Temporary Chatroom

[StarfoxFan2009]

Chat is temporarily offline for a few days.

While you wait you can use this chat (http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=retrouprising).

The chat user names on the temporary site are not directly linked to our database. Someone can spoof a user name and pretend to be someone else. So don't automatically trust people are who they say they are.

QuakeNet IRC Network - Help (http://www.quakenet.org/help/q/how-to-register-an-account-with-q)

Try getting mIRC (preferably an older version then register)

[Mareeps]

Out of curiosity, anyone know when the old chat will be fixed?

[DrunkN]

Thanks for the help. I got it to work.

[Mareeps]

What's mIRC?

[DrunkN]

I also recommend that we try out using this; tenaomeana - Tinychat (http://tinychat.com/tenaomeana)

Some people (like myself) do game livestreams on this channel, webcam + microphone chat is also supported.

New chat bar at bottom of page. Let's try that for a few days and see how it goes.

Any opinions of the new chatbar?

[Tails]

It's far more better. But you get no notifications if you're say off page and whatnaught.

[Kong]

It should beep when new messages come in and make the title of the tab scroll and the bottom bar should highlight the conversation.

[Tails]

I don't hear beeps on my end though. Using firefox 12.

[Demon-Mask]

The chat bar isn't bad.
I kind of like the option to chat with just one specific person in addition to the chatroom.

You can TOTALLLLY sync the users from the RU db with an irc channel. IRC is so much better FYI. You can create a nick serve too. And maybe everyone doesn't want to use the same handle ? I don't use fungusman on irc, are there serious people retarded enough on this board to play the old "Guess who I am HUEHUEHUE" game ? Your IP address etc are public on irc anyway,

[DrunkN]

There are people who have done that as a small joke, including myself. I think you might have been a little quick to imply that anyone who would have tried it is a social retard.

Anyways, the chat bar is neat, but I definitely feel like there is less effectiveness when presenting myself as ready to chat. It would be better if I saw it used more, I guess.

[XERQ GRANITE]

I ♥♥♥ it, I hope we keep it! ^_6 It makes chatting and sending files to people SOOOOO much easier!!! ^_6 Great job! ^_6


*EDIT*
The chat bar at the bottom I mean ^_6

[Googly Eyes]

I love it!!!! It should stay!!!

[Dudebro]

I've barely used it but I have a few questions.
1. Can I ban someone from it? I didn't see an option.
2. Can you set it so you show as offline when you log in by default?
3. Is there anyway to check messages after refreshing the page?

That last one is because I noticed it said new messages and when I refreshed the page they were gone. I know a couple were from Tails but I'm not sure about all of them.


Welcome to RU Googly Eyes.

[Prinny Saturn]

I very much dislike it. I have found it very glitchy; sometimes I randomly get logged out, sometimes I don't receive notifications, and sometimes the Online list doesn't show anyone on so I can't talk to anyone.

[ndiniz2013]

What happened to it?

[DrunkN]

This may be just me, but I preferred with the last chat room we had.

Everyone else seems to want the original chat room.

[Seahawk]

I liked the IRC chatroom best. It looks minimalist but it grows on you.

The bare bones chat? I agree.

[Seahawk]

You know the room is still there right? People just stopped going after the link disappeared.

QuakeNet Web IRC (qwebirc) (http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=retrouprising)

[Kugyince]

I use Minecraft as the chat.

All posts must begin with the letter "t"!

[Kong]

Went back to the original. Click Chat (http://www.retrouprising.com/chat/) in the main menu at top.

[KATZ]

the link just sends me to the comet chat thing

[Mareeps]

Sends me to original chat, but I can't reply or see any names.

[Kong]

Try it now. If it still doesn't work press Control + F5 on the chat page.

[samejamesbond]

It still isn't working.

[KATZ]

crtl+F5 shows it for me but nothing happens after it shows

[sabby]

It worked when I went in.

[Tails]

No dice here.

[KATZ]

it now works for me

[DrunkN]

It's not working for me quite yet.

[Mareeps]

Nothing yet.

[samejamesbond]

Nothing here.

[Tails]

Still nothing.

[Kong]

Are you pressing Control + F5 on the chat page?

Does this link work?
Chat - Retro Uprising (http://www.retrouprising.com/chats/)

[Mareeps]

Same result as before. Also clicking Logout does nothing.

[Tails]

Same issue.

[DrunkN]

Firefox- I get sent to something that looks exactly like the old layout of chat. i cannot send messages, nor are any names listed. This applies to all channels. Ctrl+F5 refreshes the page but fixes nothing.

Chrome- At first, it lists the page as Cometchat. I press Ctrl+F5 and I'm presented with the same problems as Firefox.

IE- No problems. I'm in old style RU Chat and everything is functional.

It should be noted that Prinny Saturn has Chat working while he uses Firefox, at least.

[joz]

works for me.

[Dudebro]

In FF it loads up but the little button in the upper right stays orange like it's loading or whatever. In IE it loads up and works fine.

[Mareeps]

Still won't work in FF, but loads up perfectly fine on a 3DS, oddly enough.

Also I tried Chrome, didn't work there either.

[Kong]

The only people having trouble are using Firefox right?

If you are using firefox please answer these two questions.

What version of FF?
Does chat work for you in FF?

My answers

[Mareeps]

I'm using FF 13, and no.

[DrunkN]

Fire Fox 12, and mine isn't working.

[KATZ]

FF 9

and now it stopped working for me

[Tails]

12 no

[yoshi_star10]

13, not working for me when i tried

[samejamesbond]

I'm using Chrome, no dice.

[Prinny Saturn]

FF 13, it goes on and off on whether I can use it.

[Kong]

Try it again and press Control + F5 on the chat page. Let me know if it still isn't working for you.

[StarfoxFan2009]

works now for me

[Tails]

Ditto.

[Mareeps]

Works just fine in FF now, didn't even have to ctrl+f5.

[DrunkN]

It works for me as well.

[Dudebro]

Works for me now too in FF.

[samejamesbond]

Works in Chrome.
