Chat Room

[JTofBFC]

Just read the instructions under "Announcements".

No disrespect but do you really think many people will bother with all that merrygoround just to get into a chat room. The beesotted one for instance is far easier than that to get into. Thats all thats required isnt it.

Is it not possible just to have a fairly straightforward non IRC one that people can just enter as a guest or a user name of their choice at the time

Most people will only be there for away matches they cant make anyway.

With you there JT - Bollox to all that - Beesotted's works fine game time . That will do me.

Sure some of the younger ones will use it though like a new toy for christmas

The idea is that you wil just have to do it the once. It's not quite the way it is at the moment but I am assured it will change. Banana is trying to make the chat room so that it only works for registered users of the GPG which doesn't seem like a bad idea.

why keep it to GPG only? Beesotted is quite fun when a few of the opposition wander in!

It helps to stop people like Hurlster coming in and messing it up like he has tried in the away fans forum. They could register and do it once but would then be banned.

My attempts to register have been foiled by V21 taking down their POP3 email service.

Being a totally incompetent prat when it comes to computers etc ,I thought that it would take me forever to follow the instructions and register but I found it easy to do .It`s a nice big lay out as well.
:banana: :banana:


Just one thing though,is it possible to show how many users are in the chat room on the top of the GPG forums?

ianhl - coming soon

everyone else - you can copy and paste the instructions - you might find it easier - in fact I'll try and put your actual chatname and chat password in the text to make this even easier - no promises though.

as to whether the chat room should or should not be GPG members only - what do you think? Registration prevent impersonation which was the primary motivation for a GPG only board

Cut and paste 3 times.

i wish i could understand your shorthand german bee

Yesterday there was no scroll bar again.
I think having to cut and paste three seperate lines is a bit much Banana.
Verstehst du?

nothing's changed - it's probably cached in your browser.

nothing i can do about cutting and pasteing - you can type as well if you find a few mouse clicks too much trouble.
