Chat Room?
Highly likely. Let me work on it
Woo Hoo!!
Chat's great, so long as the history isnt saved anywhere
Oh no, the full transcript must be available.
ugh..... no way could I deal with you people in real-time....

What if the chat room had paisley background? Would that be surreal enough for you? BTW, I found amongst the inchlings hoard of Lesney matchbox cars from a consignment shop a 1968 Mustang with, yes, graphic daisies.
Ask nicely and I'll scan it to Doodads.
:p
well, yardboy, I might consider it if you back-projected images of the Shea Stadium concert.....
Oh no, the full transcript must be available.
No no noooooooo!!!!
Often, whatever I am thinking just appears on the screen in front of me without conscious thought....thats not good in real time.
lol.... nice one, yardboy....
(forgives the anachrosm of a 68 mustang at the shea stadium concert.., 'cos I know your heart is in the right place (probably Height-Ashbury circa '67))
Beta test a chat room
Your privacy cannot be guaranteed. You will have to reenter your user name for now. I can integrate it later. Assume that the log will be posted. We should vote on that. In the meantime this is just a test thanku.
Decent little chat script you've got. I haven't checked out the source but it shouldn't be too hard to make it use the forum username. A suggestion would be you HAVE to be logged into the forum to use it, otherwise someone could easily impersonate another.
Just so you all know... I will be touching myself.
How good are you at typing with one hand???
Hmmm...just went into the chat room and it's not letting me post
Really?? maybe its heard about you?
lol...I doubt it. It should be grateful though. Without us, it wouldn't even exist today!
can you see stuff in there?
yeah...just can't post any messages. I"m thinking it's probably not working now and was just up for a test before. I'm sure it'll be sorted soon enough...or I'll figure out what I"m doing wrong. ;)
entertaining. The green skin makes me all nostalgic.
wolf n I can post ...ner ner na ner ner
I can't post either. But maybe that's because it doesn't think I've typed anything--my little character count stays at zero no matter what I've typed. It also doesn't show that anyone else is in there, but that may be true now.
Different bug now: I closed everything to go put my kiddo back down to sleep, and came back and re-opened the Cellar. Now when I enter my username to get into the chatroom it says that username already exists. I do use the "keep me logged in" cookie for the main board, if that makes a difference.
This chat is not surviving its beta.
FWIW, the effort is appreciated, I think a chat function would be neat.
The chat would be really cool! But I had the same problem that Clod had.
I cant seem to access the chat room with my 45 caliber, bicycle mounted shoe phone/web surfer.
Damn it all. :(
My friend Coz runs the Tally Hall fansite HiddenInTheSand.com, and the chat function there is wonderful. It's from
http://www.tufat.com/
EDIT:
http://www.tufat.com/s_flash_chat_chatroom.htm, but it's five bucks.
EDIT 2: the current cellar chat has no log out feature, too, which is the reason clodfobble cant sign back in.
I logged in several times trying it out last night with no problems.
It sensed your super powers....Chuck Norris wouldn't have trouble either.;)
I can't keep logged in the Cellar via Opera. I don't even have regular powers!
I could log in, and type in the typing line, but it wouldn't post what I typed. Then, when I got out, I couldn't get back in 'cause it said I was already there.
Jeez, I go away for less than 24 hours and look what y'all do.
How about a plain old IRC server, with a browser-based client for those who can't/won't install a client of their own. It would be super if it would authenticate against the existing Cellar username/password database, but I'm sure that's way more easily said than done.
We already have a lot of security problems w/o opening up IRC, is my sense of it.
I will look for better chat software. I would like to do it without Java. It seems to me that chat is the perfect AJAX application.
Ooooooooooooooh golly! I haven't been in a chatroom for years ... :3_eyes:
Hmmm strange, I went in and out, in and out like a bad porn movie and posted my little head off (to myself mainly, but with wolf too......well...LJ posted "cock!" but thats it).
I do think we need to log in with passwords though (preferably), you can sign in as anything the way it is at the moment.
Ohhh....second thoughts....that has a lot of fun potential!!
I run an IRC network if you want to setup camp there Undertoad, let met know and I'll give you the details.
UT...can you try opening a room at chat-forum.com I can access those rooms.
