do ya see the white bar across the bottom of the screen next to the boxes of different colors and then there is a box w/ a b, r, u, n and then a white bar....that's where you type. You should see a blinking cursor. (look right above where it says actions and commands) After you are done typing what you want to say...just hit the enter key and you should see it in the chat window above.

I'm in chat now if anyone wants to try coming in. There was a couple people there earlier, but we all had to run for a bit.

I tried about 8:00 pm central and all I got was an empty room. I thought I was doing something wrong too. After I got into chat then a box popped up in the center with all these option (something like -m, -n, about 4 other things and down at the bottom it said "refresh, apply etc.". Did I do it wrong? And it was an empty room? What do you do with that little box that comes up? Do you type something in that?

Is it a password box, granny? I know in Java, when you first go into the room theres a password box that pops up so if you're using a registered name you can identify...it usually stays for about a minute? Not long at all. I know about that time, the few of us in there had just left, and it was awhile before anyone else came in so I'm guessing you just got there in between other people.

At the moment, the link Draheid provided is the only way in that is working for Java, that I know of.

Tonight is The Amazing Race. Which means we will most likely be having the show transcribed for us by wonderful east coasters. That starts at 6pm Board, Pacific, BB time. I'll probably be there about 5pm, so if anyone wants to pop in and make sure its working for you and/or if you need help we can do it before the show transcription.

Thanks War, I'll try again tonight. If I have trouble tonight I will try to copy the box and put it in here so you can see what it looks like. Thanks for your help!

Anytime, Granny. I'm not as techy as some folks but I can usually work my way through chat problems...most the time, LOL.

Whoever uses this link, you need to be patient. It's a little slow loading. The first time, you'll be asked for permission to load a new applet. It appears safe to do so and you only have to do it once. Once you see the channel open, it will ask you for a nickname to use. Wait until your cursor appears in the text box and then type in your nickname. You should then be ok. If you find you have a Guest#### nickname, simply type /nick yournickhere and it will change for you.

The link again is: Click Here to Join TVClubChat (Opens in a new browser window}

Sorry, folks, I couldn't get into chat....and I was poised at the keyboard ready to transcribe.

I had to switch to Netscape for a browser, since Explorer was freezing my cursor. Does Netscape work with this? I was having trouble accessing some other sites.

<Marm is tired of computer problems! Finally got back online, only to burn out my printer with another draft of my dissertation to go....that's FIVE printer burnouts so far, BLECH!>

Hope to get back to chat in a couple of days.
Tried the link and just got a blank page.

Dra, could you give me a list of servers for mIRC so I can join chat? I don't seem to have my old list anymore. I just can't remember what the servers names are right now. I'm in chat using java, but there appears to be no one there at the moment.

-----------

Never mind, I figured it out... chat.webmaster.com. No one is there, so I'm leaving. Night all!

Wargod is a genius at mIRC. I downloaded it last night and she helped me set it up with sounds and she was awesome. Very kind and patient and very helpful. So if you need help with mIRC, she certainly can get you going. I had no idea it could be this much fun!!

Okay, then! It is official. Wargod is both a genius and a mIRC wizard! Yay!!!



some of us have been trying to tell her that for ages

You guys are making me blush, LOL. Hehe, mIRC is about the only kind of techy thing I can help with. Luckily, I had some great teachers who were very patient with me.
