Q: How Do I Get Into The Chat Room?
A: Go to the Live Chats home page at the time scheduled for the next chat. There will be a box where you can type in your name. Once you've typed it in, hit the "Connect" button and you will be in the chat!
Q: What Do I Need To Participate In The Event?
A: All you need to join in the chat is a web browser that supports Java. Most web browsers released in the past couple of years support Java. For the best speed and compatibility, Netscape 4.0 or Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows is recommended, as is Internet Explorer 4.5 or later for Macintosh with MRJ 2.1 or later. Once you're sure you have what it takes, come to GothamGazette.com at the time of the event and enjoy the event!
Q: How Do I Ask The Guest A Question?
A: If you have a question that you would like to ask any of our guests, you can submit it before the live chat begins by sending an email to info@gothamgazette.com. You may also choose to ask your question during the event. All questions are submitted to a moderator, who then submits the most broadly-interesting questions to the guest. Due to the volume of submissions, some may be not be used. The moderator may edit questions for length and relevance when necessary, or to remove any offensive language.
Q: Why Doesn't Anything I Type Show Up?
A: Our chat room is moderated, which means that all comments are screened before appearing to the rest of the chat room. We will only be releasing questions that are relevant to the discussion, as mentioned above.
Q: I Missed The Chat? Will There Be A Transcript?
A: Transcripts of our chats are posted on the Chat Transcripts page shortly after each live chat event concludes.
Q: Learn More About DigiChat, Our Live Chat Technology
