I tried the chat tonite. It said there were 12 people on but noone seemed to be responding. I may just have to stick with the forums. I had a question about smoking different meats at the same time.
 
I think the chat room is experiecing technical difficulties,just ask your question in the forum and I'm sure somone will be able to help.
 
I seem to be able to get into the chat room by clicking on the chat now button in the tool bar, but I seem to get no results. It could be a seting of some sort, I realy don't know.
 
Just an FYI..

Chat now seems to be working fine and no one is getting stuck. Use the "Chat Now" link in the top right navbar to enter the chat module.

Just some tips:

If you go in and no one is there, just stay there and leave the window open for a bit. Eventually someone will notice you and come in to talk.

When you are ready to leave, use the red circle with an "X" in it to log out.

Feel free to play with the fonts, colors, backgrounds, etc. to customize it the way you like.

Enjoy!!
 
Glad to hear that Jeff, ty

MotorHedd, you should be able to get into Chat now, for some reason, the Chat login doesn't recognize those with the Premier Membership tag. I just went into the Admin section and listed your Premeir Membership tag as the secondary and retagged your Regestered User tag as the primary.

Jeff is trying to get this fixed, I think that the group that runs the servers are stumped with this problem.
 
A good tip is make sure that In Options in "Sounds" make sure you enable " Other user enters room " This will enable an alert to sound every time someone new enters the room.

Then when you are the only person in the chat room the alert will sound so that you will hear them enter.

Minimize the chat and continue to check out the posts on SMF. When you hear the chat entry sound you can quickly click on it and begin chatting to your hearts content.

Also in Options..... Text..... select "Use my text color for all recieved messages" This way when someone is using a color of text that is hard to read such as pale yellow, pink, or blushing purple etc. your settings will convert it to a more readable color.

When I first logged into chat for some reason my font was set to white with a white background which looked like the chat was off. After tweeking the options I reset the background color and viola there was the chat.

If ddemerath's font was set to white like mine was initially then the other users would not see his posts in chat.


Hope this helps.
 
Good tip. Nice chatting tonight.
