Once you have logged on, chose the float button to have full view of the chat window. The float button is located at the top of the chat window. There is also another button called, Surf. When ever someone types in a full Internet address, you can press the surf button. The Internet address will appear in a separate window, without affecting your chat window. You can check out the site while the chat continues or you can bookmark the site for later viewing. Never be afraid to ask a question in the senior health chat room!
