Subject: Mudchat rides again! From: SeanM Date: 18 May 99 - 02:15 PM Just checked, and it's back up and running! For those of you who don't have it bookmarked (or whatever), go here to get into the chatroom. For those uninitiated, it's a great time. We've been designating the top of the hour as the 'check-in' time for everyone to log on. Better odds of meeting each other. Peace, Love, Understanding and Respect. M |

Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: WyoWoman Date: 18 May 99 - 10:26 PM I tried, but couldn't get in... Am I doing something wrong??? (I've never been in a chat room before, so maybe there's a secret i don't know...) kc |

Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: SeanM Date: 18 May 99 - 10:37 PM Currently in chatting with Alison... is the link above not working for everyone? My system seems to like it... Hmmmmmmm......... M |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: SeanM Date: 19 May 99 - 12:22 PM Was in yesterday chatting with several folks on several occasions... Perhaps a section on help will have to be dedicated to just the room... *sigh*. But it is good, though! Almost like hearing the voices.

Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Peter T. Date: 19 May 99 - 05:35 PM Just to note that the chatroom has never, so far as I know, worked for people with Macintoshes, nor does it now (I have recently tried with two different Mac systems including OS8; and also tried both Netscape and Internet Explorer), so don't get your hopes up if you are a Mac person. Yours, Peter T. |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: John Wood Date: 19 May 99 - 06:28 PM Okay fellow folkies! Own up.Who pinched the``Submit´´button on the Mudchat!! I was just in and tried to have a chat with LLanfair,but seem to have lost the send button? Greetings John |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: alison Date: 19 May 99 - 09:40 PM there is no submit button in the chat room... just type in the box and hit enter.. I'm in there with Tony B now. Slainte alison |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Rasta Date: 19 May 99 - 11:38 PM a real live chat room on the mudcat |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: WyoWoman Date: 20 May 99 - 01:29 AM Ok, so what I got when I clicked on the blue clicky thing at the top of this thread is the message: applet room.IRC can't start:error.java.lang.no class DefFoundError:room/l I have a PC with Windows 95 and I'm using Netscape Explorer. So, anyway. Bummer. kc |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: The_one_and_only_Dai Date: 20 May 99 - 06:48 AM Me too, KC. I expect it's firewalls, or something. |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Bill D Date: 20 May 99 - 05:41 PM well, I DO know you gotta have Java enbled! But I still can't get in,,,get the same message...(the ICQ chat thing worked just fine while it was set up...why did it go away?) |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: SeanM Date: 20 May 99 - 05:46 PM Weird. In there right now with Llanfair. Don't know what to tell you folks. M |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: annamill Date: 20 May 99 - 06:13 PM To the powers that be... I tried and I was told I have a bad cookie. I've never had that problem before ;-) I reset the cookie and then I was no longer a member, so I redid my profile and I got back. I don't have Java enabled. It drives me crazy. It takes so damn long to load! Is that my problem? Anna |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Martin _Ryan Date: 20 May 99 - 06:28 PM Ye Gods! It works! Regards |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Tony Burns Date: 21 May 99 - 02:28 PM I'm getting "Connection Refused" messages again. I hope that means that so many Mudders are chatting there is no room for one more. |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Alice Date: 21 May 99 - 02:35 PM Well, yes, I am on a Mac, so... if any of you are around right now who can't get into the MUDroom, please meet me in the garden, here ~alice |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Bert Date: 21 May 99 - 02:42 PM rides again!, rides again! that it's name not be lost to..... |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Llanfair Date: 21 May 99 - 05:55 PM It won't let me in tonight. Hope I'm not missing anything!!!! |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Tony Burns Date: 21 May 99 - 06:15 PM I just got there. Looks like it's working again. |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: GutBucketeer Date: 21 May 99 - 11:50 PM It's 11:52 PM EST and I am on. Can others see messages that were posted before they enter? JimB. |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: SeanM Date: 25 May 99 - 03:53 PM Whee! This thing gets better as it goes on... spending a good time chatting with a whole bunch of peoples from all over the place! Thanks Max! SeanM |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Tony Burns Date: 25 May 99 - 06:00 PM JimBunch, Unless their is something in the java client that can look at a log somewhere then there is no reference to messages prior to someone joining. Think of it like walking into a room and talking with whoever is there. |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Tony Burns Date: 02 Jun 99 - 07:05 PM I'm getting the dreaded 'connection refused' message again tonight. I hope it's because 6 other Mudders are there already. |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Max Date: 02 Jun 99 - 08:10 PM Sorry, I didn't have it running. should be ok now. |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: alison Date: 04 Jun 99 - 08:30 AM Hi, Anyone else awake??.... I'm getting tired talking to myself.. slainte alison |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Llanfair Date: 04 Jun 99 - 03:24 PM Hi, Alison, Ihave thye same problem, but I think it's due to the time difference. I tend to log in in the evening, and 8.00 pm here is 3.00 in the afternoon in the states. Early morning checks on threads are at 2.00am American time. So I will continue to check into the chatroom as and when, in the hopes of talking to all the nice people who understand what I'm talking about!!! Hwyl, Bron, |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Uilleand Date: 04 Jun 99 - 03:30 PM Help! Anyone know what's wrong? I can get into the chatrooms, but can't type anything. Any suggestions will be gladly experimented with! |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: alison Date: 04 Jun 99 - 10:30 PM you have to type in the long box along the bottom , not in the main body..... when you press enter it'll move into that bit......... I hope it is something as simple as that anyway..... slainte alison |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Helen Date: 04 Jun 99 - 11:48 PM Hi all, Can you see me standing outside the window, with my nose pressed against the glass, looking mournfully inside at all you chatty 'Catty revellers. And I can't get in! Boo Hoo. Sob! Sigh! Still getting the Java error message - what can I do to fix it? Helen |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Tony Burns Date: 05 Jun 99 - 12:02 PM I don't know what you can do to fix the java error Helen but I do know that you don't have to use the java interface. Any IRC client should be able to connect to Mudcat and then join the mudcat room. Of course that means that you will have to get an IRC client and install it. The one I use is mIRC and it is available from http://www.mirc.co.uk. |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Banjoman_CO Date: 06 Jun 99 - 12:19 AM i just tried the chat room for the first time. Couldn't get in. Is there something else that I need to do? Fred |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Tony Burns Date: 06 Jun 99 - 12:27 AM Banjoman_CO, you made it to the chat room but left rather quickly. I've been online since 00:10. You showed up at 00:12, left at 00:14, came back at 00:17 and left at 00:18 according to my log. Sorry I didn't see you right away but I was catching up on the threads. |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Uilleand Date: 10 Jun 99 - 06:11 PM No unfortunately it's not as simple as that. I know where to type. But it's just not working. I think it may have something to do with the IRC Client. |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: alison Date: 10 Jun 99 - 08:02 PM I have sat in there for ages the last few days...... admittedly whilst surfing elsewhere, and no one else has come in... sob... sniff ..... apart from John..... (sorry about that John.. if only the door noises still worked..) slainte alison |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Bill D Date: 10 Jun 99 - 08:29 PM WHY do we not have better instructions/help/answers about how & why this works? I have had IRC for 3 years and chat in it regularly...yet nothing tells me how and where to find Mudcat among the 8427 IRC servers..(and I 'can' enable Java, too...but fat lotta good it does me! IS IT WIN95 dependant? ...why does it work for some and not for others??....and who IS on first?..and what IS the difference between a duck?...and WHY can't I go back to Constantinople?..(oh, never mind..I know that one..) |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: harpgirl Date: 10 Jun 99 - 09:03 PM I'm having similar problems. I click on the chatroom button and get a lovely gray screen with mudcat logo on the top. Or I go through prodigy.net global chat and still can't get there! Help!!! harpgirl |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: SeanM Date: 10 Jun 99 - 11:44 PM Don't know what to tell you. All I can say is that I'm sitting in there now listening to my own echos... M |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Tony Burns Date: 11 Jun 99 - 07:19 AM Bill D. When using your own IRC client connect to www.mudcat.org via port 6667 and then /join #mudcat |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: alison Date: 15 Jun 99 - 06:46 AM Anybody want to join me? slainte alison |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: annamill Date: 15 Jun 99 - 11:46 AM Hi, I actually was in last night, but noone was there. Maybe another time. annap |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: DonMeixner Date: 15 Jun 99 - 11:13 PM Try as I may I still can't master this ICQ business. I know its there but its always offline. Don |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Jun 99 - 11:54 PM Don...I seem to be having a similar ICQ problem and there seems to be a lot of us who aren't. I wish I was more "literate" about this damn thing. I follow the instructions and poof...nothing! I had no trouble on the chatroom which Max set up a few months back, but it doesn't seem to be the same now. catspaw |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: alison Date: 16 Jun 99 - 02:08 AM Cat and Don, This new chat room has nothing to do with ICQ, that was the old one which was shut down,(I still use ICQ for chats with people...... I am #16719177)..... and I still prefer ICQ...... the new mudcat one is completely different and you do not need to have ICQ at all.... I never seem to bump into anyone in this new one.... slainte alison |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Llanfair Date: 22 Jun 99 - 06:52 PM I haven't met anyone in the chatroom for at least two weeks. I can't even get into it tonight. Is it broken? Are people avoiding me? is it something i said? am I paranoid? It's because of the serial monogamy thing isn't it? No-one wants to talk to me!!!!!!!! (This is fairly normal British behaviour!!!!!) Cariad, Bron. |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Tony Burns Date: 22 Jun 99 - 07:17 PM It seems to be down Bron. I haven't been able to connect this week at all. (Connection Refused) |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: John Hindsill Date: 22 Jun 99 - 09:26 PM I just got in---couldn't last night---but none there. Oh Well!--John |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Bill D Date: 22 Jun 99 - 09:37 PM well, I tried again...and it said something like 'java error'...have NEVER gotten in... |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Bill D Date: 22 Jun 99 - 09:45 PM Applet room.IRC can't start:error:java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:room/l what is means is, "tough luck, buddy".. |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Barry Finn Date: 22 Jun 99 - 09:51 PM I've never gotteneither & still can't figure out why. Barry |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Bill D Date: 22 Jun 99 - 10:14 PM ..I 'think' I may have figured out what someone was telling me earlier... In regards to getting in by 'regular' IRC....somehow, www.mudcat.org has been made an IRC server...whether it REALLY is, or just simulates it somehow, I have NO idea...but IF you have an IRC client..(a program that will go do IRC stuff.) I use mIRC..but the are a number of them.... somewhere in your IRC program is a list of servers..(Dalnet, Undernet...etc...) well..you simply ADD www.mudcat.org as one of those servers!!then connect to it...(on port 6667, if it isn't already) then you watch it sign on...and when it is done,you type #mudcat in the box where it asks what room you want to join! need more info?? just ask...(I tried, but got shorthand and had to work it out..) |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Bill D Date: 22 Jun 99 - 10:47 PM the really important concept, if you are trying to use IRC (mIRC, GlobalChat, Pirch, IRCLE..(for MACs), etc...is that there is an IRC server NAMED "www.mudcat.org" now..(this is what stumped me)...you CANT get to the room on some other server...(oh, you can open a room named 'mudcat' somewhere else, but it will not be the one the java-based chat is using) |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Date: 22 Jun 99 - 11:55 PM I'm glad to see it on an IRC server. I can use it now. Since I have IRC-II which is a Text based system, on which most of those others were based on. For those using a unix system, type irc on it or irc www.mudcat.org and it should connect to it. Once in there, use the command /server #mudcat. |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Bert Date: 23 Jun 99 - 11:05 PM Hi Guys! anyone home? |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Helen Date: 24 Jun 99 - 07:55 PM Okay, I think that, thanks to Bill D's instructions I'm finally in the chat room, via IRC (mIRC). Anyone interested in a (short) chat??? Helen |
Subject: RE: Mudchat rides again! From: Bill D Date: 24 Jun 99 - 09:15 PM well, Helen..sorry I missed you, but I'm glad it worked..maybe next time |
