• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Hey Terry, great to see you're planning on joining a Huddle. Huddles really are fabulous and rather addictive.

Yes, you'll need a camera as well as audio. It's basically a type of Zoom call (although we use a different platform). The Huddle bookings usually open up on Tuesdays when @Jonny starts a thread here in this part of the forum. Look out for the thread for the 30th. When it opens, you'll have to put your name in the thread.

In order to be able to partake, you'll have to (1) have made at least seven posts in the Colony since joining; (2) have been registered on Litopia for at least seven days; and (3) have uploaded an avatar (picture!).

Check out this link here for more info.

Hope this helps. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask.
Hi Barbara
I followed the link to the new Huddle post for this Saturday and it said I had insufficient privileges to post a comment.
 
You can sign up for Huddles if :
  • you're a Full Member;
  • you've made at least seven posts in the Colony since joining;
  • you've been registered here for at least seven days;
  • and you've uploaded an avatar (picture!)
It's explained here.
 
@Terry Lowell I know you meet all the criteria so it might just be the system hasn’t caught up and registered you now have an avatar. Hopefully will get it resolved. Will keep you posted.
