Author Topic: New Chat Room Software Daryl C. W. O'Shea Film God Posts: 3977 From: Midland Ontario Canada (where Panavision & IMAX lenses come from) Registered: Jun 2002 posted 10-16-2003 05:31 AM                        We've installed a new chat program for the forums... unfortunately it seems to have a few issues with some browsers. So far it seems it works fine with IE and Opera for Windows. It also seems to work acceptably with IE for Mac... but occasionally stops updating itself so you have to hit the refresh button or type something to update the chat text window. The problem is probably javascript related but I'm too tired right now to sort it out. So... if you find a browser that doesn't work with the chat software, post the browser name and version along with the operating system and version you are using. Also include what you are doing wrong to cause the problem.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-16-2003 06:29 AM                  Daryl, a FYI: While I like the "easy-on-the-eyes" med-grey background, some colors like the cyan and my hot pink don't show up well against that background. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 10-16-2003 07:27 AM                    How's that Share-Your-DTS-Files feature coming along?  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-16-2003 04:43 PM                     Mac OS X and Safari 1.0 ... you need to make sure Java 1.4.1 has been installed. This update was released on September 8, 2003. Apple download page ... look out, it's a 40MB download  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-16-2003 05:13 PM                        40MB usually downloads in less than a minute from Apple's site.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-16-2003 05:22 PM                     If you're on a wireless network, the loss and reaquisition of signal may cause your IP address to change. If this occurs, you will need to log off and back on for the chat room to operate properly. And stop walking around!  |  IP: Logged Erick Akers Arse Kicker Posts: 201 From: Dallas, TX, USA Registered: May 2001 posted 10-16-2003 10:24 PM                     I'm running IE 6 and MSN 8 and now when the page refreshes the complete screen blanks for about 2.5 seconds when new post are made. From what I can tell I'm guessing the refresh rate is to slow??? and I miss two or three post. I also noticed that I can't just refresh the page to log back in. Thanks, Film-Tech's official "Arse Kicker" Erick  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 10-16-2003 11:36 PM                     The Chat Room is not working good by me. I have successfully logged on and off the Forums using my existing password. When I try to log into the Chat Room, I get the following message: Log In address does not match Log In Id . Either I am logged in somewhere else, my IP has changed or another person has logged in under my ID. But while getting this message, my name came up on the USERS ONLINE window, but I still was not able to access the chat-room.  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

But other than that, it seemed to work OK for me. No complaints other than the refresh takes a little too long sometimes  |  IP: Logged John Lasher Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Newark, DE Registered: Aug 2001 posted 10-17-2003 12:37 AM                        When I go in it displays code in the window.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

I'm an idiot.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-17-2003 03:08 AM                        In Camino for OS X I press "Chat" button on the frameside.html and I get the 404 error. Updated with da latest Java crap. Same goes with Safari in OS X. Seems to work fine with Netscape 7.1 for OS X, as well as Internet Explorer 5.2 for OS X.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-17-2003 03:52 AM                        Running a Timex Sinclair 1000, & cannot get the chat to work at all.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.
