Since the site was down this am, I thought I would pop into chat. Well, I got there, got the sign in window, got the chat box but it was empty! I could type stuff but nothing showed up....it was very odd.

Tex, when having this problem in chat, check the 'tabs' under the chat window. I suspect that you were stuck on the 'status' window as opposed to the '#tvclubchat' window.

What tabs?
When I click on the link at the top of this page, I get to the page where you can sign into chat 1 chat 2 and others. i click on chat one and sign in, then i am taken to what would normally be the chat window, but's partially there.

Picture the outline of the chat box. you have the place down at the bottom where you type, the place on the right side that usually shows who's in there and the left hand side that's the dialog....in the upper left side it says server messages
i can see the perimeter box and the bottom box where you type.

does that make any sense?

Texannie: Here is the 'Status' window I suspect you are seeing:

chat


If you do not see the extra tab at the bottom for #tvclubchat, (this one says #tvclubchat2 for testing) try typing into the chat area the following command:

/join #tvclubchat

and press the Enter key. That should bring you into the channel to chat with others. If you do see the tab, click on it to view the channel window.

If none of this works, try using the new chat program (not currently available on the mirror unfortunately) at THIS LINK

Hope this helps.

Well, that was fun! Of course, I am not familiar with a chat room so I made a fool of myself, but other than that...

Ack!!! Need a bit of help remembering mIRC. Since I have been on the road so long, I had to re-register my name. In the meantime, they have made the passwords more complicated, so I had to get a new password.

At some point I set an option somewhere in mIRC that once I log on, it automatically enters my password. Now I can't find where I was when I set that, so it is entering the old password. Can anybody figure out where I went to set that thing? :-)

Juju: There are two options for automatically setting your password at login - 1) requires you to use the nickname registered, 2) lets you use any nickname to login and then identify using your registered name and password.

1) Edit the servers and add your new password to the password field in the server configuration.

2) Under 'File - Options' then 'Connect - Perform' first check 'Enable perform on connect'. You can set it to all networks or only the network for the TVCH chat servers (better option if you use other IRC networks), then type in the command to identify like this:

/ns identify Juju2bigdog YourPassWordHere

You can also add any other commands you might want to have automatically performed such as /umode -M to enable PMs to come through, etc.

Dra, I am embarrassed to say that about five minutes after I posted I figured out to go to Options>Connect>Perform and then I went to chat and promptly forgot to come here and say I figured it out.

Hmmmmm, I guess I knew that password thingie was there in the servers section, but I never knew it actually used the password to log you in.

Thanks for your help.
