Post by: Admin aka Dan on January 02, 2004, 20:33:30
Hi all,

I have added a chatroom feature - please try it out - you can access it at the bottom of the main page.

Cheers

Hi Dan

Can you explain how this works then?  All I have is a screen saying you and I online, if I click on your name send this person private message comes up,  do I just post there?

Hi there, I tried it out and it works. I saw you on Suze but you wouldn't answer. I just typed in the little window and entered. Good luck. -Ina

Suze,

You should have a box at the bottom of the screen which you can type in - it may not appear if your sceen size is set to small.

I have checked and you are logged out - you are logged out when you close the window.

Cheers

Dan

I've resized the initial window, and made it sizable - this should help Suze (and others maybe).

Cheers

Dan

Neat idea Dan but I don't have any boxes at the bottom  :(

My monitor broke and this is an old refurb one - what do you mean about screen size ?  Page fits from top to bottom .

I can look in but can't talk - how frustrating  :'( :'( :'(

Cheerz Dan  ;D

Have left you a message in chat to say can now access.  All you techno types out there, what should my screen size be, I picked 800 x 600 pixels at random but type really small.  Lucky I got really good thunderbird eyes  :D

Sorry Dan

Yet another question! At bottom it says public/private.  I assume that if I wanted to I could have private conversation with someone (oooer missus!) How does this work then?

And what does reset target mean?

Bet you wished you had never started this on a Friday night when you're dying to get down to the Rat & Carrot!!

Fun stuff Dan! Could become addictive tho............ ;D  DP

I think the chatroom will be used more by those on broadband, peeps like myself who pay for a set number of hours a month are always mindful of how much time we are using up and as Doris says, could become addictive just waiting to see who turns up!!

Also, too many people can make the conversation disjointed, like being at a crowded party.  Hey, great place for the next party though  :D

Nice one Dan x

I think the chatroom idea is great. if there was anyone there to talk to. Went in earlier today, no probs, just noone there.

Perhaps we could arrange a time convenient to most of us, to go into the chatroom.

When would be the best time for you folks?

Yes Suze, I did arrive too late. Time i arrived everybody except Dan had left. Had a little chat then made my excuses. No fun just talking to one person like that.

Trouble is couldnt get on any earlier.  We will just HAVE  to arrange something in advance.

Perhaps we could have a 'chatroom inauguration' party one weekend.  Our parties are tailor made for a chatroom arent they?
