Thanks to all those who showed up for last night's chat. As many may have noticed, the server was down for the normal chat client and we were forced to go with a CGI-based backup.

Still lots of fun though and I'm craving Taco Bell like I never had before after the muchie attack seemed to hit everyone on line.

I looked at some nicer, and hopefully more reliable options today for java-based chat ... I really don't want to go with an option that forces people to download anything special.

If you visit the new version of the chat at http://www.piscatorialpursuits.com/livechat.htm - you can test it out a little.

This is another free version that I will upgrade to a more feature-laden version if it seems to work for everyone (we'll give it a test run next Monday night). Has emoticons and sound as well ... the only thing I found a little difficult was private messaging but it still works, it just isn't as apparent that you are receiving a private message as it does not list the "To" portion ... it'll just show up on the screen of the priavte message recipient in another font color.

Please let me know what you think and we'll see everyone again next Monday night from 8 to ... whenever, since this one was still active after midnight as well!

how do we log in bob?

Type your name in the blue text box at the bottom and hit enter ... that's it

I like the different sound commands you can type in, pretty cool. My favorite is the belch sound

Bob, last night was my first experience ever in a chat. Thanks for providing the excellent entertainment! Had lots of fun and ate a ton!

FJ...out.

I can tell right now that I'm going to have to remove the check from the Audio box.

I don't care if you uncheck that box or not Dave ... with our menu the whole west coast might hear us :p :p

Pretty much what we were using before. I don't know though, may have to watch out for guys like Hey Ya'll.....he'll be sending out the closed eye kiss emoticon!?!?!!? Looks pretty cool, I forgot about it last night. Maybe this week.
Good luck and tight lines, Jeff

Bob, that is a really cool version! I especially like the sounds. Only question is how do you make the screen larger? Thanks

when i try to log in it says invalid user name? what is that all about?

I couldn't get on last night Bob, so I took off on errands and didn't see the posted alternate way to get on. Next week should be fun with all those sound options. Should be a lot of fun. Can you put in a 'bad burrito' sound like that from a stall at a Taco Bell?

KS,
After you log on hit the float button then the full screen button. I stumbled onto that when I was messin' with it last night.
Good luck and tight lines, Jeff

Cannot have spaces in your user name, that would give you the Invalid name. And don't worry about Hey Y'all. He don't have one of them computational things at home. He thinks that porn needs to be on glossy pages. What an elitist.
