ok now I have added a new chatroom. When someone goes in it adds the text 1 online to the link at the top of the forum pages so you will know when people are chatting. I also added a PM inbox full notification when your inbox is (nearly) full. More to come! -------------

KB, Thanks again for looking after and updating the site I thought I'd gotten into the chatroom, but still no joy. I have cookies and javascript enabled, popups unblocked, and the latest (mac)OS and Java software. I've tried Firefox, IE and Safari. Just wondering if the usernames could be the culprits? Pat's and HD's usernames have spaces, and mine has an ! I could be way off the mark, but just wondering! Thanks, CP |

Pop up blockers? Don't know KB. Think I'll just avoid that Chat icon and stay where I am. ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride. Biker Pat Grove 1972-1975 |

KB :
Is there any possibility you could consider reverting back to the original Java based chat server and maybe placing a link to "beta chatroom" linking to the newer ASP one while teething problems are ironed out ? We're really grateful for the chat facility it just seems that there might be some gotchas to be ironed out with the new one. I've managed to get access to the new ASP based chatroom a few times but it has a lot of teething problems. With Opera on XP I get "Ianl has joined" repeated every second when it refreshes in the chat console. I seem to be luckier with Mozilla or IE. However, it seems erratic for many users and must have much more browser setting sensitivies than the Java chat. PS: I'm a bit biassed because I was a Sun employee for 8yrs and I have a little more stored faith in Java than I do in Microsofts ASP technology

KB, Two suggestions. 1. I think all new members should get a generic welcome message when they first register. we all send welcome messages to new members but it's impossible to get around to them all. 2. Is it possible to send a PM to more than one member. If I want to send a group message or the same message to more than one person, can I select more than one username?
