Army.ca Chat [merged]

[scottyeH?]

LOL, soo much for that:

ERROR You are banned from this network. Excessive Flooding.

Damn IRC, I bet it's because I had my applet open and.. also mIRC trying to connect. Or maybe the internet hates me :-X

Let me know if you're having trouble reconnecting.

We have a chat room !!!! ???
Link plz, dont find it ???

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

The Java chat applet is here: http://army.ca/php/chat.php

However it's not very good. If you have access to an IRC client such as mIRC or GAIM, I recommend using that instead. Instructions are linked above.

 

[IcEPiCk]

great idea, IRC is way more instaneous...

 

[Fry]

I'm on there now, it's TOTALLY dead...


I think that some form of realtime chat, being IRC or whatnot should be advertised a little more or something... prehaps like a PM sent to all users letting them know of the chat.


I've been on here since may and I knew nothing about it until a minute ago. I like the idea.

 

[Pikache]

I'm the guy who's basically in charge of the chatroom, and I'll try to get it back up again in about a week or so. Been away for summer.

Is it complicated to set up a 'Chat' button on the main page of the site? Would it break down into different topics?

I think it is a great idea. I have been a user of this site for a while now and I didn't even know it existed!

 

[vangemeren]

A good location could be above the military quotes on the far right side of the start-up page, it's empty space. As a sidenote what happened to the wendsday discussions?

 

[WannaBeFlyer]

I think that nobody is using it because they aren't aware of it. I am sure it would get a lot of use if there was a link or button on the main page...

Hi,
tried to use the chat feature. I can see what other people are saying but I can't Type anything also I have no tool bar. Anyone else having problems?

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

The subscribers have been testing the chat room for about a week now and it works OK. What browser are you using? I'd try re-entering the room to see if the problem is still present.

 

[perry]

Well I'm using IE 9. I tried to enter the chat room and still no tool bar. Still can't type a message.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

I assume you mean IE 6? That should work fine. Do you have the option of trying it on another computer, or in another browser such as Firefox?

 

[Pikache]

Mike, is there anyway to change nicks in the new chatroom?

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Unfortunately the nicks are based on the forum usernames (not display names). I can change people's forum usernames, but it requires a password reset.

 

[tomahawk6]

Perhaps if he scrolled down he would see the area where you type your message.

 

[NavComm]

The chat does't work on my mac at the office. Works fine at home on the pc though.

 

[vangemeren]

How do you change rooms, like from Army.ca chat to Radio chatter?

 

[the 48th regulator]

go to the top, there is a drop down

pick the radio chatter
