New Chat Room

[Gregg]

Guys, this is the new software.

I will be working out the bugs.

I want it to automatically log you in if you are logged into forum.

Right now, no can do.

Chat Room

[Gregg]

Right now, the chat room is not linked/synced to your forum log in.

I will work on that

it is a pain

but, it's working

Art Anderson was the first person to enter the new chat room, and he won the grand prize!!!!

[Gregg]

The chat room is pretty cool

In order to use the Private Chat, each person has to be logged in, not as a Guest, but with a screen name and password, and it asks for your email address.

Now, when I get the Chat Room synced to the forum and the new site, it will be automatic.

[PatRedmond]

Logged me in automatically this morning. Cool.

Let's see how many we can pile into it now.

[Gregg]

I repeat, the Chat Room is not automatically linked to your forum log in.

It may take it, based on your cookies, but it is not set up to do that automatically.

You will have to type in your Log In Name, and if you keep it the same as your forum screen/log in name, it will help both of my two remaining brain cells happy that they don't have to be overworked to try and remember who is who.

Thanks.

i tried registering and i kept getting an error. special characters not allowed.

wasnt using any though

[Jordan White]

Yeah I was getting an "incorrect login", and I tried both my site login as well as my username here. No dice. So guest it is!

[Guest Johnny]

Worked fine for me! Just entered my site name and right in!

I don't really use chat rooms because my H&P skills are too slow! By the time I respond they are already on the next subject!

[B_rad88]

so we have to register to sign in? i tried as a guest it worked, but i guess i should register too? oh well, i'll just do that anyways. this is cool gregg, awsome job!

[Gregg]

You can log in as a Guest, but you can't access Private Chat (to other members).

The registration does not involve receiving an email validation, it just logs you and your email and IP, that's all.

You can make up anything you want, or use your Forum name.

[B_rad88]

[B_rad88]

[MrObsessive]

Just checked it out Gregg................looks terrific!

[PatRedmond]

Highest number i've seen is 14 chatters with no problems so far.

[Railfreak78]

Gregg the chat works great! I told Pat that the only thing I would change is the fact that you can not scroll up. Years ago I was on Global Communications Network which was all chat rooms. Once you get a large group going it is very easy for a slow typing person or someone with multiple convo's to loose where they are. If they can scroll up they can see what they missed. Other than that it is working very well and I love the suttle MCM logo hidden in the background. Thanks for bringing it back!

Try turning off Auto Scrol on bottom

Nope that doesn't work. If you didn't quite understand what he meant, he's saying that the software only keeps so many lines of the conversation available to scroll up and down to look at. However, there is a button above the reply box (with a hand holding a pen) that opens up a new tab/window and gives a transcript of the entire conversation since you've signed in.

[PatRedmond]

Nope.

[Nick Notarangelo]

Im in now and no maid service or wet bar

[Gregg]

Okay, now there are two Chat Rooms.

One on the original first post, and another integrated here into the Forum.

If you look above, at the header menu bar, there is a "Chat" link.

This is the software from the forum software company.

It can take up to 50 online users.

Harry and I think that should be okay.

the other Chat Room, is unlimited, and you can do private one-on-one chats, so may want to use both.

Enjoy, and let me know if any problems.

Gregg,

I tried using the chat room through the link at the top of the main web page but I can't see what I'm typing and I can only post a message if I select an emicon first...

Suggestions?
