    Default Do we have chat?

    I'm sorry to be so clueless, but do we or will we have Chat here? I see it's still at the old address, but that's, um, the old address.

    Chat is at the bottom of the board index! Look below the forums. There should be a big gray box that says something to the effect of inactive chat.
    I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.

    Nope. There isn't.

    Well, I figured it out. I can be pretty dumb. Sorry.

    Silly people. There's no chat here.
    So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.

    What did you have to do to get in. Skald is also having a problem.

    So you go down to the very bottom of the page. And there is a thing that says, "Welcome to the trunk line" and you type in there and then hit "go".

    I must say it's not the most obvious thing I ever saw.

    Thanks, we'll relay this to everyone else I hope.

    Funny, I was chat-enabled the moment I arrived, and was listed as being in the chat room automatically. But I don't *want* to see chat.

    I did figure out how to make it go away, though.

    Very wise one look and you'll be turned to stone.

    Sorry about that. A few odd things in the import and setup.

    Allo I'm not seeing any chat anywhere on the board. It's clearly something amazingly obvious that I am just missing.

    Well, it's setup so that no one with 5 posts or less can see it. So if you post 3 more times, it should appear.

    Scroll down on the index and see where it says, "The Trunk Line Click the -----> + sign to enter."? Across from there on the far right is a tiny gray "+". Click on that to open the window, then go to the bottom of the window and either type something in the submit box (that long rectangle) or hit the green Recycle button (the 2 arrows).

    I'm on the Index page - Left? Right? Top? Bottom?
    Nope, not seeing anything that says "Trunk Line Click the ---> Sign To Enter"

    Do I need to use another skin?

    Ok, scroll down past all of the forum names, past a green bar that says "Private", then there's a green bar that says "Mark Forums Read" and "View Forum Leaders". It should be below there.

    If you still can't see it, I'm afraid Jim will have to take a look. :/

    I think we only have the one skin so far.

    I don't think so. But just out of curiousity, what skin are you using?

    Nope, After the Forums Read and Forum Leaders, is a white space and then a green bar that sasys What's Going On and below that is the members online list.
    I'm using the skin with a light gray background and wide dark green bars. I couldn't figure out how to change skins, at any rate.

    Well, we can certainly converse without chat.

    *pats seat of chair* Come sit over here with me. I've got some tea steeping, otherwise I can make you some coffee and there's sodas in the fridge. There are snacks on the counter. Help yourself. Now, how's your day been?

    Could depend on your browser. With SeaMonkey I just got a blank grey area (along with a lot of other problems)
    Firefox/Shiretoko/Epiphany are all OK with it.

    Seriously? It doesn't work in Seamonkey, but it works fine in Shiretoko? That's sort of bizarre. One would expect them to render the same way.

    Some times chat doesn't show up at all for me. And at other times I just get the loading screen for about ten min. Even though all I can see is the loading screen my test chats show for everyone else. Chat also lags real bad when I do get to see it.

    If it helps at all, it is much easier to avoid now. In the UCP, you can select to not load chat and will never have to see it at all.

    Can you please describe the problems?

    I know full chat resolved it for you before. I need some idea of what is wrong to try and fix it.

    I'm seeing what I think is a sticky post at the bottom of chat, from WhatExit, about reporting problems 'in this thread.'
    It's dated the fifth of this month. Is it supposed to be there all the time? Can I make it go away?
    You know what your problem is? You're like one of those diseased fish at the pet store that has to be kept in its own separate little tank all by itself. The only problem is you're still with all the other fish.

    It is indeed a sticky. Once you expand chat with the + sign, just scroll the chat window up a little and my post will be hidden.

    We are really try to clean up bugs and need them reported to that thread, thus the sticky. It will be gone in a few more days.

    Nope, it's always there. It's only mildly annoying, but if it'll be gone soon, I can live with it.

    So you have to be logged in to see chat?

    So, like, chat isn't public? :dub:
