KRC Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 It only fits two lines of text on the screen at a time. Is it like this for anyone else? I tried it on both Ubuntu and my Windows virtual box. Here are the SS: https://webspace.utexas.edu/cmw479/chatss.png https://webspace.utexas.edu/cmw479/chatss2.png Nope. Looks fine to me.
Chilly Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Must be a side effect of running a virtual copy of Windows. I'll slowly back out of the thread now Just wanted to make sure it wasn't screwed up for everyone.
stuckincincy Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Our chat room host has moved away from java and installed a flash based chat. It loads pretty fast for me and I have had no issues. How is it for everyone else? OMG! LOL. pwnd! D'ya think? As IF!

Chef Jim Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Wow, you scared me there for a second Scott. I say the work PAY in your title and I freaked.
ShelfromNJ Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 It works on my Mac laptop using 10.2 It is a great improvement.
Spiderweb Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 For those of us no familiar with this new chat program, exactly how do we log in with use of our nickname? I used my nickname, "Spiderweb" in the nick space, then typed in what SDS advised above for password, and it let me in but advised the following: nexus.webchat.org If this is your nickname, please use /NICK Spiderweb <password> Where, how? Do I type into the nick field: /NICK Spiderweb ? What's the <password> for if it is to be entered below in the pass field. Sorry for my ignorance. Loads quick, but so far, getting in is a pain (to the unfamiliar).. Help anyone?

Loads quick, but so far, getting in is a pain (to the unfamiliar).. Help anyone? Did it log you in as Spider or as a guest? If the former, I'd guess it was just asking you to reconfirm your password, and you do that in the text box. I hate to be a pain, but I can't log in either and was wondering what I'm doing wrong? Anyone with a suggestion ? Can't log in at all? More details, please ...
SDS Posted June 17, 2008 Author Posted June 17, 2008 I hate to be a pain, but I can't log in either and was wondering what I'm doing wrong? Anyone with a suggestion ? the room is offered through a 3rd party. Your TBD login is not valid. Registering your name with them only has the benefit of someone not posing as you, but you have to login every 3 weeks or the username gets dropped.
Chilly Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Just tried it out again, and it worked fine - no huge spaces between the lines.
Spiderweb Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Did it log you in as Spider or as a guest? If the former, I'd guess it was just asking you to reconfirm your password, and you do that in the text box. When I log in, I used "Spiderweb" in the "Nick" field, and then my password (just tested again). It then enters me into the chat room, but as a "guest". The message: nexus.webchat.org If this is your nickname, please use /NICK Spiderweb <password> leaves me perplexed. If I type: "/NICK Spiderweb <xxxxxx>" (with the xxxxx being my password used when initially tryin to register as Scott advised, I get: sPiDeRwEb: Password incorrect Might his mean someone else has "Spiderweb" Nick?
Chilly Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Might his mean someone else has "Spiderweb" Nick? Yep
Lori Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Spider, I'm in the same boat. Just hafta pick another name, or add TBD at the end, something like that ...
Spiderweb Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Spider, I'm in the same boat. Just hafta pick another name, or add TBD at the end, something like that ... Thanks, will give it another go..... EDIT: added TBD to nick, used same pw, and bingo.....now comes the bad part, I'll definitely forget how to do this come Sept as I'm sure I won't remember to log in every other week or so to keep Nick active... Thanks again Bluefire and Lori....
