Cheeze, I wasn't there but I think what you're talking about is the multiple rooms. When you enter the chat room you enter the Lounge. Chat is usually held in one of the BAMA rooms. To enter the room just look to the top of your page in your "browser" and pull down the room you want.
This has caused some confusion. Like I said, I wasn't in there myself, but that sounds like what you're talking about.
Enter chat and then select the room you want to enter.
