Test new chat room

[Alex Bragi]

It looks fine to me too, very user friendly. I'm sure it will have the desired effect of attracting more chatters.

You know, I could be right off the mark here, but I think perhaps more people would sign on if the chat room was occasionally more structured. I've noticed, in chat rooms, all too often once the introductions are done many people seem lost what to say/type next, especially if they're new. Where as rooms that have a specific topic to discuss often seem more active and interesting. It doesn't have to be every day. Just once a week - a little icebreaker to get people interested and interacting with others.

Anyway, I look forward to meeting all of you on line at some time in the future.

Alex thats a great idea. Back in the good old days BI the HSX forum on compuserve would have moderated chats on some topic each week. They were immencly popular. HHmm could work here. So I guess the next question is what is the best time for them. We have Europe and Austraila about 12 hours apart with the Americas stuck in between.

As for suggestions on Jinn's new toy there a couple of things I can think of. First is can the user database be conected to the forum database? That way the same user ID, password, avitar and profile work for both. Another has to do with the total lack of smilies in the chatroom. Is it possible to import the great collection of the forum to the chat program? The third is the user interface. Pretty bland and not consistant with look and feel of the site. I know its an open source program but the support section shows several customized UIs so I know it can be done.

Jinn rock on...

The integration of the chat user database with the forum is not a easy task. But I already added more smilies and 3 more user interface (design).

The choice of time will be a tough one. The solution could be find 3 hosts at 3 different regions, Europe, Austraila and America. We will need to get more organized to do this.

I still can't get it to work, anyone got any techy advice? I'm getting the same error message, and I can get into the room, and I can see myself in the users list, but I can't say anything, and I can't see anything anyone says. Help! :help:

The IRC chatroom is still there. I will keep it there until everything is proved working well for the webchat. Then, I will notify the IRC server about the closure of that channel. You are welcome to open a new channel but I will only use the webchat as the official chat place of this site.

If you don't want to be rude, you can always click "logout" before you close the browser.

I don't know what went wrong with your situation. Can you link to the following address?

What kind of browser you are using? I only tested it on Internet Explorer 5.5+ and the newest version of Firefox. If you can get a screen capture of the error you encountered, it may help me to understand your situation.

Tried it, but right now I can only use IRC for larger conversations. Can't use other programs to hold chatrooms. Must be habit. But still trying.

I will attempt to use it in IE to see if it any better.
