New Feature Added

[Pauli]

I have added a chat room... you will find it on the right hand side of the navbar... when you click on the link there is a dropdown box... you can choose to have it open up in a floating window so you will be able to see the board also.. or you can open it up in the window you already have open..

There is a main Lobby for general chat... and there is an option to create another room for chatting about a specific case..

Enjoy... I may have another surprise for you this weekend :zm10:

[annalyzer]

Pauli you are truly the best. I hope you know how much you are loved and appreciated. :11_2_104:

[Pauli]

Just a few helpful instructions for the Chat room....

In the Chat Room drop-down box...

pick Enter ChatRoom (Floating) that allows you to keep both the board and the chatroom open at the same time

When you get in there... place your pointer in the big box where your message shows up and right click.. go to the bottom where it says 'PopUp Notify' and un-check this option.. it is a real pain if you don't.. You also use this area to change your font and font size.


To send another person in the chatroom a private message... go the the right panel where all the names are listed and right click on the person you want to send a message to.

After you get in there, place your pointer on the very bottom edge of the chatroom and when the arrow shows up, drag the bottom edge downward to open the box up to be longer... you will then see the area to type in..

Thank you Pauli!

:groan: For the computor challenged that I am, it'll take men a year's months of Sunday's to figure this out. By the time I do, it'lLL be a vacant room.

[Pauli]

lol Cham, it's not that hard

[packy]

You're not alone, Chambord.

Thank you, Pauli. Neat feature. Can't wait for the next surpise. Whoohoo!

[dojewo]

Paulie, I can't get in the chat room, do I have to download the chat room feature? I checked my java and it is enabled but maybe I have to re-download that? TIA for any answers.

[Roamer]

I'm having the same problem, Doj, and I downloaded the newest version of Java this morning.

[dojewo]

I'm having the same problem, Doj, and I downloaded the newest version of Java this morning.I tried to DL the latest version and I don't know if it completed, but I still can't get in. I'll have to let my techy DH take a look at it.

[Trailblazer]

I know another who couldn't get into chat even though they downloaded java...couldn't happen anyone...sorry...

[annalyzer]

Pauli you are truly the best. I hope you know how much you are loved and appreciated. :11_2_104:


Thank you Pauli. :kissyface4:

[Pauli]

are you trying to open the stationary one or the floating one.. if it's the floating it may be stopped by your popup blocker

[Roamer]

I get the same message for both.

[Pauli]

I need to know

Is the version of Explorer that you're using supplied by a third party provider such as BT, Yahoo, Verizon, or SBC?

Are you running windows98.. XP .. Vista
or a Mac


What version of Java are you running


To get the version of Java you are using... right click on it.. open properties.. click on the General Tab .. click about and it should tell you what version you have

[Roamer]

I've got broadband. HughesNet.

This is the message I get, and it sounds like Doj does, too. I downloaded the latest Java this morning.

I went to the first link and that's for starting chats of your own. :0009:


This forum uses AddonChat Chat Software (http://www.addonchat.com/).

To use this chat room, you will need to Download Java (http://www.java.com/).

[Roamer]

Windows XP, and my Java says Version 6 update 7

[Pauli]

If you are using Java 1.0 1.1 1.2 or 1.3 1.4 it won't work correctly. You need to have version 1.5 or higher

Please visit http://www.java.com/ to download the latest edition of Java available for your PC.

This is the info I am getting from the place I bought the chat software

[Pauli]

If you go to the link above... it will check to see what version of java you have...

Also, if you updated already.. you may need to restart your browser

I had a similiar problem one time and I had to go to Tools and Manage Add Ons. Don't know if that would help. :shrug1:

[Roamer]

I get this message:

Verified Java Version

Congratulations!

You have the recommended Java installed (Version 6 Update 7).


If you want to download Java for another computer or Operating System, see all Java downloads here (http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp).




Incoming PM, Pauli

[Pauli]

Good anna.. I didn't think to check there... your add on may be disabled Roamer...

[annalyzer]

Good anna.. I didn't think to check there... your add on may be disabled Roamer...


Did it help?

[Roamer]

Thanks for trying, Anna, but it says my Sun Java Console is enabled.

No problem. I don't have anything interesting to chat about anyway. :shrug1:

[PinkPony]

I'm having the same problem Roamer.

I've checked everything I know to check. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the updated Java. Still to no avail.

If anyone comes up with a solution, PM me. Please.

You and me both, Chambord.

Thanks so much for this great feature, Pauli! :kissyface4:

[Pauli]

Try this...

go to the link and follow the steps

[rockford2]

I had to download Java for this feature......but I think I am experiencing problems. Pauli? if I log out can I 'see' the conversation that is taking place already or do I have to wait my turn to jump in to chat? :shrug1:

[Pauli]

you can jump in anytime if you have something you want to say... if you log out it takes you out of the chat room...

[rockford2]

you can jump in anytime if you have something you want to say... if you log out it takes you out of the chat room...

:shrug1: then maybe the folks in there aren't chatting. :shrug1:

[Pauli]

that was probably it... if there is a little hourglass by their name it means they have stepped away for a while..

[rockford2]

OH!!! LOL!!!!! I was trying to figure out what that sign meant next to their name!! i wanted one......thinking it was IM or something. Oh heck.....I am such a goof sometimes!:groan:

This is the same message I'm getting, if you figure it out please clue me in.

[Pauli]

I have spent most of the day trying to figure it out... it is something on your end or no one would be able to get in there... it is somewhere in your settings. I'll keep checking to see what I can find out.

I use FireFox as my browser and I have that problem at some sites, but they will load in Explorer..

[annalyzer]

Is it possible it has something to do with slow speed internet like dial up? Can the people having problems chat at other places, watch videos, etc?

I'm still thinking. :g:

I don't have dial up, anna. Although I do have AT&T and have been having some issues with them lately.

I have never had a problem like this before so I'm having a hard time figuring out what's going on.

Well so much for that. You did go to Tools and made sure your Java was enabled? Everything is enabled?

[dojewo]

I use FireFox as my browser and I have that problem at some sites, but they will load in Explorer..I think I'm finding the problem Pauli, for some reason when I do a Java test the website is not finding it, I can find it thru manage add-ons. But I went to a help page and they told me to look in setting-control panel and I should see a little Java coffee cup, well I don't see one and further down the page it says if you don't see the coffee cup, you don't have the lastest version of of the Sun JRE installed on your computer. So it definately sounds like it's on my end, now I just have to see why the first try to install failed.

[dojewo]

Paulie, I have a question, did you change the post number amount to become a super member? Looks like lots of us went back to Seniors.

[Pauli]

Thanks for saying something... when I added the new tags I had to put in the post counts again to show what amount they changed at.. I put a couple in wrong.. I had to go back and do them again, but forgot to run the title user update after I did it.. :groan:

[rockford2]

The board looks great, Pauli!! :happy0158:

[dojewo]

Woo Hoo, I got the chat to work, had to change something in my settings.

[PinkPony]

Well so much for that. You did go to Tools and made sure your Java was enabled? Everything is enabled?

Hi anna

Yes, everything is enabled. I'm sure it's on my end, I just have to figure out what it is.

Thanks

What did you change dojewo?

Where do you get your energy girl? I am truly in awe...You be the best, thanks!

[dojewo]

What did you change dojewo?

PPWent to tools/manage add-ons/emable or disable add-ons. My sun Java was disabled in the 'add ons currentely loaded in internet explorer' I enabled it, restarted the coputer and it worked. I hope this helps

Quoting myself.........that didn't work either. Everything was enabled throughout. I'll keep messing with it and find it eventually. I lurk more than I chat anyway.

But thanks so much for your help. I greatly appreciate it.

[Roamer]

PP, did you install or do you have the latest version of Java?

Roamer... I installed the latest version.

So did I, but I still couldn't get in until the next day. :0009:

Maybe tomorrow you'll log in and it will work. That's what happened to me. :shrug1:

If you saw what a time I have had trying to get those crying, sad little smilies to go where I want them you would laugh. I can't get rid of the first one walking....
Roamer, wish I could help.

Maybe tomorrow you'll log in and it will work. That's what happened to me. :shrug1:

Just as a suggestion, if anyone has problems after enabling Java or upgrading to a new version of Java, you may want to try a different browser, such as Firefox. I had a similar problem on a different board a while back. I knew Java was enabled and I was using the latest version because at the time I was doing quite a bit of programming using Java. I could never make it work using Internet Explorer but I had no problems at all using Firefox. Don't ask me why I just work on computers I don't claim to understand them. :shrug1:

[Alibar]

.
No problem accessing chat room... right now everyone is in the Anthony Case, but, that's not what talk is about. LOL Who knew?

[Boscorelli]

Hi Alibar
I had a little trouble accessing the chat room,then I realized what I was doing wrong. I was in the chat room for an hour yesterday,we really didn't discuss the case;we were all over the place : heating bills price of gas and things of that nature.
There was some talk about child abuse,general information. My biggest problem is myself,when it comes to typing :groan: after I can take comfort that I AM NOT PERFECT.
Hope to see you in the chat room Boscorelli

Hi, Bosc! Just now saw your post. I'm only weeks behind... actually, I'm years... lol I have a full sheet watercolor across the room waiting to be finished; a large canvas on my easel against another wall and I can't seem to get myself moving in the direction of working on either. (((((

Turns out I've only visited the chat room once and it hasn't come to mind again. I've tried them in the past on other sites and never much got into the habit, but, maybe I'll try again with people I'm sorta familiar with.

[awakening2lite]

:s1gyahoo: WooHoo! The menu is so much nicer, and easier to navigate. The addition of the Sub-Forums is GREAT! :basic44:

[Pauli]

lol.. you were quick at catching that one... I hadn't had time to post about it yet..:biggrin:

[Battnt]

LOVE IT!...Thanks Pauli!...:basic44:

[packy]

It does make it easier to find things. Thank you, Pauli.

[Pauli]

I should have done it a long time ago... it just slipped my mind I guess :love0084:

Love the new sub forum or folders...lol....that makes it so much easier. Thanks Pauli.

Nice Job Pauli with the sub-forums...

[Pauli]

Thanks all, but it was no biggie... All I had to do was enable the feature :grin: I just forgot to do it when I upgraded the board..

Speaking of which, it's time for a new upgrade to be done. I'm going to try and do it in the middle of the night 2am or so.. So if you can't get on the board during that time you will know why...

[AmyE]

Thanks for the update!

[nanabillie]

OH no. Just read this and it is 2:04...
