In explanation, the old live thread was pulling too much power, even tho I got a server with a lot of it. My options were to pay double for more power, or go to a live chat window for about a fourth of the price.
The server people shut down our live capacity, so I had to go outside of that for a live chat capacity. This all happened this morning, so I am still reading the instruction manual.
To make it easier for everyone, sign in as a guest, and to open the window after entering the room, hit the third icon from the left that looks like a little window. That will enlarge the screen you see and give you a bigger overview in it's own separate window. You can still upload videos and pics, so that is still available to you on this.
More as I get deeper into the manual about avatars and such. We had to move quick to get this set up. Thanks for your patience as I get this tweaked!
