Chatting In #bushcraftUK
Congratulations, you should now be in the channel with the rest of us.
To chat, simply type in the bottom area and hit return.
Users are displayed on the right column, we try to keep the same names as we use in the forum, but some names have already been taken (example, Tony is "BCUK" in the channel)
Users with the "@" infront of their name are "operators" and have more control over the channel than standard users.
If you double click on someone you can start a "query" chat, which is just a private chat between you.
nb. "@L" is a bot program and not a real user, it will not reply to your questions :)

That should be it.....
If there's any problems then PM me in here and i'll try hep you out.
Even if you spot any errors or have any ideas on how to make this simplier.
Good luck!
Cheers
