    Hello. I'm sorry that you had difficulty using the chat rooms. I can't see a particular problem with the server. Can you confirm that you aren't using a mobile device as these aren't yet supported for the chat rooms? Thanks

    Hello @MissJennyNg - This website has group video chatrooms (up to 4 people per room - but users can create as many new rooms as you like) - just click on the "BSL Chat Rooms" menu button at the top of this page

    Hello @Pam - Welcome to Sign Language Forum! I've moved this post into the "What is the BSL sign for __________ ? " thread as it is better suited there - I hope that's ok. I hope you find this site useful.

    We have pushed out a few updates to the Fingerspelling Challenge over the past few days. The latest update should deal with issues relating to mobile devices that had issues viewing the game without the keyboard covering it up. If you are still having difficulties accessing the game correctly using your device please post a message here with details of which device you are using and we will take a look.

    A great feature that we have recently added is the ability to record a video into your post directly from your webcam or mobile device - and it's really easy! All you need to do is click on the red icon on the right hand side of the toolbar when you are writing your post.

    Hello Jessica, Yes, the entire course is online. We welcome people of all ages though we would suggest anyone under 10 should complete it with the help of an adult. You can find out more about the course here: http://www.british-sign.co.uk/learn-online-british-sign-language-course/

    People who use or are learning BSL often choose a sign name that others can use to refer to them instead of using fingerspelling. This is often a sign that is linked to your hobby, job, or a personal characteristic. What is your sign name? – Record a video here and let us know.

    Well done to Firefighter Paul Maddocks who completed the online course at http://www.british-sign.co.uk and has been putting his new BSL skills into practice. Great work. Read the full story here: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/local-news/widnes-firefighter-put-sign-language-10547925

    Thanks a lot for your feedback. As this is a new website we are really glad to hear what you think – I have made a new area especially for this and given it a 2 minute recording limit: BSL Practice Area Enjoy.

    Well done @becmeachin – great work ? Do you think it would be handy to have a section in these forums for longer clips? Perhaps 1 minute where you can practice this kind of description or story without being restricted to 30 secs?
  21. Simon (admin)
    Let us know if you have any issues with it (you can record from your mobile device too) ?
  22. Simon (admin)
    Welcome, thanks for joining! If you would like to practice your signing and allow others to give you feedback then remember that you can record directly into a post by pressing the red button on the reply panel when you are posting in a forum. We hope you enjoy this new site as it grows.
