The page loads okay for me, but if that is the problem I will see what I can do about it. If it was that no one turned up, well... Maybe people should state before hand if they are going to go at a particular time. Probably if people had known you would be there they would have gone, otherwise people just forget/think no one else will turn up. Of course if people don't care about the chat room I can stop the reminders being sent? Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 The page appeared but there was nowhere to enter a name or type a message. Tried it last week sometime about an hour after the advertised time & could do that. Of course there was no-one else there by then - so I just chatted to myself for a while! Maybe one day a few people will turn up together, and it could be good for new vegans. I don't mind the reminders turning up - they're easily deleted after all.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 ! was their for about 5 min at 9.25 and 9.35 but no-one came . It seems too difficult to me It wouldn't accept my name as angie It kept saying there was already another person under that name . I seem to have managed to register twice as well . I find the message board easier fwiw Would've forgot but luckily my alarm went off! But loaded the page & nothing happened.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 >The page appeared but there was nowhere to enter a name or type a message. You do need to wait for it to appear, and I noticed yesterday that it threw up a box asking if I trusted the certificate signer - that never used to happen. I'm wondering if that is why it didn't work for you? I clicked yes and then everything continued as usual though. Would be annoying as the reason for using that over the page is to get away from those types of problem. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately when you are given the option of registering usernames the good ones go quickly. I did try and warn that would happen, but it's just the same problem you would have with joining a messageboard or even !. >I find the message board easier fwiw It depends what you are doing though. Personally I prefer email lists to message boards, but really all three (including chat) are very different, and have different benefits and drawbacks. It's a shame no one turned up or you would have seen how chat is supposed to work. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 I left it loading for ages - I'm on broadband so no problem there. but nothing happened after the main page appeared and "Done" was showing in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Not to worry, I might try again one day.
