As many of the members know, I started a yahoo group in June of last year and right now we have 96 members.<br />We were up over a 100 but some have went by the wayside.<br /><br />But anyhow, the reason for the post is to let any new members know about the group and if interested, then you can go here,<br /> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iboatsmembers/ <br />and join up if you wish.<br /><br />Another reason for the post is just what the subject says.<br />Every Wednesday night starting at 7PM EST. we will have a trivia night.<br /><br />Now before I get to the how and what's, let me say that some of the members have been having trouble with the yahoo chat room so I made another chat site for us to use.<br /><br />You can find it here.<br /> http://mypeoplepc.com/members/grizzlybear310/iboats/ <br />No special anything to download, just enter your nic in the box and enter the room.<br /><br />If it don't want to work the first time and you use a pop up blocker, just hold down your ctrl button while you enter.<br /><br />Now I wish the members would use the name they use on here if you would.<br /><br />This is how it will work.<br />At 7 sharp, I will post the first question.<br />You then have 2 minutes to post your answer.<br /><br />After that 2 minutes is up, a new question will be posted.<br /><br />There will be 10 questions all together.<br /><br />These questions will have to do with boating and fishing only.<br /><br />I will and have asked one of my members to provide the questions and answers.<br />None of them will be mine.<br /><br />I have also asked my 2 mods to help out in keeping score as to who answers what etc.<br /><br />Let it be clear, that it is who answers with the right answer first that will be declared the correct answer.<br /><br />I have nothing to give the winner as of yet, but maybe someone(hint, hint) would not care to throw something in for the prize.<br />Nothing big, just a little something.<br /><br />The winner will be the one that answers the most questions right, first.<br /><br />If after the 10 questions are asked and answered, we have a tie, I will ask a tiebreaker question to decide the winner.<br /><br />It will be fun so come one, come all.<br />Will see you there.<br /><br />Any questions, please feel free to ask.<br /><br />Also mods, if it would be alright, I would like to post this in some of the other forums.<br />Let me know please.

Aldo, when you get there and that happens, just refresh the page and it will work.

I tried to go there and it let me enter the chat room but when I typed something in the box I couldn't get it to send it. I know I'm married to a blonde but what the heck am I doing wrong?

Re: Chat trivia

I just tried it and it seems to be working. When I type something and hit return it puts my comment on the screen. I'd try Wed. but I've got a game to watch and I'm going to the daughter/son-in-laws. Any other times I can try this week?

Yea Mr. LF, that's the way it works.<br />You type something in and hit return and it puts it up on the chat screen.<br /><br />Well, sorry you can't make it this week, but maybe next week.
