[BeNormal]

Hi have registered but can’t figure out this chatwee thing and can’t log into to group chat

Good Evening @BeNormal . It would be great for you to join the peer group chat.

Have you registered as a new member on the chat platform? The login is NOT the same as your forums log in.

Hope that helps.

I'll be around if you need help logging in. Click on "Open Peer Group Chat" https://www.sane.org/peer-support/peer-group-chat

@BeNormal 

Do you see this window?

Press 'Accept'

@BeNormal 

Then your window looks like this:

Type in your email and password that you signed up with.

[BeNormal]

Yes I can see it but it won’t let me do it 

[tyme]

@BeNormal ,

Does anything appear on your screen? Or does it go white (blank)?

If it is blank, you MAY see a little purple speech bubble at the far bottom-right of your screen.

I wish it was easier to login - I really hope you don't miss it! But if you do, it's okay because transcripts of the entire chat WILL be made available here: https://www.sane.org/peer-support/peer-group-chat/previous-chats

Tonight's chat will appear by next week sometime.

You can also read previous chats.

Let me know how you go,
