Juju2bigdog | Thursday, June 27, 2002 - 10:47 pm     Hi NC, was just coming to tell you I am going too. Well, the main thing is you got mirc downloaded. You can set it up another night. You might as well go ahead and set it up at the rate java is failing to function. I like mirc way better as a chatting program anyway. Oh! Those instructions in there under mirc help look realistic. I forgot! They are just pictures to go with the instructions. You follow the instructions but do the settings on the mirc program you downloaded. Go find your mirc icon and click or double-click it, and it will bring up boxes like you see in the instructions. Night night, as we say in slow chat.  |
Spygirl | Friday, June 28, 2002 - 06:04 pm     Well, it seems that the link to java still isn't working like it should at all. I guess everyone needs to d/l and learn mIRC? |
Nightcrawler | Friday, June 28, 2002 - 07:04 pm     Bookie and me are trying to get mirc to work now we hope to be in chat soon |

Juju2bigdog | Friday, June 28, 2002 - 07:49 pm     Hi NC and Bookie. Hope to see you soon. |
Nightcrawler | Friday, June 28, 2002 - 08:23 pm     HELP Spy I keep puting all the stuff on the first page of mirc. like my nickname and so on just like it shows and i hit add like it said then we put in the stuff it showed on the 2nd page BUT when we hit add like it says too do this little windo comes up saying there is allready a vertion of this that exist????? so I click ok and it keeps tell us the same thing what are we doing wrong?????? |
Spygirl | Friday, June 28, 2002 - 08:58 pm     Okay...let's try to fix this. On the first page of mirc you should add a server. Click the "add" button. In the window that pops up, type "TVCH Connection" in the Description field In the port field type "7000" In the server field type this one for now "katana.ca.us.webchat.org". (**type all of this without the quotation marks around them) Leave the rest of the screen blank. Then click "Okay" Now, you are back to the sign on screen. Type in your full name & email address (not your real ones, but you have to put SOMETHING here). Then type in your first and second choice for screen name. Then click "connect to IRC server" ABOVE where your names are listed. Do NOT click the "okay" button. It should connect you at this point. Once it resolves your IP address (which may take up to 10 seconds for this server), a box will pop up for you to type "tvclubchat". Then click "okay". Poof! You should be there! |
Nightcrawler | Friday, June 28, 2002 - 09:47 pm     it looks like it worked but when i try to type it says your not on a channal???? I give up and i'm going to bed thanks for trying spy. i hope java is fixed soon night all |
Wargod | Friday, June 28, 2002 - 09:51 pm     Night Nc and bookie! |
Karuuna | Friday, June 28, 2002 - 10:00 pm     Looks like the chat problem is a problem with chat.planetz.net; and not us. So it's not likely we can fix it. Then again, Neil's brilliant, so who knows? I did check out several other websites I know (6 of them) that use JAVA chat provided by chat.planetz, and not a single one worked. However, 3 of them had notes posted on their chat page saying that they were having trouble with their JAVA chat as well; and that it was a chat.planetz problem. The only suggestion those sites had was to use an irc-based chat software. Sigh. |

Karuuna | Saturday, June 29, 2002 - 10:34 pm     Didn't I tell you Neil was brilliant??? Thanks! |
Egbok | Sunday, June 30, 2002 - 10:58 am     Thanks Spy, I should have known there was another option for getting into Chat. Maybe I'll drop by tonight and say hello to the group. Have a great Sunday! |
Admin | Monday, July 01, 2002 - 12:18 pm     Yes, I'm brilliant. Don't forget it. (just kidding...) I'm sorry for all the recent problems with chat when using the Java thingy, we'll try and get them sorted out soon. Until then, the NEW chat should work. |
