18 Mar 99 - 08:03 PM (#64117) Subject: New Mudcat Feature Testing From: Max Hi all. I noticed that the ICQ chat room I set up is used quite extensively, so I thought I'd work on a chat room on the mudcat. Anyhow, we have a grand design for the future and a "for now" idea. I set up a test chat room here: http://www.mudcat.org/chat/irc.cfm. Try it out if you like and let me know what you think. As I mentioned, this will be eventually replaced with our own chat thing. Oh, also, it is members only for now. |

I did however read something about an error regarding some member who didn't bring an ID. (Is this an adults only thing?) I have a valid Washington State drivers license is that good enough to get in? It's got my picture on it. Will I also have to give a fingerprint, retina scan, blood, stool, and urine sample, like I do when I'm cashing a check? Then there was something about someone who didn't bring enough cookies to go around for everyone??? I didn't know it was suppose to be a potluck chat or I would've baked some cookies too. Reggie |

19 Mar 99 - 01:31 AM (#64195) Subject: RE: New Mudcat Feature Testing From: Banjer Just checked out the chat room, all seems to be working well. I was there by myself, however, and since I have been talking to myself long before I got into computers I didn't stay long! I run a Pentium 133, 1.2g hard drive and 48 megs of ram with the 4.04 Netscape browser. Got in with a minimumDL time and all functioned well. I did notice that on the little ID screen my nicknmae is as I originally listed it, "Banjeray". This board has shortened it to Banjer, which is OK too. Look forward to being able to chat with folks in the chat room......Thanks for an excellent effort...It has made the Mudcat my #1 place to go after logging on and many times I spend all my available time here...I have been deleting some of my bookmars because I just don't feel I can spread myself that thin !! Thanks Max!! |

Will there eventually be "rooms" for private chats? And, do our words in there get saved anywhere or do they just go off into the cyberaethers? Thanks, katlaughing |

27 Mar 99 - 04:24 PM (#66339) Subject: RE: New Mudcat Feature Testing From: katlaughing Catspaw, Barry: Try going to it, independent of the Mudcat.

Kinda bypasses the threads, personal pages, and all, I think! |
