• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

If you see the message "You have not joined any chat rooms", you need to refresh the window.

There are several ways to do this, depending on your web browser, but the refresh button is usually found in the top-left corner, next to the web address.
On a Windows device, keyboard F5 or Ctrl+F5 may also work.

If that fails to work, you may need to log off, clear cached data, temporary internet files, cookies and so on, then log back in.

Note that new members can not see the chat. So if you can see the chat button, you should be able to use it.

A refresh should get you to this window, where you can click Join room for the top room (only).

I'm considering a password-protected room, depending on how a trial in the first room goes.
Currently, there is no access to the second room.

The easiest way to do this is
  • to pull the window down or.
  • use the refresh button that is usually found in the top right-hand corner in the options.
