Chat Issues, Etc.

How about a voice chat???

[thepast]

Hi h1,
At this point, that's not possible... the chat program we have doesn't support voice & we aren't really looking to get another new program. However, YIM & MSN, skype, etc. offer great voice services to chat with people--alone or in a conference.

how about a little thing that lets you know who is in chat before you login? that's a good idea!

1. Chat Mentoring Program: Paired off experienced & new Doms/subs/switches and provided structured mentoring program on a weekly basis...

2. Structured/Moderated Topic Chats: Opened up a room in the chat at a certain time & date for a discussion on a specific topic.

I think these an awesome ideas.. Especially the first one...

Maybe also find ways to show others how to express themselves a bit .. It is kind of frustrating when you type a 5 sentence comment and get a one word reply while playing.. maybe that is just me..

before you can go in to chat, I think you should have to completely fill your profile out, I don't know if this can be done, but it would cut down on a lot of confusion

I think this could be maybe a little more lenient but it certainly would help to at least give an idea on role you play.. whether you are a sub Dom/me or switch or trying to find your place... your gender.. what gender interests you... if you are particular... and possibly age..


Thanks Delia for starting this .. I wish you the best of luck with it..

2009 has not been a good year for me in the chat room

heck, even the main site has been impossible to get into some days

currently when i try to get into chat, i get a notice that the connection was interrupted during negotiations

a few days ago i got in but it was as if i was a voiceless fly on the wall

one recent day when i got in there was absolutely nobody else there, even after i hung around and did a few things at my desk, waiting to see if anybody showed up

has something happened to the site that makes it difficult for those with 56k dial-ups?

all of my software is 100% up-to-date (done daily), the computer is barely a month old, i clean up all history items daily when i shut down, it doesn't matter if i use IE or FireFox... that is just some background info

Your computer is barely a month old and yet you have dial-up? That sucks Splurge on DSL or whatever. It's worth it!

It's weird for me sometimes, I can access it at work (IE) but not from home (FireFox)

I hadn't thought that it was browser related but will have to try IE at home and see

I'll keep you posted!

[gemmy]

whoohoo am home now and in Chat - whod'a knew hehehe

It was my browser - simple done

give it a go and see if it helps you!

[ashtonDs]

jewish_sub,

Firefox is a stripped down browser with lots of add-ons so you can customize it. Be sure you have an add-on that can do chatrooms etc. If you don't, check on the Firefox website and download one.

...Or you could download a browser that already has that capability.

[jewish_sub]

for some reson i can't get it to work in ie too. .

[Tufty]

In IE, look under 'Tools' and 'Options' then check under the 'Content' tab.

It could be that the 'Rating' settings need to be changed or the 'Content' settings checked to allow any user.

If you use a firewall, make sure that you allow it to access the site.

Just a thought...

[annie]

I only use Firefox and it has always worked for me. Firefox just has to download the java update the first time I enter chat then it works great from that point on.

[crazy_grrluk]

also check the pop ups fro this site.. make sure that u have allowed FF to access the pop up for chat

[Escritor]

For the chat rooms you need Java. Firefox uses the Sun Microsystems Java engine (which is the original), so if you don't have it installed, chat won't work for you on Firefox. Anyway, FF itself should ask you to download and install Java if you don't have it when you try to open it.

IE installs Micro$oft's Java Virtual Machine. If chat is not working for you, maybe something corrupted your IE installation or you chose not to install MS JVM. Anyway, you can download Sun's Java Engine (I strongly recommend it, even if you have MS JVM) and it should work on IE as well.

... nothing further :-)

[fetishdj]

Nope. I can't either... I suspect it is part of the server upgrade. I am sure it will be resolved soon.

Chat's down for now until the chat is moved & de-compressed (i.e. 24hr or so)... so everyone is going to have to spend the day catching up on their r/l stuff... haha...

[Arria]

Yup, I think so, too... just wanted to make sure it´s not a problem on my side.

Have a little mercy on me. :-)

[gemmy]

You need to update your java and clear your browser cookies (under the Internet Tools/Options menu) and make sure you are using a compatible browser (IE is preferred, many say Mozilla Firefox works)...

It's up & running!

[craven]

thanks Delia, Safari works well also, I use OSX Tiger safari, have never had any problems
