Do you need some help in setting up an account with the Chatwee platform? @Delicatessen

Tagging @TideisTurning

I know you all mean well, but I feel your system of communication is over the top unwieldy.

Surely I could watch a video without having to create a new membership with a new group, chat pee?

I hear you @Delicatessen & @jumble . I know you're not the only ones to have had frustrations and challenges with the Chatwee platform and I appreciate you bringing the issues you're experiencing to our attention. I'm not sure if this FAQ might be of some help to either of you? There will also be the option to read a transcript of the discussion back afterwards- we will post here when that is available. You, or anyone who would like to is also welcome to continue or discuss here on the Forums by creating a new thread.

Hello to everyone on the forums!

This is a reminder post that this week’s Online Peer Group Chat, surrounding the topic of Trying to Connect in a Sometimes Lonely World, will be happening today at 7:00 – 8:30pm (AEST)!

Here’s a bit about the group:

Despite living in an ever more connected world, loneliness and isolation still seem to be ever present. Loneliness and isolation can take many different forms – it could be emotional, social and/or collective. Let’s come together to share experiences of loneliness and isolation, and explore ways of connecting.

Peer Group Chats are hosted outside of the forums, using a platform called Chatwee. To join an Online Peer Group Chat, you will need to register for an account with Chatwee. On the night, follow this link and log in to your Chatwee account before the group starts. Please see this FAQ if you have any questions!

Finally, here is some information to make it easier to know when to log on, depending on where you are in Australia!

Western Australia: 5pm
Northern Territory & South Australia: 6:30pm

Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria & Tasmania: 7pm

Thanks and we’re looking forward to seeing you there! I am going to tag some members of the community, but feel free to tag others or support this post if you want an update tonight!

Thanks for the tag @TideisTurning but I'm pretty knackered. Unlikely to last the duration apart from anything!
