@monicakm @If you hit Community Chat and wait about thirty to sixty seconds it does appear on the screen

Takes me about 1.5-2 minutes to get in.

This is pretty ridiculous in 2025.

But there's really not much new being posted. The "action", such as it is, exists mainly in About Friends and Q Talk.

I tried going there and cant get in .

And a long, long time ago, this was all called Shop Talk and even had a chat room.

@gidgetgh That was when I first started posting here. If I recall, and that is iffy, I don't remember having all of the sub boards like we do now. It was just shop talk? That was several decades ago. People were mostly civil and got along well. We didn't have several mods at that time either. Didn't need them. They were kinder times.

The other day when I clicked on Community Chat the tab at the top of my laptop page said Among Friends. Today when I clicked on Community Chat it says Community Chat & Among Friends. It seems to change every day but it kind of looks like they're going to ultimately combine both since people seem to be using them interchangably. I never understood the difference myself but I've only been here a year or two so maybe things were different before my time.

@cody2 - yeah. We didn't have all these sub categories.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Thanks @Goflorida. I've tried that and it didn't work for me. There really doesn't seem to be any difference, that I can tell.

Looks like CC isn't coming back. What was the difference between it and Among Friends?

Community Chat is NOT gone. It just takes a minute or so for it to load. There are many posts from today, so people are accessing it and still posting there. Patience...

I remember that posters would request sub-topics and the Q accommodated those requests.

But "Among Friends" and "Community Chat" seem quite similar so I didn't understand why there were two.

Community Chat & Among Friends is the title of this thread not a category.

I think you may have been on a different thread/category when you clicked Community Chat. Since it takes about a minute for CC to load, you were still on your prior thread/category while waiting for CC to load and that's why you saw what you did.
