Yes, it does appear to be up. . . . but no one is ever there!!! What's up with that?

I'm sure that this is a seriously stupid question, but where do I type in my messages in the chat room? There are no boxes or anything. 'Course there's only me there just now, but how's it done? Hwyl, Bron.

Llanfair, just had a look and you're not there now. Maybe I'll get to you meet you there one day or perhaps even better, if either the Conwy thing or the UK Gathering happen, I might even meet you in person.

Llanfair, there is a small rectangle at the bottome of the chat screen, you type in there and press enter..... what you have written will move up into the chat box.

Having been "away" for a while, I don't remember how to access the chat room.....icq#?? link??? Tried "Prototype Chat" with no luck....

Jon, I'm certain we will meet soon, cyber or for real. Alison, that's the point, there is no little box on my screen. I've tried moving the whole thing up, but it won't. Ideas, please? Hwyl, Bron.

LLanfair - this may sound dumb but you do realise, I hope, that you have to click on "enter the chat room" n order to access the "speak" boxes? I spoke with Jon in the chat room last night and it was working fine.....

From: Melbert

I didn't express that very well .... you need to click on the words "click here to enter".

I have tried to access the chat room every time I visit. All I ever get to after click here to enter, is a grey box

Melbert, The chat might even work better for me now! I have just bought a new keyboard - hopefully it will put an end to some of my horrendous typos... Even if it doesn't it's an excuse gone for me.

The chat room requires your browser be Java4 compatible, so Netscape 4.5 (or above) or MS explorer 4.x or above, and you also cannot be behind a firewall.....

the "gray box" is what I get when I am at work....

Patrish, I got a gray box also until I upgraded my Netscape. The older version had problems reading JAVA. This might, maybe, possibly be the your problem as well.

Ha!!! I've sussed it!, using the outer, right hand, scroll bar, I moved the whole thing up, and there was the box!!!!Be talking to you soon! Hwyl, Bron.

I just got in! But I am not speaking to me, so I left.*bg*

Sometimes it takes a good while for the gray box to metamorphose into the yellow chat box.

I know why I get a grey box now, I am behind a firewall - I really must get hooked up at home. There now, a new years resolution. Could that be the beginning of a new thread?

kind regards

I've got it open at the moment, there appears to be someone called 'willie-o' there but he/she's silent, 'poet' came & went while I wasn't looking - could it be possible to make it 'ping' when someone enters so that one can keep it minimised while looking at the threads? I managed to say hello but another line I typed didn't come up in the box...

Looks to me that it is down again.

you can put whatever you "want to do" into the do box... it will put your name in front

eg. if I typed "gives everyone a big hug" in the "do" box, and hit enter... it will say "alison gives everyone a big hug.

I agree with it needing a "doorbell" to let you know if someone comes in while you are off reading the threads, or one of those "sleep" functions where it automatically reappears on your screen if someone appears or types something. i'm off to try it now
