I think I a lot of us who regularly use the chat rooms which are incredibly helpful and for some can be a lifeline would like some indication of when the rooms will be open again?

Best wishes, Phil

Hi Phil72 and Sars27,

We are working on resolving the issue and finding a new platform we can run the GC chatrooms from.

We will keep you posted on the Forum, hopefully it won't take much longer.

All the best,

Eva

With no animosity I'm sure I'm not the only regular forum user who is frustrated that tomorrow will be two weeks without the rooms to chat in? I'm no computer expert but it does seem a long time to sort out the issue?

Thanks for your feedback.

I will make the forum team leader aware of your comment.

We apologise that the chatroom is unavailable and we appreciate how you value the chatroom and how you'd like you'd like it to be available again as soon as possible.

Take care,

Dear Phil72,

Can I refer you to this thread for our latest statements on the situation.

tara2, when it's up and running, you should be able to use the chat room from the USA. The forum and chatroom is available worldwide, but we're only funded to offer the HelpLine and NetLine within England, Scotland and Wales.

Best wishes

Hello Phil

Our developers still have some work to do - I'm afraid we can't give a timescale right now.

We will keep updating you regularly.

Best wishes
