is with their Internet Security & Firewall Programs. Holding down the CONTROL key while entering seems to cure the problem. So give it a whirl if you get stuck at the log-in page. ***
DreamChat Trivia (repeated by popular demand)
New to Dreamchat and wondering how to make those neat little smileys and pictures in the text? Easy, here's the Cheat Sheet:
:) Smile :* Kiss :( Sad >-- Rose ;) Wink <love> Love ;} Wry <strobe> Strobe :p Tongue <nuke> Nuke :o Gasp <boom> Boom :# Mad <star> Star
How do I copy and paste something? Mark it as you usually would with the mouse. Then use CTRL-C to copy it, and CTRL-v to paste it in the message window.
I'm a member. I uploaded my avatar, and nothing happened. What's up with that? Even if your avatar is the specified 50 * 50 pixels, and no bigger than 15KB, there is no confirmation. Apparently because DreamChat personnel review all permanent member's avatars to make sure they are acceptable. (Whatever that means.) If they are, they send back an approval in a day or so, and the next time you sign in, "poof" your new avatar appears.
Crystal's Corner
Crystal is recovering from surgery. She is also busy moving her trailer to a new location ! She is a busy lady. She has asked me to please say hi to everyone. once settled she will start up Crystals Corner again.
