View Full Version : Chat!
Hola,
By request, Bodies Like Ours now has a fully functional chat house on board. I need to build the registration page so that you'll be able to "lock-in" your user name via password protection. In the meantime, go ahead and chat away; you just won't be able to "lock-in" your user name.
In the meantime, have fun with it. You may want to PM others to arrange a preset time to chat in real-time. Or maybe it would be best to set a time, like 8pm everynight or something? Let me know.
Please take a minute to read our Chat Guidelines (http://www.bodieslikeours.org/chathouseguidelines.html) . You'll find a link to the Chat House on that page.
In the near future, I'll link to it from the actual Bodies website for easy access and get the registration area up and going.
Let me know if you have any problems, particularly with your individual screen resolutions causing problems. You can adjust certain user options by right clicking on the screen area. If you have problems, try that first. If that doesn't fix it, let me know (including your screen resolution) so I can tweak it.

oh ya shure big secret chat,i didnt even have the chance to say i know a secret about BLO...thank for acting so fast .....your good!!!!!beach
yah...snow days have a way of doing that to me...:o
Hope you enjoy...I'm currently trying to figure out how to insert a bit of javascript on the main page (www.bodieslikeours.org) and on the forum home page that will let you know if anyone is currently in chat. Considering they are forecasting 8-12 inches by tomorrow in my little part of the universe, I should be successful!

Please don't add that godawful java crap. It slows my computer tremendously.
Andi
java and javascript are different beasts, so don't worry, Andi.
Glenn
Thanks Glenn for noting that.
And I'm not having any success finding script that works for what I wanted to do. Support for the chat provider doesn't have a solution at this time (although they noted they get many requests). I'm hoping that maybe someone in another geek forum I frequent will be able to help.
Betsy
I went to the chatroom just after posting my previous comment. I noticed that has a ton of java crap already. I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just noting it.
Andi
Hi Andi,
The chat I installed is Java based. Unfortunately, I needed to do a chat hosted on another server as our webhost (Futurequest) does not allow server based chat such as IRC on their shared servers. What operating system are you using that slows you down so much with Java?
Betsy
Since we have this new chat room, let's make use of it. Currently, I can be availiable most evenings (CST).
Andi
I'm good for either Wednesday, Thursday or Sunday night most weeks.
How about others?
As Andi said, we got it, so now we should use it.
Betsy
I work Graveyard shift , so in the evenings I am sleeping, The AM works good for me EST.

I've gone into the chatroom a few times, just to see. Every time I do there's nobody else in there (not that I really expected anyone). Anyway, I was wondering: does anyone intend to use it? As I said before, evenings are usually good for me. But I've been having some computer problems lately so I don't know how much longer this thing will last, but if I can get online I would for a chat if there was going to be a good number of people in here.
Well, other than that I just wanted to post something & let everyone know I'm still alive ;)
Wishing everyone the best,
Andi
i would be there but my #$@<hidden>%&*%$# chat wont work!!!!! beach been iming a lot
Can only registered members use the chatroom or can anyone get in?
Andi
Hi Andi,
Currently, anyone can get into the chat room (and I wish some would!)
Eventually (hopefully sooner, rather than later) I am going to password protect it, and build a couple of private areas as well. Those too will be password protected. Part of that will involve a listserv I will be setting up for members who want to participate to mass mail eachother to arrange "dates".
I hope to get the first part done relatively soon, like within the next few weeks. I've fallen way behind on a couple of projects and other updates for the site and just need to sit down and get them done, along with all the other Bodies stuff I have stirring!
Betsy
What time does the most people use chat?
btw, Betsy, need any assistance setting this stuff up? I would be glad to help.

Hi Tracy,
Write me offline from here and I'll tell where I'm having a problem. Thanks!
Betsy
Please take a moment to read this:
http://support.raidersoft.com/freechat7b.html If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, you may find some solutions.
Tracy is also helping me make it more secure. Right now, it's pretty much open to whoever stumbles on it.
I've also been bugging the developer of the program to write some code that will show who, if anyone is in the chathouse before you go in.
