Hi there CEP
Your expertise is needed!
The chat site keeps flicking which can be annoying...is there any way to fix it???

That's because it's a web page that refreshes itself, rather than running like other chat software that needs addins to run. The flickering is it refreshing every few seconds.

Hi Merian
Thank you...I was hoping there was a way for it to refresh without the flickering!
No its not possible, you see without asking you to install something to your computer which I would not want to ask you too php chat has to refresh the window, which in IE6/7 means an annoying click when it refreshes.
I am intending on either writing my own ajax chat room or finding an alternative to replace it.

OK CEP, just thought I'd check that's all!
Thanks for letting me know!
Ahhh, so that's all with that flickering. Strange. The chat rooms I've been before didn't flicker...

yes, I found that flickering really annoying. And for some reason it took a couple of seconds to redraw the screen each time.
It probably just doesn't like my Mac.... 
Hmph, except for the flickering, it works nice with my Windows

Yes, both of our computers are powered by Jinpei... and technically they are better than the G3 computers.... 
So Jinpei is better than Jun. I always thought windows is an evil invetion anyway. Bill Gates must be working for Gallactor!

Isnt' it great when we can bring our wackiness to a tech help thread and get Cep laughing? 
Given all the work he does Cep deserves a good laugh or maybe thats a medal for staying sane around us
