Clean slate. All browsers appear to work, just that opera and safari don't scroll correctly.

YOU MUST SWITCH TO THE LITE SKIN FOR THIS TO WORK. ONCE YOU DO, CLICK ON THE "NEW CHAT!" LINK AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN.



Sorry, didn't mean to shout there. I'm just happy it's working now.

Well, I am using Firefox 1.5 on Windows XP, and it works most of the time. I say that since one time I had to reload the page to get the usernames under "Online Users".

EDIT: I just noticed the Chat seems to have a 13 character limit on screennames. ChristianRonin logged in, and his name showed up as ChristianRoni with last 'n' cut off. Is this intentional?

EDIT 2: The Chat does not scroll on a enter/leave statement. That is, "11:53 - physicslover has left the chat." will not cause the scroll that normal conversation messages can do.

Just to let you know, FadedOne, I saw you enter and exit out the Chat room, but I did not see any text messages from you.

For the purposes of records, the chat works for IE6 and Firefox 1.0.4 on Windows 95.

Seems to work perfectly for me (Firefox 1.5 on XP SP2). But then again no one else was on, so I couldn't really test it very well at all.

All hail Mithrandir, Lord of the Chat.

One thing I noticed, when people sign off the chat...the message that says there gone does not scroll like writing does. OmegaAmen noticed this as well.

And this is the source report.

I am using FireFox 1.5 on Windows XP Professional Edition, and I just got a white screen. When I went to view source, that was completely blank too.

Hey Mith...uh, I am using Firefox 1.0.7 on Windows XP SP2 and for some reason the new chat window comes up a huge white blank screen...I'm kind of new to Firefox though, so I dont know if its a matter of my security and if it is, the I dont know how to change it.

I am getting feedback that indicates that IE users end up seeing a pink color when someone sets their font color to Dark Grey. This is strange considering that in people using Firefox see Dark Grey font as dark grey correctly.

EDIT: In fact, it looks like any shade of Grey shows up in IE as some shade of Red.

I bring a report of "mostly successful" with Opera 8.5 (WinXP).

I noticed only two issues:
1: Automatic scrolling did not occur
2: Clearing the view prevented further updates

Aside from those issues, it seems to work as designed.

EDIT:
it worked fine in firefox 1.5, but the chat was slow to find users who had quit. a quit command might be nice for this.
entering the chat messages were visible.

EDIT again:
also, the leaving messages don't scroll.

sweet otherwise!

Is it possible that many of the users for whom Firefox does not work correctly have simply not downloaded all the necessary plugins? I know that the majority of flash applications do not work with those computers on which I have only basic Firefox. Also, is Quicktime or any other program required?

Still doesn't work for me... Firefox 1.5, XP SP2 :\

IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2 etc.

XP with SP2

Works fine, although I don't like the time-stamp for every line.

I second this. I tried the chat with Opera 8.5 on Windows XP, and also did not have automatic scrolling.

ah yes..the white screen of doom. same here. all three browsers. sad.

UC: do you have any suggestions about what would need updating? none of my browsers are recommending plugins or updates, but computers are weird like that.

Nice work, Mithrandir.

I'm using Windows XP Pro with IE 6.0 SP 1 and everything seems to work OK.
