This is a very different world my son had to explain it to me

@retiredDep yep it's taken me a while to figure it out. I don't care for the search feature though.

Thank goodness my son plays games on discord

I play FFXI and a lot of people from there are on here but I have no idea where they are!

The ranking thing is confusing though

I don't understand it either.

I joined so I can learn and research more

There is a help desk and if someone is in there they usually have voice and chat so you can learn more there by asking questions and getting help. Great if you want to test our your microphone for clear communications.

I will stop by the help desk in the evenings and try to help get some of you onto the voice capability and then show you how to use this platform and eventually others to help you move up if you are interested in doing more and either spreading the word, researching, educating etc...lots of jobs for everyone.

@TJMolonLabe about Zoom....do you have to log in? Will they be sending out invites? I don't do video or voice but would love to go in there.

@TJMolonLabe Do we get to stay in this discord? I want to learn more so I can help.
I love 24/7 it’s very additive

Zoom is only the app to host the mods on the stream that is how we have voice capable...we all work our way through here to work up

Patriots-text-chat to post links articles

@TJMolonLabe last night Pam said he is going to start bringing the chat in there to be a part of it.

@TJMolonLabe He also talked about since someone was releasing the meeting notes he may start setting up meetings with the chat involved.

@TJMolonLabe He said he has a lot of plans in the thinking process it will just take time as he learns zoom better. He said he sees a lot of features in there.

New here and am thoroughly confused! Haha...

welcome

@ForPeace you can go to the help desk. It takes time to learn this. I was confused too. I think everyone is at first. But welcome!

Lit up channels are new comments added i put my self in AFK voice still trying to figure that one out

Thanks for the welcomes!

@Catz721 if you scroll all the way to the bottom on the left column go in Patriots Soapbox text

You have gained a rank @Powder 💜, you just advanced to 6 . Thanks for all you do Patriot!

@TJMolonLabe - I would like to learn how to do voice - don't know what kind of microphone or speaker you need, only have my laptop, and I am available weekends mostly. Just want to learn. That is why I am in here, and have been posting in the forum as well. Love to hear you.

Thank you @Mee6 !

yeah i am on the Text chat but i still show in AFK for Voice its like their is 2 one for voice and one for Text i just stick my voice in AFK

Now splain what that means Lucy! lol Don't know the point of ranking.

@Catz721 I see where you are if you look above that at patriots soapbox text click on it and you will be out of afk voice.

@HonestGrandma there is a help wanted on the left side you might get a faster response.

@Catz721 now i see you in the voice part the text part is above where you are.

yeah i moved it up i have Text chat highlighted still so i see comments here 1st

i am not really sure where to move the voice too though

i cannot move to the Text part

@Catz721 this is just text.. hmmm is it grayed out? the voice is grayed out for me because I have voice turned off. at the very bottom by you name if you click on mic and headphones to off maybe text chat will light up.

@Catz721 I have microphone off

yeah i can Turn it on but have it Turned off
