Draheid | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 10:27 pm     Sawheel: I believe you are using WebTV which does NOT allow you to change your user name in chat. The only way I know of would be for you to change the name on your account to this screen name. Sorry, I'm really not a WebTV expert, but that's what I've been told before. Maybe another WebTVer can jump in here and confirm or suggest something here?? Webkitty or Urgrace?? |
Sawheel17 | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 10:41 pm     Thanks, Dra! WhenI had my webtv turned back on, Itried under my old account. They sad it had been taken and i said"Yeah by me" Tried to e-mail that user name, it came up no user address.This was all after msn took over. Oh well, one of these days I'll get a real computer!! Thank you again. |
Hippyt | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 06:43 pm     Dra,what's wrong with chat? Will it help if I go Mirc it? |
Draheid | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 06:48 pm     I finally got back into chat, Hippyt, then GAL joined too so you might try again. |
Zeno39 | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 08:27 pm     I have tried and tried to get into chat. Nothing! It must be something with webtv and that damn MSN. I guess I am just going to have to miss out. |
Draheid | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 08:28 pm     Zeno39, there has been a lot of problems getting to chat tonight. If you're still around, how about trying it once more ... I'll watch this thread if you have problems. |
Draheid | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 06:58 pm     Well, it seems the chat network people were working on the servers last night. Things are running pretty well tonight. Come on and join us everyone. Here's the link. Just click!! |
Wargod | Sunday, January 26, 2003 - 01:52 pm     Is anyone going to be in chat for the superbowl? |
Spygirl | Sunday, January 26, 2003 - 01:55 pm     I'm going in right now War...I need a break from the dissertation crap |
Wargod | Sunday, January 26, 2003 - 02:02 pm     Got a party going on now! |
Spygirl | Sunday, January 26, 2003 - 02:09 pm     Okay...in a matter of minutes, it seems we've got the makings of a Superbowl party!! |
Zeno39 | Monday, January 27, 2003 - 08:31 pm     Dra, I have tried every night to get into chat, and all I get is a white screen. Could it be that I am on a webtv, and it just won't let me join? Or maybe MSN won't permit it? I don't know. |
Draheid | Monday, January 27, 2003 - 08:35 pm     Zeno39: Have you tried this: To chat on WebTV:- Go to HOME
- Hit COMMUNITY
- Hit CHAT
- In the left hand corner, hit GO TO SERVER
- Enter the required information:
Server: irc.webchat.org Port: 6667 Room: #tvclubchat
|
Zeno39 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 03:01 pm     Yep, tried that too. Nothing seems to work. I really wish I could see what chat is all about. I'm sure I would enjoy it. Thanks for trying to help me. |
Draheid | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 03:05 pm     And you tried to find the 'Advanced' setting as indicated for the 'newer' WebTV units? For newer versions, of WebTv, try this:
- Go to HOME
- On top, click on CHAT
- Go to ADVANCED
- Go to SERVER
- Enter the required information:
Server: irc.webchat.org Port: 6667 Room: #tvclubchat If you are able to try this right now, I can be in chat hoping to see you there. Please let me know |
Zeno39 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 03:15 pm     Tried it, and I get a blank white screen again. I will try again later. Probably around 8 or so tonight. Thanks. |
Draheid | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 03:19 pm     Zeno39: I wonder if there's not something about your machine that is causing you problems getting there. Have you tried calling WebTV tech support about this? Do they have any ideas?? Maybe there is a software/firmware upgrade you need?? Just random thoughts...let me know. |
Sawheel17 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 03:53 pm     Zeno39, Couple of us webtvers have gotten in on first try!! It must be your server. In the port area, I typed 7000, hope it works for you! |
Zeno39 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 06:26 pm     Thanks guys for trying to help me. I am going to call the webtv tech support tomorrow to see what I can do. I have tried everything else, so will see what they tell me tomorrow. Thanks again, everybody! |
Sawheel17 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 10:28 pm     I guess I'll be calling too. I tried 3 different ways and it came up"Chat could not be Found" Sorry Zeno39, I tried for ya hon. Headed off to bed now . |
Schoolmarm | Friday, January 31, 2003 - 02:54 pm     Come to chat! Strawberry and I are already there! |
Draheid | Friday, January 31, 2003 - 05:09 pm     Zeno39 & Sawheel17: What's the verdict? Did you have any success with WebTV technical support?? Are you going to be joining the group in chat soon??? Please let us know. Thanks |
Urgrace | Friday, January 31, 2003 - 06:58 pm     For the webbies, I used port 7000 not 6667 - try that and see if it works! |
Twinkie | Saturday, February 01, 2003 - 07:26 pm     Is anyone going into chat tonight? I just went in there and was there by myself. |
Hippyt | Saturday, February 01, 2003 - 07:35 pm     I'll be there in ten minutes Twinks! |
