I don't think I will be using the chat. I'm just happy to be here posting my videos  ;D |

Crashdearie, a chat room is particularly good for scheduled meetings, like the weekly prayer chats I would like to set up one of these days soon. Several people gather, someone leads off the prayer, everyone chimes in as they feel led. I've done this before elsewhere and I miss it something fierce. In fact, I firmly believe just such a prayer chat saved my life some years back. I was driving long distance completely exhausted and I fell asleep at the wheel, doing 65 mph. SOMEthing woke me up with a start just as my van was headed for the rock face that bordered the road. I stopped, pulled over and slept for an hour, then made it safely home. That same day I described what happened to my best friend Lynne (also a member here now), and she asked me what time it happened. I told her, and she got very quiet, then explained that that was the same time she had been leading prayer chat and the prayer was specifically for safe travels for me that day. Chat meetings are also great for group discussion of something that affects the members, or just a few people who find it faster than back-and-forth PMs. I especially wanted to be able to provide this optional service for the members here, so I hope you folks find it useful. Thanks for the explanation. You've got to keep in mind that I'm an analog guy living in a digital world.  |

Hmm I seem to remember some fairly good explanations regarding software on the former St.  |

I finally made it work. I had to close the browser, restart it, and restore the session; only then was I able to enter the chat room.

For some weird reason, no matter what I do, it just gives me the option to start up a chatroom for the site. I guess I will just not use the chatroom...oh well.

When I tried it a thing popped up saying I had to install active x but when I tried to install it my computer blocked it .I tried to adjust settings but it still wouldn't let it thru This is what's happening to me, too. I've even told my computer to allow it through but it still blocks it, all of it's own accord, apparently.... |

Ok, I got around it. If you've never done it before and are running Windows, you have to open your browser and go to www.java.com and download the browser itself directly from java's site or Windows won't allow you to use their software. Most browsers(and apparently older versions of Windows, since I've not done this before and have used java chat rooms on every pc I've ever owned since the internet) will download it automatically the first time you go to enter a java chat room, but apparently Windows doesn't trust those auto dl's and wants you to do it manually. At least that's what it told me to do and it worked... |
