Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 So here I am in the chat room, and it seems I'm the only one. To join go to /chat , if you get asked to download and install Chat just say yes, it is only java applet and does not install any programs onto your computer.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 I tried but my browser refuses to recognise that I have a java virtual machine installed (I am a Java programmer and actually have several ...) and the automatic download takes me to the Microsoft website which says that automatic install is not supported for XP ..... and the link to the HTML client doesn't work.

Hmm, sadly it doesn't surprise me. Unless other people have had problems you've only missed myself and Andrew. I'm going to see if the VegansUncensored list would be interested in trying one next week.. Incidentally, I don't know if you would be able to try and connect And the HTML client doesn't seem to work for me either. Things were much easier, and still are, much easier using IRC. I know of an applet that works with a particular server and could easily stick up a page somewhere so that people can use that (or a client if they'd prefer). I just don't know if it's worth the effort. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Finally got IE to recognise that I had a Java VM installed, but the page still won't load the applet. Seems like maybe it will only work with the Microsoft VM, mine is Sun.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Well I got it working in the end - I hate giving up on these things. I had to uncheck a box in my IE advanced options and then it was OK ... so maybe next time!

Sorry Pandora, I spent about half an hour with Andrew, then we kind of gave up as we didn't think anyone else was coming. People should feel free to arrange chat sessions at times to suit themselves without me. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its okay. I was late. Was out with the wolves and had to feed the lions when I got home, so I was delayed.People should feel free to arrange chat sessions at times to suit themselves without me.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2002 Report Share Posted September 7, 2002 The subject of chat rooms came up on another Group and so I did a quick test and posted the following message... >I tried accessing the chat room from IE 5.2 on a Mac running OS X.1.5 and >nothing loads at all, even though Java is enabled. > >A look at the one and only help page for Chat does though state that it is >only supported on Windows 95, 98, NT and 2000 though. > >So if you are running ME, XP or another OS entirely then I guess you just >don't count. So much for using java to provide platform independent >applications then. For a VegansUncensored list chat session this week (Wednesday at 9pm again) I'll try and get a web page up with a java IRC client to try in place of the official page. I'll post the URL and a reminder next week in case anyone here would like to join in. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
