Thanks for the feedback, folks. I'm sorry that it's not working for some of you. Please give me as much information as possible, and I'll try to solve these problems. My monitor failed yesterday, and I'm relegated to one that barely works until Friday, so I might not get much done until then.

Thanks,
Jeff

I have gone to look for myself
If I come back
Before I return
Please ask me to wait....."

I think I solved the problem of the chat window not fitting on low-res screens. You should also be able to resize the window, now.

Also, some people might be having problems if using a pop-up eliminator, particularly if closing the window without clicking the "Logoff" botton. In any case, it's best to use the "Logoff" button when you leave MudChat.

Log off button? Can't see a log off button. I've tried several times this morning with mixed results. Once I could see the bottom window to type in but nothing else in the large dialog box. MMario was the only other person in the room at the time. Did you seem the message I typed, Mario? Usually I can see the names of the people in chat, the menu to choose rooms, but nothing else shows up. This is still on the iMac with Netscape.

There's a Log Out button in the menu that comes up when you click on Quick Links,

OK, this is what I've experienced on the iMac. Netscape doesn't work but my Explorer 5 browser for Macintosh does work... I just had to re-set my Mudcat cookie. It would be great to have the re-set cookie link on the quicklinks pulldown menu where it used to be. I finally went to the Membership sign up to re-set and then the chat room worked fine. Started a new room called Folk, talked to Bill D, Barbara, Mark Clark and others, and visualized the virtual 24/7 Mudcat Tavern will be a room in Mudchat along with the village pub, the Mudcat ship, the campfire (and of course all the village idiots - ha!).


Thanks to Jeff, Max and all.

I had a few minor problems yesterday. Some of my messages didn't appear on my screen but apperently were visible to others and shortly after I got kicked out and had to log back in.

Well I tried it today... and nutty and Jeanie and Bagpuss plus Trevor... were either sending me to Conventry... or just could get all my hellos I typed in... or I couldn't see their replies...

sigh....

(Or it could be because I have an Apple Mac???

Seems to work fine, except that the buttons at the bottom are almost totally obscured by IE's bottom bar.

I'm on an Apple Mac, running INternet explorer 4.5 (this may be the problem? - I'm awaiting new software from work....) and I can see everyone's names, and I can even type a message.

Alice tells me she can see my message (thank you Alice - and I can see it too). But I can't actually see any replies to it.

I do get a message saying I'm not logged on to the chat, but then my name appears in the chat list...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

E, I use a Mac, also, and have Internet Explorer 5 for Macintosh, a free version I think, and it works with the chat room (when things don't freeze or disconnect).

Somebody more knowledgable than me should be able to help you better but I wonder if, when you last left the chatroom, you used the X in the top right rather than the "log off" at the bottom. I think I had the same problem for the same reason yesterday.
I can tell you that your messages were visible and we did reply to you.

In a previous message I said it would be nice to have reset cookie on Quick Links, then today realized it is there, just with the new label of "log in" instead of "reset cookie".
