Chat room technical difficulties

For what it's worth, I downloaded Google Chrome and it didn't work for me either. I guess I'm 0-3!

As our quotes are going on the chat side......"you might quit now while you are still behind "

Seriously though....I did send the message that I am the only person able to get in. It would be quite lonely chatting with myself......We'll see what they say. Thanks again for the heads ups.....

The technical folks told me that we need to have our own login and password for the chat room, which I guess I was unaware of? So, what I would suggest is just register on it with the same one you use for the board, login, and that should work....but I guess, they are saying we have to create a new login there (is the issue)....I dunno, but if someone besides me, because I am already able to login to it, would do that and let me know, then that would be great...thanks again

Leon: I just tried to register in the chat section. When I entered "kawika" as my username it told me that name was already taken. By me, I guess. I tried again with a different username and was able to successfully register and log on to the chat room.

Thanks for the heads up David. I don't know about all of this technology stuff I was just relaying what the tech folks told me. I guess if you have to register and have a new name and/or password, it's not the end of the world. I could have sworn that we didn't have to do that before. As long as it worked I guess it's ok. Once again, thanks for testing it....also, if anyone else wants to give it a whirl and let me know, it would be great. It really is a fairly innovative chat room...maybe not the best in the world but a lot better than the one on the old board, unless you don't like new technology. regards

I tried to register again and it told me that my user ID was taken. I tried to use my eBay ID and I got the wrong password message. Before it automatically signed you in when you clicked the chat link at the top of the screen so I'm not sure what the deal is.

After trying a couple different user id's it finally let me log in, but it's going to be a bit confusing to tell who's who if you have to have a separate user ID for the board and the chat room.

We were ALWAYS able to just enter the Chat Room as long as we were logged in on the Main Board---One shouldn't have to create a new name & pw--that's crazy!

As I said I didn't really (personally) know, and you are absolutely correct. It was working fine for almost 2 yrs and then all of the sudden.....not working fine. And by working fine I mean you didn't have to have separate credentials, it was integrated and they were the same. The s/w folks (123flashchat) made a change recently and that is most likely what caused this. That chat room has it's own hosting company, separate from the board, but the login should be seamless. We have let them know and will see what they say. My apologies for the issues.
