Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted August 20, 2002 Author Administrators Share Posted August 20, 2002 Yeah I'll tweak the colors and the button tonight. It was getting late and just wanted to make sure everyone was abel to finally use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcahunak Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Hey Jeff, is it still possible to use mIRC, or any other irc client, for the live chat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisus Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Hi all, I just got a tip for the mirc-users: set your nick to highlight and atach a sound to it, that way you'll hear it whenever someone types in your name. A tip for every cga-chatter: if there is no activity upon joining, just type in someone's nick to wake up someone who's fallen asleep... I don't know if this works with you, but it works for me... rgds nisus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeDaCoM Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Jeff... the applet ask me each time I enter to install. I only have to press YES and it works... but I think this is not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you would like to have the applet remember, click the checkbox to say that you always trust the Jpilot software.

Ernest Burden III Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Originally posted by Jeff Mottle: Live IRC chat is here. Just click on the "LIVE CHAT" button at the top right of this page. See you there.Another technology to have running? I'm still trying to keep a lid on apps, too many long nights resolving conflicts in my past. You know, one foot in analog, one in digital. Now, the question here is whether the regular contributors of this forum will post all their wisdom in a live chat and deny the forum these gems? In other words, does this kill the forum, which I think is gaining momentum? Ernest Burden III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted August 21, 2002 Author Administrators Share Posted August 21, 2002 Hey Ernest, I don't think you will have to worry as the chat has never seemed to been hugely popular, even after the release of the online Java client. Pehaps poor marketing on my part, or pehaps most just don't want to communitcate this way, but in either case the type of conversations that occur on the chat are more of a "get to know everyone" rather than sharing tips and tricks.

nisus Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 Hi all, I think the forum and the channel are mediums with a completly other goal, that do not really overlap a lot. Forums are good for reference and later use of a kind of database. Chat is ok to get to know each other a bit and for very very urgent probs. Both got strengths and faults: forum: is a bit slow in reponse, but with the emaili notification it works very fast imho. chat: a great disadvantage is that you have to say things over and over again... it's not for everyone of the community So one does not have to be afraid that one will eventually replace the other. rgds nisus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisus Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hi all, I have serious problems connecting to DALnet. I couldn't connect on #cgarchitect for two days... anyone having the same problems? anyone knows a sollution? tnx nisus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted August 29, 2002 Author Administrators Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hey Nisus, I've been having problems too. I wonder if I need to switch to another network or something. If any of you IRC gurus know, let ME know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 guys.... dalnet been rather busy as of late, thats why you getting serious log on probs. little tip - in the channels and connections options, stay on the dalnet channel but put the server setting to RANDOM. i use this all the time and log on first time 95% of the time. try it.

nisus Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 I did... eventually after about 56hours I got connected... on the java applet... luckily I could see some elses server - /whois - so I'm aboard again... rgds nisus ps: use random Dalnet server IS idd the best way...

nisus Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Hi Jeff, What do you think of putting the 'Live Chat' link inthe taskbar on the cga-frontpage too (instead of only in the forum section)? This could attract more people to the chatbox rgds nisus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizzy Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 and maybe its possible to, instead of guest, have the nick that you log on with to the CGF as a standard in the connection thingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
