We'll work it out folks. And remember, when bitching, complaining, asking for help, helping us help and so on, be sure to include as much information as you can. Such as browser and version, operating system, mac or pc, credit card number and mother's maiden name. |

30 Sep 02 - 09:46 PM (#794512) Subject: RE: Tech: Chat room Help! From: Bee-dubya-ell I just found that it seems to work much better if you set your browser for Full Screen. The dialogue box and command buttons hide themselves and you have to keep movin' those little slider thingies around to uncover them. With the Full Screen setting the whole box stays onscreen all the time. |

01 Oct 02 - 12:46 AM (#794609) Subject: RE: Tech: Chat room Help! From: rangeroger Well,I went in and out several times but never got any further than the "Enter Mudchat" page. When I would hit enter I would raise the population by one and end up back at the "Enter" page. Whe I clicked on enter again, I would get the blank screen with the heading that I was already there, so I couldn't enter. Going back to the main Mudcat page and then going back again,the population would have dropped until I hit Enter and it was deja-vu all over again. Where am I? Now. When I need me the most. For Max and Jeff and the joeclones,I am using webtv.The browser is a combination of Netscape and Internet Explorer. What version it is I don't know,but 2.7 sticks in my mind, ad probably my craw. rr |

01 Oct 02 - 01:02 AM (#794621) Subject: RE: Tech: Chat room Help! From: Alice hmmm..... I'm still on the iMac and tried using Explorer as the browser instead of Netscape and it makes Mudchat (and some other things) not appear on the pull down menu and the text of the thread is squashed on the left margin. Mudcat looks great on the Mac in Netscape except that I can't get the chat room to function once I am in. Thanks, Max and all. Wonders never cease around here. |

01 Oct 02 - 01:13 AM (#794626) Subject: RE: Tech: Chat room Help! From: rangeroger That's interesting. Sometimes when I enter the population drops by one. I guess I'm that guy who walks into a room and everyone feels like someone just left. rr |

01 Oct 02 - 09:33 AM (#794718) Subject: RE: Tech: Chat room Help! From: wysiwyg Mr. Happy, because the threads are NOT chats and people get very upset if they are used as chats. An alternative to chat for you webbers is to just PM back and forth. It's actually just about as fast as chat, only with one person. I like the chat for visiting, but I am really looking forward to using it for arguments over politics and so forth! *G* Maybe in realtime chatting we can make more sense than we do when we scribble a message to be read and argued back with, hours later-- maybe when we misunderstand we will be able to clear things up faster. ~Susan |

I'll keep trying... :-) I didn't see your clone in there, Khandu. No Khandu. :-) The original Jerry Rasmussen Accept no substitutes. |

01 Oct 02 - 01:01 PM (#794879) Subject: RE: Tech: Chat room Help! From: Pene Azul 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. Jeff |

01 Oct 02 - 01:19 PM (#794885) Subject: RE: Tech: Chat room Help! From: Alice 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. |

01 Oct 02 - 02:25 PM (#794921) Subject: RE: Tech: Chat room Help! From: Alice 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. |
