Chat feature

[Geoffro]

Hey you guys, we need to come together on this. Tim has shelled out some cash to make the "Chat" feature available to us. I'm starting a new thread just to bring attention to this option - when you log on to the site, make the first thing you do is to click the "Community" link at the top of the thread forum, and select "float chat." If no one is there, fine, just leave it open. Even if you don't engage in the mass discussion, it makes you available to other users for instant messages. Just leave it open when you are on line. This is a great option that Tim paid for, and we need to use it!

Well, I haven't paid for it just yet but I will if it gets popular. I'm currently testing it out.

I couldn't open it without downloading "java"? and my security blocked a pop-up. Is this normal?

If you picked Float Chat, you'll get a pop-up window. As far as Java, yea, you'll need that to be able to run the chat.

 

[thenamesben]

Yeah, you need to have Java installed. If you blocked a pop-up, then that was the chat window. If you choose "Float Chat" it opens it up in a serperate window.

EDIT: Tim, ya beat me!

i had it open while playin a little online poker and tried to converse as much as i could but it was hard to pay attention to the chat with three poker games goin on at the same time.....i think it is a great idea though....cool when you have nothing else to do lol

The chat thing is a really cool idea guys. I just wish people were on right now.

Where's the link for the chat?

 

[kpc2004]

o i c now! I'm always behind with these things. Pretty cool stuff there, it makes me wish I was around earlier.

It works on my desktop, only problem is I am only on here early in the morning if my daughter is awake.

Does the chat room time out and log off after 30 minutes like the Forum and main site, or will I stay logged on if I just leave it open indefinitely?

If you choose "remember login" on the forums/home page you won't get logged out. I think the chat will stay open indefinitely.

Tim, I got booted from the chat room for inactivity.

 

[timg]

It shouldn't anymore.. I just realized I forgot to turn that off.

 

[thatguy]

tim, I just opened the chat room, I'm all alone but thanks for making this an option!

Do you know what version of java is required. I'm at work with Java 6.0_11 and get an error.
