Chat

[Lagu]

Hi!

I chould try to chat, but when i tried a message appeared who says following: A user with name Lagu was found in AMD users room with same IP-address as you. What means :?: :?:
Lagu :?

[NeoGen]

I have that same problem. For me I think it's because IE blocked the chat window pop-up. I'm now waiting the necessary time (180 seconds) until it clears me from the table and I can try again, this time with pop-ups allowed from this site.

[Empty_5oul]

i have never got it to work, though i believe jeff and bruce did when testing it.

[Empty_5oul]

make sure pop ups are allowed and it works first time.

[AMDave]

EXCELLENT CHAT ... well until I broke it :(

oops

Thanks for following that up Jeff.
Let me know if I can help.
I will scout for alternatives.

arrivederci

Yes, but I tried to chat but they where all "talking" at the same time!
It should be between two eyes not in a chaos; this chat room is not perfect. I am sure that messenger and ICQ is better. Too many peoples are peaking simultaneous and have you not the same as other to talk about has you nothing to do there. :!: :cry:

[gamer007]

Before joining, make sure you turn off or allow the site your pop-up blocker [if you have one]. Or else you would get the error as stated on the 1st post.

[meckano]

Nope, still getting message.
Actually, seems ok, click on Amd link at top and no error, just no chat window.
tried turning it all off.
What is it? java? or ....?

[gamer007]

What browser are you using? IE? Firefox?

With Firefox, a little yellow thing should show up saying a pop-up has been blocked. Click on the button on the right(i think) and allow popups from amdusers.com

[NeoGen]

What browser are you using? IE has a built in popup blocker... I had to disable mine in order to get in...

[meckano]

I had no bar at top, but i know the bar is working.
I disabled pop-up blocks in internet tools, ie6xxx,
I disabled privacy in firewall.
Don't know what else to check.
amd is not a blocked website anywhere.

:(

[meckano]

I think it's logging me in too early.
I click on let's go and that is where i get the problem now.

[meckano]

Well it's not an IE6xxx thing, firefox doesn't work either for chat.

[Empty_5oul]

i has that problem with the google toolbar blocking part of it though the actual box appeared it was always white and empty - as if it only partially worked blocking the content but not the box:?

[meckano]

Ok, chat working now for me.
I had to right click one of the bars at top of Internet Explorer and view web assistant, Norton by the look of the icon, and allow pop-ups at this site; Although as far as I'm concerned, I did that directly in the Norton Interface. Odd!!!

I also tried these things first, which did nothing:
- IE: Tools | Internet Options | Privacy tab, Uncheck 'block pop-ups'
- IE: Tools | Internet Options | Privacy tab, Sites button, and add+allow this site.(but it was never shown in the list.) Odd!!!

Have a good one :)

[meckano]

And since I did the above post's info to IE,
I now get the bar in Firefox. rrrrr whatever lol
Edit2:
- OK, working now, but have to go back a second time after the 180 seconds.
-- the first time there let me deal with the pop-ups not being allowed.

[Empty_5oul]

gd gd,

jeff just wondering if there is an update for it, the current verison is fairly primitive.

[meckano]

Their site for software:
http://www.webdev.ro/

What it is:
WebChat is an chat application for JavaScript
compatible web browsers made in PHP.

[gamer007]

Great, just great. I can log in, but I cannot see the chat bar! It shows up in code!

EDIT: This was with firefox, I can get in with IE.

[meckano]

we're trying to get you help gamer007 :)

[meckano]

we might be found chatting here:
http://amdusers.com/cgi-sys/mchat.cgi?channel=amdusers.com

Once there, click on the finger button to see who is in the room.
I saw someone come and type test.
:D

[meckano]

Actually, we decided to go here now:
http://amdusers.com/chat/phpMyChat.php3
you have to register, then choose default room, and chat :)

[Empty_5oul]

guess just use IE for now if you cant get firefox to work and try it again later when we have more knowledge about it.

[NeoGen]

I miss our little chatroom... :-(

[meckano]

:-(

[meckano]

Maybe try this for old room, let me know if it works.
I am there now. :)
http://www.amdusers.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=SPChat&file=chat&rid=3&first=1

Edit:
Nope, doesn't work, I'm not there any more, and it's all messed up for me :))

See you in one of the other two rooms.

[AMDave]

I used to have problems similar to meckano when I was using Firefox 1.0PR and 1.0
But the upgrade to Firefox 1.0.1 (which included an important security fix) fixed a number of issues.
I strongly recommend this upgrade. I no longer have any of those PHP error messages or rendering missalignments. Its great.

Just a side note - I have found only 1 page that I have needed to use in the last 3 months that needed IE (5.5 or above) specifically to run the information entry forms. Firefox is now my default browser and I am loving every minute of it. I only keep IE on the drive for those times when I absolutely have to use it. But that means, even though I may not be using it, I must keep the security patches up to date. I must point this out to any of you who have done the same. If IE is still on your machine, it is still a security risk that must be managed appropriately as though you are still using it every day.

[meckano]

Hiya amdave, so, are ya high-speed?
all running smooth?
:)

[AMDave]

Yes, but I tried to chat but they where all "talking" at the same time!


Yes Lagu. This is a problem with chat rooms.
I was on a Yahoo chat with many many programmers one day.
They were posting messages 150 times per minute.
It was impossible to understand who was talking to who.
This happens with smaller group also.
This is why Forums posts like ours and a person-to-person chat in Messenger or ICQ are better as you say.

[AMDave]

MMMMMmmmmmmmm, YEP.
I got me a PIPE !
Ain't smoked it yet tho'
LOL

[AMDave]

I have to get rid of the first line of my SIG now !

[AMDave]

There. Just a tweak.

[NeoGen]

For my ex-fellow modem users out there - I still remember:
This sig has been expertly tuned for top speed on low-bandwidth. :)


LOL :lol: :lol:

[Beerknurd]

what's your speed???

[NeoGen]

Whatever it is, it's fast enough for now. :)


And will we have a new chatroom back soon? Even with all the problems that one had, I was liking it. :lol:

[Empty_5oul]

neo you could try downloading yahoo messenger, at least 10 members have it.

when we were in the chatroom i see you were doing/trying some irc things - i think you can cross-message from that into other messengers e.g ICQ, MSN, yahoo etc.

[meckano]

These are two we tried yesterday,
and I still check for you all there, once in a while. :)

what's your speed???

Lagu :cool:

[Empty_5oul]

dave is that unlimited or do you have restrictions on it.
