If this keeps up i'll look to schedule some events and get some big names in the chat room.

One thing I don't like about the chat is that your message can only be one line long! I tried chatting a bit and a couple of times I couldn't finish typing my message because it didn't allow me to enter a message more than one line long.

Eric,

That's a limitation of the current implementation of the chat. We are currently using a trial version of the chat software to test without incuring charges. If the services proves popular over a period of time we'll move to an upgraded service.

In the meantime you'll need to post your messages in several chunks

I set the security to the default and downloaded the java software. Now its works...

Thanks Loopy and Stephan..

Why don't you use CGIIRC?

It is free, it does not need java, and it is based on the powerfull irc network.

for more info have a look at
http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/

Stefan,

We looked at several solutions and this one was the one we thought best suited to what we required.

Cheers!

Is there any way for you guys to post a list of the people currently in the chat somewhere on the forum page? Like maybe where you click to go into it - that way you know if there's anyone around?

neshamah · #26 December 12th, 2003

That's a good idea- I hope more people joint the chat -if you have nothing to say just say hello to some...

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but it is starting to drive me off the wall...

Whenever I want to check out the chatroom, I have to clear all my cookies and then proceed with the login screen. Every time. That is not too bad however, as long as it works I can live with that. What is more strange is that as soon as the login is complete and I am taken to the chatroom, the browser loads for about a second and then displays nothing. I am staring at a blank screen of nothing. The browser (Internet Explorer) is working fine, but nothing is displayed in the browser window. I try click "reload" and the screen reloads with the same result.

Sometimes I click and it works. I can read at the bottom of IE "opening...bla... height400widht600..bla bla..." and a couple of seconds later I am in the chatroom with everything working as normal. But this only happens sometimes (after logging out and in, in and out...). Usually I am looking at a blank screen.

Anyone else suffering from the same problem?

I am using IE 6.0 with no updates and latest java installed. OS is Win98SE. Not other problems at all, the forums works fine. It's just the chat.

Any input greatly appreciated.

Im just waiting for more people enter the chat..I don't know what is happenig. with the other freediver maybe "Estan en competencia ??

saludos

Stephan Whelan · #29 December 23rd, 2003

Tommy,

Regarding the cookies - Do you log out of the chat room or do you just browse back to the forums? We encountered a similar thing initially but very few users have reported it (only 3 so far, including myself), and closing down the browser, clearing all cookies and starting a new browser session has solved the issue.

As far as the blank screeen. Remember that the chat application is Java, and Java needs to download the small applet every time it runs the chat application, so there will be a small delay in loading the page...

Neshamah,

Give it time, I normally log on several times a day and always find at least 2 or 3 other people in the chat. Sometimes waiting for 10 minutes or so helps.

Thanks!

We're working on it, however the chat and forums work on two very different systems so it's difficult to integrate.

Cheers!
