Chat busted?

**Amelia** · March 20th, 2006

Its weird or a conspiracy against me with all of you, now that I have internet access at home, nobody is ever in chat. I do get to chat with corvas on another site but its not much fun since I dont know anybody else......or care to. Wrecking the pyche of young men isnt much fun.

I cant get into chat with my new computer. I've no idea why. I believe I've got the most current Java. Everything should be new, the computer's only like 6 weeks old.

And of course I can get in no problem from work, when I've no time to chat.

Go here, download and install the latest Java version. At least we know for sure then.

What happens when you start chat? Do you see a red cross or something silly, do you actually get a login screen? Do you see any messages?
Is there a firewall on this new computer?

**night faerie** · March 25th, 2006

yeah, I see the red cross. No login screen, no messages. There is a firewall, but we tried disengaging it and that didnt work.

Try and install the java thing from the url I mentioned. It's not going to wreck your computer. If you already have java installed then all you'll be doing is upgrade it, but the red cross suggests there is not much there yet.

yeah. you were right. as always. you da man.

Ok I have a chat problem. Bucky asked me why my name isnt listed as people in chat, when Im there. So my brilliant 3rd warder, why?

Anybody can answer but I hardly ever talk to Mikey.

Yea, the room list showed everyone else there except her. It was odd. Special super power?

I think it's just Hal... cause that happened the other night with LT... he was in there but for a min or twoo he didn't show up to my comp that he was there ~shrugs~

Chat fires up a window with two frames, one frame contains the chat room, the other frame is invisible and connects to a script every minute to show you're in chat. If the second frame fails you won't show up as being in chat. Perhaps some setting or firewall is blocking the extra frame.
