Tried going there, but couldn't send a message. Then somehow I had firefox block it out alltogether and can't get it back.

Not that I knew what I was doing anyway...

While it was loading, it was kind enough to inform me that "Nick is already in use". I was like, "...O.o;; Who's using him? Someone I should know about?" XDD

Seems to work fine for me (Firefox).

I just don't understand what "emotes" is.

it worked last night, but now it doesn't load. could be my computer. I'm running Firefox, Win98, Sun Java. it might work again after a reboot...system's getting lagged.

Hmm. That's weird. There's definately a bug in the new java engine for firefox. I *could* just re-write the whole blamed thing, but I *hate* doing that...

ahhh, it's working now.

(people need to come in!)

OK, never mind OldPhil... It turned out I didn't know you were supposed to type in the bar at the bottom of the screen. It works fine with Firefox then...

(How about a FAQ for idiots like me? )

Yes its called using an IM program. MSN, AIM, YIM. Or, you could try not being anti-social.

*sniff* It's beautiful. I think I'm gonna cry.

Yeah, as far as feature creep goes, let's make a deal. I'll let you all (not, y'all - that would be scary) keep using this chat area as long as you all don't start requesting features.

_____I don't get to see anything but a big white box with a little red x.

Hmm. You aren't the only one. That is the one major downside with Java. M$ poluted the pool when they "added vital features" to the standard java implementation. After all the lawsuits, etc, M$ has succeeded in rendering java "funtionally borken."

(For those of you who don't know, java would have let any company sell software off the internet on a per-use basis, regardless of OS. That would put a bit of a crimp in M$'s checkbook).

Anyway, somewhere around here is a link that will let people download the latest java. Someone else wanna find it?

In the mean time, what Opperating System do you have?

Right now, I am using the chat on the MEPIS Linux distribution (kernel 2.6.10, I think) with Firefox with some extensions (AdBlock, Flashblock, TabBrowser Prefs, and Download Manager Tweak). While it is minimally functional under this OS configuration (I can send and receive chat messages), I cannot select any of the Options menu items. When I click my mouse on the Options button, the menu items show, but when I try to click on one of the items, it does not actually turn on/off that item. So, right now, I cannot test the "bip" option and its sound.

My hunch is that this is the fault of the JVM on this particular distribution, but I thought I should let you know.

Update: While I am still the latest post, I am might as well add some more problems.

Now that I am running the chat under Windows XP with the same Firefox configuration, I noticed that I can select the menu items correctly now, but the "bip" does not always emit its sound correctly or consistently.

Furthermore, under both Linux and under Windows XP, sometimes I have to re-login into CAA (despite of having checked the "Remember Me?" box previously), either going to the Chat window or going to somewhere else on the web forums in another window.

Thanks Omega Amen!

Where is it that we select for it to auto scroll. I can't keep up with scrolling and typing. . .

_____I'm useing Explorer on Home XP.

I can't say I've had any problems so far. Thanks for gettijng the chatroom up again thiough.

I have had problems with the auto-scrolling as well. It seems to work when the cursor is placed in the actual chat window, but it fails to auto-scroll when the cursor is placed in the bottom box to type in a chat message.

Please tell me this program doesn't use any of those stupid function calls. I'm gonna be livid if the result of the anti-trust legislation against M$ resultes in this thing not working. >.< Anyone else using the latest version of XP and IE?

CAKelsey - What happenes if you use Firefox? What error message does your java message console display?

I have that problem when working with CAA anytime I send a post.

_____I don't use anything other then IE. You can just ignore my unableness over here. I dobt I would ger much time to chat anyways.

You know guys, the whole reason Mith opened up this thread was so he could work out the bugs as best he can. So for your part, try to be cooperative in answering what he asks. Keep in mind too that 1, none of the staffers get paid for ANYTHING we do, and 2, Mith has spent lots of time and effort to get this to work. Just please remember to be courteous about things, ok?

Was referring to the scrolling problem someone said earlier. Thought that it might be related and thought I'd mention it. With Firefox, when typing, you can't scroll, but it's not a problem with ie.

AH: Hmm... I don't suppose you know what version your java virtual machine is, by any chance?

Ashley,
_____To whom are you adressing your post?

Mithrandir,
_____I'm not even sure how to check on my java anymore. Microsoft has passed out so many dang patches, and bull crud that it's hard to desifer anything anymore. I checked to see if Java was alowed and it is enabled. I even did a bit of searching over the net for the problem, because I'm having this problem with another Java chat.

You should get the fox.
