Chat missing

[rickf]

I have never been able to get into the temp chat. Found the Facebook page but could not do anything once there either. Oh well, back to reading.

Temp chat is java based, so it's even more picky about the users workstation and the version of java loaded. But it's better than nothing.

The nice thing about temp chat is that I donot have to UPGRADE for it to work with my old nonupgraded yet laptop or disktop

Gotta watch that backend stuff. Noticed the site was down, figured Drew was upgrading again.....

123FlashChat is the company that sells the chat software we're running.

We had a trial version running on the site. But the files they've given us (a license file) seems to keep us locked into trial mode. I've started up the client, but it's still dead in the water no matter how many times I restart it.

Chris owns the license to the software. So I'm kinda having to wait for his correspondence with the vendor to get the issue resolved. (I stay away from the incoming and outgoing money for the site)

I've sent Chris an email asking where we stand at this point. I'm hopeful we'll just get the vendor to assist one on one with this and put it to bed once and for all.[/QUOTE]

Want me to send a couple of "The Crew" over ta have a "CHAT" with the vendor??

All I get is a Windows 7 loading symbol just swirling around. It will go on forever but nothing will happen. I have the latest updates for Java.

Problem is, there's so many different flavors of Java and options it's impossible to sort it out on a case by case basis.

Thats alright, you guys type too fast for me in chat. By the time I respond to something you are on another subject!

I will bet half of you are using speech recognition software.

I think we all understand it's not your fault and that you make super human efforts to keep the site going and healthy.....BUT....I have to blame sombody.

Personally, I think it's Ron's old outdated computers dragging the whole internet down.

TWM along with Santa and I were on temp chat this morning - this works almost as good - at least it was a way to touch base with folks
Thanks PT on getting this done while you pull your hair out.

Zout likes being probed?????????????? Oh my!

I can't currently get either chat to work right now. I don't appear to have the right program for the temporary chat. Yep, I am trying to get back on here more after my long absence.

The main chat is still not up. I'm stuck until we move forwards with it. The temp chat uses Java. Unfortunately there's absolutely no way to make flash or java based chat rooms work on every singe machine due to various issues with the user's computer software (Different versions of Java and Flash).

If it doesn't work, you can always try checking that Java is enabled on your browser, and check that you have the latest and greatest version. That *might* resolve some issues out there.
