robbalvey Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 Hey everyone! I'm in the process of seeing which of several 'chat mods' could work for having a live chat on the boards. I've set up a test mod right now, which should work if you click on this link: *CLICK THE CHAT BUTTON BELOW THE TPR BANNER* I'm looking for the following feedback: Does this chat mod lag? How is it effecting the rest of the boards? What errors are you having? Do you like this mod and the idea of having a live chat? Ok, so far that's it...see you in the chat room and please give us as much feecback as possible. If this chat mod sucks, please tell us!!! --Robb
Hattuchili Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 YES, I was the first testing person with Robb in the chat! It works really good! Hope to see more people in the chat the next times! --Soeren
thrillrider1 Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 It works, but its lacking something, id say visual appeal. other than that its good.
Token Yankee Guy Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 Great to see the Chatroom up. I'm surprised you didn't go for a java type chatroom, this type there is a bit of a delay when you post a message since the webpage keeps refreshing. Other then that, it's fine. Dial Up users might have difficulties since the webpage needs to refresh everytime
robbalvey Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 Ok, so I've just updated the version of the chat to a Java chat room. There is a link Above (look up) that says "chat". CLICK IT!!!! Let us know what you think. --Robb "Once I get a chat mod that's functional, then I'll make it pretty!" Alvey
Hattuchili Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 Hey Robb, the new version is much better! I can change my color, scroll back, and it is much faster! --Soeren
Zingo! Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 pretty coolio, Robb! -scott, who doesn't really need another distraction at work, but is stoked none the less
robbalvey Posted June 4, 2005 Author Posted June 4, 2005 This chat mod will also allow you to see who is chatting. On the front page under "Who is Online" you can get a list of everyone chatting. While you are in the chatroom you can also invite people by using this command: /invite robbalvey That will send a PM to username "robbalvey" to come in and join that chat. What do you all think? --Robb
Dr Freeze Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 I'm getting just a little bit of lag - but I'm at a hotel with "highspeed" internet. Not sure how fast it actually is, so it could be on my end. overall, I like it
socalMAN123 Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 Works fine! No lagging or anything! I've always wanted a chat on this site! This should be really cool and I'm looking forward to someone ACTUALLY being in there at the same time as me. ---Brent 8)
CoasterFanatic Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 I don't know if this board has the option, but some of them have an option that will popup a window when you have a new PM. That would be helpful if it is available.
robbalvey Posted June 4, 2005 Author Posted June 4, 2005 ^ Hmm...not sure if it's a personal option or not, but I know when I get a PM, I get a little window that says "You have a PM...do you want to read it in this window?" Although I know if I have my pop-up blocker on, I don't get those. --Robb "Those are the ONLY pop-ups you will see on Theme Park Review!" Alvey
CoasterFanatic Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 It was an option in the "Personal Profile". I switched it over so it now it probably won't take me a week to notice new messages
Space Freak Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 Yay!!! no Pop ups!! I hate pop ups and I like how you decided not to have any on this site. I wish more people would do the same. But the chat room looks cool man! Too bad the only computer i have access to is at work, and they dont exactly like people doing other things like that with the computer. Thats why I havent been posting in a while! Rob

AllisonY2K Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 I'm not sure if I helped test of the old or new chat mod. It bugged me that it has a timeout feature if you don't say anything for, I think, 20 minutes. Then again it helps keep trolls and lurkers out. In my case I couldn't add anything to the conversation so that's why I timed out.
maliboomer Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 You can see me on there at about 3-5 TPRtime (its an hour behind usual).
robbalvey Posted June 5, 2005 Author Posted June 5, 2005 Hey there everyone! Tonight at 7pm PDT I'd like to conduct a test of the Theme Park Review chat system. Please jump in around 7pm and let's see what happens when we get as many users as possible in there! --Robb "I hope we survive!" Alvey
Millenniumguy Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 I get an occassional HTTP 500 error. Anyone else get those?
robbalvey Posted June 6, 2005 Author Posted June 6, 2005 Hey everyone, In an effort to match the colors of the chat to the colors of the forum, can you all go in and have a look and see if the color scheme works ok? Thanks. --Robb
Coaster Palooza Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 The colors seem to fit in well with the website.
robbalvey Posted June 6, 2005 Author Posted June 6, 2005 The new colors SHOULD look like this...if it doesn't work for you please let me know! You might have to refresh your browser for the new changes to take place. --Robb
robbalvey Posted June 6, 2005 Author Posted June 6, 2005 Ok everyone, So for the most part, the chat room is DONE!!! I've updated the color scheme to match the fourms as close as possible. I've updated the Information and About screens. I've changed some of the smiley codes to make them easier to use. Anything else? Please give me as much feedback as possible...so unles anyone has any negative feedback...the chat room is OPEN!!!!! --Robb "I hope everyone likes it!" Alvey
