Being the computer dope that I am, I could not get into it. I found the link, clicked it, and saw a screen with a transcript of a conversation between John and someone (Woozey...?), but I could not figure out how to insinuate myself into the chat.

First, you have to be logged in the Forums. Since you saw the conversation, you must be logged in. Second, at the bottom, there is a space where you type what you want to say. Then click POST.

That's all there is to it.

Sabotaged by low-tech.

As El Comandante knows, I'm traveling and using whatever computer I can beg time on. This one has a maximum screen resolution of either 640x480 or 800x600. The Chat screen came up in tile mode rather than maximized, and the tile was much larger than the screen would display. Clicking on "Maximize" straightened it out.

Thanks.

I like the chat room.

I wish the current user list would only show those that are actually in the chat room.

Hey John,
I like it, but it keeps refreshing, likes its reloading, hard to follow, but otherwise I think it will be a good thing. I like it.

That's the way it is showing you the new messages. Can't be done any other way, without having special server software (IRC) etc. Refresh happens every 10 secs., so it shouldn't be too problematic. I thought of taking this up to 30, but then it's not on-line conversation, is it?

Nope, everyone can select the color he wants (at the moment). Go to the preferences and define the color you like. I can't promise you that it will remain like that, but.....
