Hi everyone,

I made the final adjustments to the chatpage, which should run perfectly now, please login and try, you can also write in this topic when you expect to be online, so others can join.

http://www.alphaville.org/chat/

Some people have asked about chatting with people online at the forum. What I suggest is that you write a Private Message to those members online, you can write to more than one with just a , - between the names for multiple PMīs.

Thanks

Seems to work better than the last one, but you never know. I will always be on the chat when Iīm online on the forum, and not in school

And I could as well visit it everytime I'm here on the forum (that'll say every recess <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>... if I'm not, but you notice that I'm online, why not try sending me a PM and asking me to come there:)!?

I`ve got somekind of problems to use that chatroom...it do not scrolling automatically, so I had to put on points or something that I could see what someone else had written =(

Well, the chat is set to refresh every 10 seconds. If you donīt want to wait then just press send or enter on your keyboard without writing a message, then the chat should update immediately.

It`s sad but I can`t come to chat on sundays <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> My phone bills are higher than heaven...that`s why I liked to be in school about 12h each day *lol*

seems like the new chatroom was working well last week...... but wasn't there a feature to look at stats? How do you get to that?

When more than 1 user is chatting, click on the username for private messages (page 1) and statistics, which is on page 2. I will edit the help page with this info.

Willy once said that the new chat page had the ability to track statistics, but I could never figure out how to view these statistics.......

Ok, take a look at these 2 screendumps from the chatpage:

The first page is to send private messages, the second page shows the users statistics, as shown below.

Yes itīs irritating!!<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>

I just went to the chat on www.alphaville.nu
It was my first time there, and I canīt exactly say that I liked the chatwindow. But at least it worked!

Yeah, I know, and itīs very embarrasing. Maybe I should try something complete different. The thing is that the chat works most of the time, and when it works, itīs really cool, but I canīt live with it, like it is. It must be a server problem, because at other places where I have it online, it works just fine.

Well, it was the same again tonight <img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

We were 3 people chatting, but when a fourth person entered the chat everything went wrong. That was the way I saw it. Like it can take less than 3 people.

Perhaps it would be better to just go back to the old chat. That was a whole lot more stable!

dang! missed it again! well, it sounds like a fifth person would have screwed it up even more........... bummer!

Youīre right Micki. It is a great chat. :)

Too bad though that it only works perfectly when less than 4 users are in.<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

There are a lot of nice functions in the new chat, but it seems like it becomes too much when people want to chat aswell...*smiles*

Well yesterday the chat was malfunctioning again. But then we just used the "General Chat". That one worked alright although the refresh was very slow. I hope the chat also will be improved in the new forum! The current one is really great when itīs working, but . . .

I thought "the other chat" was the general chat so we used that. And it worked a lot better than the Alphaville chat.
