I think this is a good idea, to tell people you are in the chat room, i started a thread like this last night but it got deleted, but i was using a computer, and it was not working poperley so maybe i was sweering, in it and thats why it giot deleted.john

The joeclones (or maybe just one of them) are getting a bit sanctimonious these days.

Don't think that anyone could get into chat right now, even if they wished to

What's it listed as in the pull-down quick links. I don't see any chat room listed - nor song room. Puzzling.

Rara,

It's listed as "Mudchat"

The quick links menu is different if you are a guest or logged in as a member.

You have to be a member and have a cookie to even see the Mudchat link in the quick links menu. No cookie - no chatty.

So, we have a chat place, and are going to end up with a million threads inviting folks over there and talking about why it's broken or not? Kind of weakens the whole concept, doesn't it?

Greg do you have a popup ad killer (Adsubtract, Adaware etc) enabled on your computer? it might not be letting you read the chat. Switch it off if so and try again

Subject: RE: BS: anybody want to chat?
From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull

Greg, I am using a similar system to you, although the chat room is mainly designed for computers, and works best that way, it does work in a fashion on my system.
what you need to do is, type what you want to say
in the long box, as you were doing , but then press the enter button on your keyboard, [bottom right), then press the clear button, to see what the other people have said, one problem is, the chat room seems to refresh itself every few seconds, this means it fills my machines memory up, and I can only use it for about 10-15 minutes at a time, as your set top box seems a bit low on memory, (you can only read threads up-to around 40 messages long etc) then you might have to start again after 10 minutes, also I have no scrolling facility, so if I dont press clear often enough, I might miss a message/reply! You should press clear every minute or so, give it a try, if you tell me when, I will be there as well.john

I was there. Started getting my sea legs. Had short but satisfying chat between old Portsmouth (UK) and new Portsmouth (US). Then I had to duck out for a few minutes and when I got back, everyone had left. Sigh.

Later?

I love the way that John's spelling becomes immaculate when using words of a low semantic content and fewer than 5 letters!

There are people who are lonely and there are people who enjoy being alone..... then there are people who just by alienating everyone else become both and don't realise just how lonely they are until the excrement makes high velocity contact with the cooling device.

From: Mr Happy

i guess loads of people want to chat but there's still a lot of glitches with it. keeps chucking people out. or you're chatting away when it suddenly says 'you're not logged on' . must be a finite period you can stay on for before you automatically get kiked out.

aslo the mc forum itself keeps going on & off. i'm only still here via http://207.103.108.101/threads.cfm is the only route I can find that works.

still i'm happy 'cos i suspect this time of day/night is when the 'magicians' are casting runes & spells to make the whole thing go properly!

keep up the goodly work chaps! you're all doing very well!

cheers,
