VaBeachGuy 12 Posted March 30, 2003 Ok, I've been working tonight to get Live Chat added to the site. Since we haven't reached a level yet to justify me paying $75 to $150 to add the chat that goes with the board I've signed up for a free service. I don't know how well it will work, or if it will work at all. But it's on the main page, and I set it so you can stop the music from playing also. Try it out and let me know if it works for everyone. If you get a blank white screen you may need to refresh the screen or log off then log back on the first time.

Indy 8 Posted March 30, 2003 Maybe somebody can schedule a chat time, so we know when other members will be there. That way, those of us who want to can meet and get to know one another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted March 30, 2003 That's a good idea to set up times to be there. I'll watch for someone to set a time so I can be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrskirk 0 Posted March 31, 2003 While I agree that setting times for chat may be a good one, don't you think it may be a little difficult to coordinate? After all, we have people from different states and different countries, and that makes for a lot of different time zones. And many of us have jobs or attend school, so we are online at many different times. I, for one, have an unusual work schedule. I work the evening shift, and my days off are Thursday and Sunday. But, what the heck, it's worth a shot. Let me know when it will happen and I will try to patricipate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lubak10 0 Posted April 3, 2003 We should defenetly set a time. Whenever I go there no one is there. Very annoying when I'm bored and want to talk to a fellow trekker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted April 11, 2003 I've added a new chat feature, to use it you have to have AIM though. To download AIM follow the link below: http://www.aim.com/ Once AIM is installed just click the Chat button at the top of the board and you're in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ktrek Posted April 11, 2003 I didn't like the old one but I'm not very fond of anything AOL. I wish we had a good javascript chat or even IRC channel. Ktrek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 8 Posted April 11, 2003 Trillian combines different chat networks, so you have only one control panel. http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/trillian/index.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted April 11, 2003 I'm working on finding a good free Java chat installed. The AIM chat is just a temporary deal. The other chat still works too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lubak10 0 Posted April 12, 2003 Is anyone else haveing trouble getting into the chat room or is it just me? It's probably my computer but I was wondering if anyone else was haveing problems too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted April 12, 2003 I tried it and you are right, there is a problem with the OLD chat room. VGB posted a link into a NEW chat room somewhere, I have been searching the forums for it with no luck. Hang in there, VBG will see this thread eventually and respond. Sorry for the inconvenience :blink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ktrek Posted April 12, 2003 Here guys!! You first must download and install AOL instant messenger. Here is a link for it:AIM DL HEREOnce installed all you have to do is click chat at the top of any startrekfans.net webpages. Got it?? Ktrek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted April 12, 2003 Here guys!! You first must download and install AOL instant messenger. Here is a link for it:AIM DL HEREOnce installed all you have to do is click chat at the top of any startrekfans.net webpages. Got it?? Ktrek I wish it were that easy. Every time I have tried to register it gives me a registration error and tells me to try again. Then after 3 tries it tells me to wait 24 hours. Arrrggg! Do you have to have AOL or Netscape to sign up for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ktrek Posted April 12, 2003 Takara, Hmmm! I never had any probalem. I just downloaded it, installed , registered and VOILA! The only problem was Ktrek was not available so I had to go with Ktrek101. You don't need Netscape or an AOL account to use it. I have neither! Ktrek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted April 12, 2003 I'll try again. I have had the name rejection thing but I also got a couple of other reasons too that I can't remember. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poguemahone 0 Posted April 23, 2003 Since the next few episodes of ENT should be really good, let's try to make Wednesdays a real event, with a live chat. From start to end, we got the chat feature so let's use it. The Chat room currently runs using AOL's Instant Messager. So if you don't have it, and want to join the "fun", click here to get AOL Instant Messager Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted April 23, 2003 Great idea but I can't participate. If I leave the PC on while ENT is recording (VHS) a "HUUUUM" will record onto the master. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poguemahone 0 Posted April 23, 2003 For those who can't be on during the show, it will be going all night (actually if you think about it it's going on right now) it's a "fun" way to watch it or talk about it afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ktrek Posted April 23, 2003 I wouldn't mind coming to chat after the episode has aired but not during it. I want to watch it without any distractions. Ktrek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
