** Keeping a good tradition going - Chatroom open for REA's final night this Saturday
 

Been a long time since I last checked, but I'm happy to say our chatroom is still up and running properly and should be available for our annual gathering for REA's final night this Saturday.

Figured I'd throw a friendly reminder out there now for anyone interested in possibly stopping in. That way, you all have a few days to make sure you can log in ok, have Java installed on your machine, re-teach yourself to use the thing since it's probably been a while, etc..etc..

Remember, the "NEW Chat!" link at the top opens the chatroom and the "Who's Chatting" link will open a popup letting you know which users are present.

And finally, if memory serves, although someone can correct me if I'm wrong here - the chatroom is NOT mobile friendly so it won't work on your iPad or Smartphone or really any device at all unfortunately.

Have fun and enjoy!

Mine isn't working :( .....says I need a something or another.... I am drinking some java but will check that first....

It seems Chrome might not be supported anymore? I bet there is a work-around.

If anyone only wants part of a lot and want to partner or unload the rest please let me know.

Surprised to see this had fallen to page five so quickly
 

I bought a new computer since the last time I used the chatroom so I had to re-install Java, enable it, and then install the "AddonChat" applet. Fortunately, the Chat Applet sort of walks you through all this and assists you in downloading these things. After a few minutes of fiddling around with it, it's working just fine now.

Seems I was using Chrome earlier...but that might have been IE. Will try it again tonight when I'm home....

b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b...boo-ya!

Took an extra look at this just now. Chat is working normally in IE and Firefox at least. IE will ask you to run "AddOnChat" and Firefox will ask you to activate Java, but upon doing so, both take you to the proper room.

I haven't figured Chrome out yet....Chrome is kicking up a "This plug-in is not supported" error message. I'll try to find the time to look at that today.

But for now, just use IE or Firefox and you should be fine

Works Great!! in Internet Explorer. We'll See whomever wants to hang out tonight, tonight.

Oh Well
 

No need for me to stay up, I give up on the John Gochnaurr E107. I hope the winner enjoys it. Lotta money for a SS who hits .185 and makes tons of errors.

Oldest active ballplayer?

Same here, I generally use Chrome as my browser but the chat is only working in IE for me.

As i stated in the other REA thread- i use CHROME and found this FIX
and it works for me now.

dunno...that chrome fix didn't work for me...best of luck to everyone!

Is drinking allowed in chat room ?? :rolleyes:

if you are of age....

Hi all,

I am also having issues accessing the chat room...so I setup a temporary private chat room for people to use on Chatzy:

You can enter at this address with password "reachat" (ie, REA chat, one word, all lowercase):
[link removed after auction closed]

There's no signing up or anything else like to do, so it should be easy for anybody to go chat.

Cheers,
Steve

About 10 of us in the chatroom right now if anyone's interested in joining....

Thanks, Chris!
 

This worked for me - thanks, Chris

So, will the chatroom be up and running for this year's REA?

Not sure right now....

Fiddled around with this a bit this morning. As always, IE and Firefox seem like the two most reliable browsers for this. I couldn't seem to get it going in Safari and the Chrome fix that Chris suggested last year didn't seem to work as I didn't see the "Enable NPAPI Mac, Windows" option that I could enable....

Anyone else give this a shot and access the chatroom?

Rhett, myself and a few others might meet in there after 10. Hopefully I see others in there too...I really don't get to catch up with you guys too often - this is pretty much my only shot :)

Remember a couple things - only use IE and Firefox as I don't think the chatroom works with any other browser/device. Also keep in mind that you can see if people are in the room yet just by clicking on the "Who's Chatting" link in that same row
