Channel PIN issues, how to preview and join, PINs not usable / tappable / searchable, BBM help site
See here:
Join a BBM channel - User Guide - BBM - 10.2
The clue lies in the line:
"Tip: If you copy the channel PIN into another app, people with BBM can preview or join the channel."

See my comment on the MWC14 article by CB Kevin:
They do. Work. With a workaround. Still haven't found where to simply enter a Channel PIN In BBM to preview and join in a simple way. Anyone more info on that? BB help on the website sheds no light on that.
The Channel PINs are not tappable in the BB10 browser nor show up when using the search box in BBM (entering the PIN in the search box will yield no result, just words and names will). Hope that gets addressed. Guys, let the BBM team know.
Workaround:
Android Central - C0020FBEA
CrackBerry - C00012B19
iMore - C001515A0
WPCentral - C0048A83E
Smartwatch Fans - C00476F97
Paste that into an SMS and send it to yourself or a friend, and suddenly the Channel PINs become clickable / tappable.
Even if you try to post it in the CB app, it becomes clickable / tappable before you hit post. When posted, it seems unusable again.
Blackberry needs to make Channels searchable and findable by Channel PIN. Doesn't seem to be the case yet. Urgently needed, or Channels won't take of anytime soon.
iPhone for me? Scr... ahem Q that! (posted from the latter)
