chat room

[Dr Bunsen]

Has our chat room ever been a problem for you? I've had reports of people on slow pcs having trouble streaming the radio and I'm considering a replacement so let me know...

Thanks!

[DaftFader]

i never had that problem .. but i think there are alot of better chat room facilitys out there as this one is quite old tech.. so i would say go for it ... (mby we can get teh smileys back :D)

[Angel]

No problems here either.. could use a few smilies though :imgay:

Can you show me some others you like? I'm looking at the same or similar to SJ as it happens...

The software I have in mind at the moment doesn't have smilies I'm afraid...

[Tank Girl]

on the rare occasion I go in - I've not found there to ba any problems........


(do miss the smileys too I'm afraid to say)

[DaftFader]

java? .. what language you want to use?

[Dr Bunsen]

php, and yes java and irc will be the way forward...

[MisterDuck]

could the mods have a "clear chatroom history" button or wiping the current page? occasionally either spam links get posted up there or too much party info talked about. also we cant see who's lurking.

[Dr Bunsen]

if we go to irc / java there will be no history...

[Dr Bunsen]

but mods should be able to edit chat in the current version by double clicking the offending post in the chat window...

[DaftFader]

pjirc seems to be the fav free one atm

[DaftFader]

P J I R C - the best free IRC java applet there is (http://www.pjirc.com/main.php)

This is what I might use...

[Dr Bunsen]

I acutally installed it at one stage a very long time ago but java wasn't very well established at the time and members complained about the prompts to allow the applet to run scaring them...

[Dr Bunsen]

The benefits of PJIRC would be removing some load from the box although it's not much at all. It would also mean being able to chat through a regular IRC client (e.g: trillian or mirc) which is cool. And if party vibe were ever to go offline and I chose not to host an IRC daemon, members could carry on talking during outages which is also quite nice...

[DaftFader]

and it has smileys :P

[DaftFader]

i think you can progam bots into it as well .. so cilla could host the radio shows in the chat rooms :)

[joshd96320]

cilla!

[Dr Bunsen]

Great minds! I was getting ready to say that Cilly will be back...
