Questions and answers

No one is helping me in chat.

Although Computer Hope operators may be logged in, at this time we cannot always guarantee responses at all times of the day. If agents are available to help, you will see an image displaying text indicating agents are available. If you're unable to get a hold of someone, try the other suggestions in our online help section.

Help, I've been banned.

If you've been banned from the Computer Hope chat room for disobeying rules or misbehaving, that ban will not be removed. If however the ban was a mistake, when reviewed in the log, it will be removed. If you want to hasten the speed of the ban removal, contact our webmasters.

Who is computerhope and hopebot?

Computerhope, aka Nathan, is a human and owner of the channel. Although he may be logged in, he's unable to attend to chat 24/7. Additional information about hopebot can be found on our hopebot definition.

Why wont the volunteers help me?

All the volunteers in the chat and on the forums are volunteering their time to help others on the Internet. Because they are volunteers, they have a right to answer the questions they decide to. If a volunteer chooses not to help you with your question, you may choose to contact Computer Hope directly, which may not be as fast, but we do try answering all questions. Computer test questions or homework help are both good examples of questions most volunteers do not enjoy answering.
