When I got to the room the 2 Mikes were there. so I thzink if you're on your own, then you're just on your own. You don't need any groups. This must be "our" chatroom.

I had the same problem as Diana, and gave up in the end.  Tried several different names and passwords, but got failure messages all the time.  Either "bad letters", "too long", or "too short".  Will try again later today.

Post by: Michael Alexander on June 25, 2008, 06:06:46 AM
Sorry, I went to bed, after having a fight with my PC, your browser might try and prevent the chat window from opening... I will be tinkering with this again today sometime and will let you all know whats going on...

Title: Re: LIVE CHAT (Testing)
Post by: georg ruf jr. on June 25, 2008, 06:32:19 AM
If you write something i the bottom left rectangle , press enter. You'll see your entry in the actual chat window. Press on your name and you can change it....
Title: Re: LIVE CHAT (Testing)
Post by: georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP) on June 25, 2008, 07:15:28 AM
That site is not available at the moment, i try later again.

@ Mike: The way i see it, its an open to all chat box, methinks not what you want. There is other chat boxes available that could go as a permanent box just for us O-munders
Title: Re: LIVE CHAT (Testing)
Post by: Michael Alexander on June 25, 2008, 08:46:26 AM
I agree Georg, the problem is, the "mods" available to enable live chat for the forum, all work on the latest version of the forum software, and it is quite an effort to upgrade the forum at this stage..... I will have a bit more free time this afternoon, will play around then....
Title: Re: LIVE CHAT (Testing)
Post by: Diana Rudd (Boehme) on June 25, 2008, 09:52:50 AM
Mike *I get the chat window but can't register my name "Bad Letters"
Title: Re: LIVE CHAT (Testing)
Post by: Michael Alexander on June 25, 2008, 09:57:56 AM
I think at this stage, i will put this plan on a backburner....
Title: Re: LIVE CHAT (Testing)

I tried yesterday, could not get acces nor a chat line to type in

Title: Re: LIVE CHAT (Testing)
Post by: Michael Alexander on June 26, 2008, 12:10:27 PM
I CAN see dalene, Jnr and Barbara's name , still on that chat from last night.... register a name first...
Title: Re: LIVE CHAT (Testing)
Post by: georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP) on June 26, 2008, 12:17:20 PM
That is not many !!!!

I have registerd, i have logged in, i never see a chat Box.......

I see lots of groups that i can acces

No one explained what is supposed to show up ?????

I just dont like that thing LOL

After all, what are we looking for

I have MSN
Yahaoo
AIM
WIN
WIN LIVE
Skype
AOL

Chats in many other froums i.e. in CT
Switzerland
Germany Chat
AOL Chat

I keep a list of all the nicks and Passwords......

You name it i´ve got it, but that board is strange to me.....

It says direct X prevents this and that.

All my Internet Options are set to allow direct X

So if my PC has problems many others will also have it

Post by: Michael Alexander on June 26, 2008, 12:19:01 PM

Georg, what browser? try firefox bitte?

Title: Re: LIVE CHAT (Testing)
Post by: georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP) on June 26, 2008, 12:54:41 PM
OK Mike, if it works like that with all, you can use that, exept i can not which is OK.

The reason why all yours work is unknown or you could tell me

Mine has something to do with my settings which i have checked.

We all use different operating systems, so little use to share info ....

I checked all my settings, can not see anything wrong
Title: Re: LIVE CHAT (Testing)
Post by: Tamara Hogan on June 26, 2008, 12:55:13 PM

Title: Re: LIVE CHAT (Testing)
Post by: georg ruf jr. on June 26, 2008, 01:22:43 PM
Maybe you guys need an update on flash player. That's what my server won't do. Probably the reason it's not working here. And then... Whatr do we need flash player for chats???
Title: Re: LIVE CHAT (Testing)
Post by: Michael Alexander on June 26, 2008, 01:50:09 PM
I figured this out... 2 things prevent this from working, your firewall must allow the application to work and you must first vlear your browsers cache.... Michele had the problem, so i did the above things and we connected...

Post by: Michael Alexander on June 26, 2008, 03:04:52 PM
Aaagh! Well it was nice to play around with, but I agree with Georg, it will cause too much problems, so we will just communicate the old fashioned way..... cheers!
