LIVE CHAT ROOM (BETA)

[Marshal Halloway]

Howdy!

We upgraded the forum software yesterday and after doing that, I decided to install a chat room that we can try out. To access the chat room and to chat live with fellow forum members, you have to be logged in. Your forum user name and password is the same for the chat room.

On the forum menu (blue buttons above), you can now see a chat button second from left. By clicking the button, a new browser window opens and the chat room will appear in a few seconds.

This section is still in Beta, but feel free to play around with it. I will open up a new sticky thread called Chat Sessions where the 3 M's or you as a member can invite members for a live chat on a specific time and date.

We will add a help section later. Enjoy!

We have some issues with the chat room when using Internet Explorer (as usual  ). Added to the bug list.

It works just fine using Firefox, which btw is the best Internet browser you can use.

Marshall, I wa just in the chat room.  Works great!  One minor glitch I have no idea how to adjust.  My dialogue box or whatever you call it only shows the first line of my message...how do I expand it, or can I?

Thanks,

Richard

Ellis4538,

It is a bug in the software, but it only applies to IE users. Works fine in Firefox. It is on my to do list.

Thanks.  I have been told that IE is a pain and I have found that to be the case but don't have the expertise to upgrade (better browsers are available free I'm told!).

My kids use, and prefer, firefox at home. I am forced by our IT Nazis to use IE at work, and am not allowed to install other software on my work machine. Downside is...its also the laptop I use at home.

That is really too cool, now I'm really never going to get any work done!

Click on the link in Marshal's 2nd post then just follow the instructions. That's what I did anyway. My only question now is should I remove/delete IE ?
