Information from our Administrator:
We are currently testing out a new Chatroom which can be accessed through the Member Menus when you log into the site (left hand set of menus). When you click the BHC Chat link, you'll be taken to a new page, and you will have to RE-login to the Chatroom, but that's for your safety so, though I know it's inconvenient, it's better security.
There are TONS of bells and whistles, and you can change everything--even the background if you like--but please for those of our members who are a bit computer-phobic, remember you canNOT break this! Just feel free to play with it--there are 3 new chatrooms and hopefully this will be a good chance for BHC descendants and researchers to meet up with each other and just get to know everyone. Eventually we are hoping to use the chatroom for Live Meetings with experts and speakers, but that depends on how you all like the system. There is NOT a FAQ or help yet for the chatroom, but it's being worked on, so if you have questions, write our Help & Support and they'll be happy to help you.
Also in our Member Menu is something I've wanted to add for a long time--there is a new Sending Agency Database, which, eventually will contain the name, history and current address for records (if one exists) of all the sending agencies. At this moment, we have only about 20 agencies listed, but that, like our BHC database, is a collaborative effort, so feel free to add a Sending Agency if you don't see the one your BHC was associated with--the basic instructions are within the database. Like with the Chatroom, the FAQ is currently being worked up, so bear with us until that's up in the Help section.
