AWT Chat: A New Community Open to Everyone

Today we’re starting up a new forum for readers of Apple World Today. Called AWT Chat, the forum is an open group for discussion of everything about Apple. To encourage you to join the forum, we’re giving away a prize to one of the early participants. All you need to do to enter is to join! Here’s how to do that:

How To Join AWT Chat

To join AWT Chat, point your web browser to https://appleworld.dreamhosters.com/awtchat or click the CHAT button in the menu bar. A screen like this appears:

AWT Chat Registration 

Check the box to agree to receive an email confirmation with a link to set a password, then click the blue REGISTER button. 

The forum software sends an email to you within a minute. If you don’t see it in your main email inbox, check your spam folder as this email sometimes gets tagged as spam.

The email looks similar to this:

When you receive an email like this, click the link (in blue) to set your password

Click the link in the email. This takes you to a page to create and re-enter a password. Do that, and then you’re ready to roll.

Pick areas of interest to you and leave a message, start a discussion or ask a question. That’s it! You can subscribe to topics to see what’s going on in an area you’re interested in.

Initially, posts are moderated by an administrator. Once you have a little experience you have the opportunity to post immediately.

Rules

We don’t want AWT Chat to turn into a typical social media cesspool. The rule? Just be nice. We’re hoping the group will be self-policing.
