Hello. I apologize for the confusion. The subroutine to the announcement program I wrote that filters out such announcements had a bug, which is fixed right now. Until someone proves me wrong again, no one should be able to announce the chat session in the time period less that 23 hours from the time of announcement. You are all welcome to try - only make sure that all forum name check boxes at the end of the form are cleared, so no actual message would be originated. Also, please note that the URL for chat and announcement pages have changed. Please see the correct URLs below. - IPC Chat Room can be accessed at http://jefry.ipc.org/IPCchat/IPCchat.html or through the "IPC On-Line Services" link from IPC's homepage at http://www.ipc.org. - You can announce your chat session using the form on the IPC Chat Page under the link "Announce your own chat session" Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
