BeBop Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 Just noticed a new button up at the top of the screen. Quote
BeBop Posted November 23, 2005 Author Report Posted November 23, 2005 It's the new thing! Hardly new. The porno sites have had chat rooms for years. Quote
couw Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 It's crazy in there. it's big fun, but how does it all work? Can you set up rooms yourself so you can go into seclusion and discuss stuff seriously and without all the fowl? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 Yes you can. I'm not sure how you invite people once the room is setup, however. The name of the software is ParaChat and I'm sure they have a manual on their website. Quote
JSngry Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 Downloaded/installed (probably redundantly) all the Java stuff, rebooted/etc. and get: Exception: javs.lang.NullPointerException followed by Laoding Java Applet Failed Any ideas? Quote
7/4 Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 Downloaded/installed (probably redundantly) all the Java stuff, rebooted/etc. and get: Exception: javs.lang.NullPointerException followed by Laoding Java Applet Failed Any ideas? Maybe it's your browser? I'm using Firefox and it works. Quote
Daniel A Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 I tried to install the stuff from Sun Microsystems as well (Microsoft is no longer offering the software, despite the link on the "Live Chat" page). The installation crashed, but then the chat function appears to be working nevertheless. I just enetered the chat room, and - guess what - noone else there! Quote
Peter Johnson Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 Anyone running on a mac get it to work? I tried with Opera, Safari, and even (gasp) IE, no luck... Quote
7/4 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 I think all that energy expended in the chat room could be directed in more posts to the forum. But that's just me. Couw? Brownie? Chuck? Ping ping ping... Quote
Guest Chaney Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 Thay type of 'energy' (ritalin, anyone?) is best left to dissipate in that type of live chat environment. ~~~~~~~~~~ Here's an idea: If anyone's misbehaving, they're temporarily banned from the board and are sequestered in their very own live chat room. Good place to take a time out. Quote
DukeCity Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 Anyone running on a mac get it to work? I tried with Opera, Safari, and even (gasp) IE, no luck... I chatted for a while this afternoon on my Mac running Safari. Seemed to work fine. Takes several seconds for the java thing to work itself out and start running, then it was fine. Quote
Peter Johnson Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 Huh, weird... I just get a blank box. It works fine from work ( ) just fine. ChrisA mentioned updating Java, but I'm not sure how to do that. Help! Anyone running on a mac get it to work? I tried with Opera, Safari, and even (gasp) IE, no luck...

randissimo Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) Earlier there was a window for the chatroom down by the users list between birthdays & board staitics, listing who was in there. Now it's disappeared from the forums. How dio I get that feature back? Edited November 24, 2005 by randissimo Quote
Aggie87 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 As best I can tell, if nobody is in the Chat area, that listing at the bottom goes away. Quote
randissimo Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 As best I can tell, if nobody is in the Chat area, that listing at the bottom goes away. Hmmm .. I went in the chatroom, minimized the window and went to the forums to see if the chatroom was there and it wasn't even though I was in there .. Quote

If you were in there, how could you have been out here? cuz over there you are not here, nor here there... did you refresh, while you weren't here? Quote
J.A.W. Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 If you were in there, how could you have been out here? cuz over there you are not here, nor here there... That's a very existential question... Quote

That's a very existential question... That's just what I ask myself every day! Maybe we should open a separate Existentialist chat room. Problem is, once you went in, there'd be no exit. Quote

mikeweil Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 I use Opera, had to wait a while due to my modem connection, but everything worked fine. Quote
