Subject: Chat room??? Anyone want to see if this works?

Written By: ChuckyG on 09/05/05 at 6:32 pm

DOES NOT WORK IN INTERNET EXPLORER!!!! or Opera.

Firefox or Safari and some of the Linux browsers (no one uses those do they?)

http://inthe00s.com/chat/

It's called AJAX IM, it uses advanced browser functionality (Javascript, DHTML, etc) and doesn't require you to install software on your computer to use.

That is, if it's properly configured.  I need a few volunteers to try testing it so I know.  If you don't see anyone right away, just hang around and wait.

I have Internet Explorer... so it wouldn't let me in.  The only other browser I have on my computer is Netscape.. I'll try that and see if it works.


Modified to add:  my netscape won't even let me onto inthe00s.com.  as soon as i go to this site and the page starts to load, i get the infamous "illegal operation and needs to shut down" error.

Should I try deleting my netscape and downloading a new one??  I've had this computer for a few years and I had never used netscape before today.  I tried upgrading, not sure if it upgraded correctly though. :-\\

I'm in now.. not sure what the first problem was. Nobody else in there so i can't really tell you how it works. I'll keep it open and see if anybody logs in.

you need to create a new account, your username/password doesn't work from here.

Odyssey: Netscape is ancient history.  Uninstall it and try Firefox

Yup, took me a minute to come to that conclusion.

Yeah Andrea, firefox is outstanding, it beats the pants of IE any day of the week.

P.S. I stopped using Netscape in 2001

We have Javascript on our other computer.  If my husband ever stops playing his games I'll try it there.

maybe it doesn't work still?  I haven't had the time to try troubleshooting it further.

O well, thanks for nothing I guess - IE is all I got. And I'm not planning on installing anything else for this sole purpose.
So I guess you'll just have to chat without me. :-\\

I have been there a few times but no one has been there when I am there.  :\'(  I also noticed that when I have it a window open to it, everything else is slow-it is like my typing is sticking.

You mean we have to type in buddies just to see if they're there?  I was just on there using Firefox.  I go by Adagio on there.

Subject: it does work

Written By: ChuckyG on 09/08/05 at 9:46 am

but you need to know the name people picked.  It works less like a chat room, and more like an IM messenger.  It will save your buddy list.
