I logged onto chat to be put in the room with a conversation from a previous turnout. Has anyone else had this?

this new chat is lousy you have to log on to see if anyones in... my screen wont show everything you cant scroll backwards to read what previous users have said go back to the old I say

To be honest I think I'll look for a decent one, possibly one I have to purchase.

Sorry did not mean to cause a problem it was just weird logging into chat to see a conversation with Cep, Tengu Buffy etc I included a piece of it and I am sure all members present at the time will verify I was not there. Heh I was at work trying hard not to fall asleep as I was and still am exhausted. Tengu has left the room Buffy[3:42:45]: hi you Buffy[3:42:48]: sorry about that. Buffy[3:42:56]: my computer kabitzed lyon has left the room cep has entered the room cep[4:22:14]: *knock knock* Buffy has left the room cep[4:31:40]: *sniff armpits* nope they don't smell funny *shrugs* cep has left the room and another part i got on entering lyon has left the room Buffy has left the room cep has entered the room cep has left the room with a two cans of whitewash cep has left the room Buffy has left the room Tengu has left the room Buffy considers whitewash Buffy[2:43:26]: paint paint paint Buffy[2:43:32]: blinks.... Buffy[2:43:38]: now it's back blue again. Buffy[2:44:07]: bugs in the works. Evil buggies. Buffy has left the room Katse has entered the room I actually got one very long session but I thought it better to just show an example in the hope you will see what i mean

Well the chat is set to infinite so thats the reason. However not sure what to do about chat at the moment can never find a set of chat programs anywhere

Well, it's still better than the old one, in my opinion. No lag, sounds when someone posts, enters, leaves, etc, opens in a new window, which doesn't take long to load. Of course chat rooms that one buys are better...that's why they're not free.

no lag? dunno about you Elvin, maybe you're just operating a little slower than the rest of us (grin) but there's a rather annoying lag for me, even when i lower the refresh rate so that the cursor flashes like an insane firefly. its still better than the old one, but damn, you have to remember not to say anything uncomplimentary about anyone just in case they log in later and catch you at it posthumously!

lol well the expiry for messages is now 4 hours. Anyway you can create private rooms for such things. And I don't get any lag either Lyon, can only be your connection

sigh. Using the php chat, (yes, with Explorer), everything going well for most of an hour. Then, about two minutes ago, I'm typing in a sentence, and I notice the Send button is greyed-out, as in, inactive. And, not sure, but think my last line never arrived. So, I click Exit, it sends me back to the "sign in to chat" page, telling me that there's one person chatting (the person I was talking to), and lets me sign in no probs. This has happened several times with this chat. Not a killer, but a definite inconvenience. Any ideas? Cricket

Unless the cookies this chat program uses timeout I dunno hopefully I will set up an IRC channel for us instead.

that php is better than the other.
