Another new chatroom

[Uisce Beatha]

Laggy for moi.

Rough session.  Has me questioning my ****uality.

Dusty, how is "that wine" the morning after?

 

Ooohh. rough night.

That'll teach me to get plastered and get my chat windows mixed up.

I looked at my list of chatrooms still left to try and they're client-side java applets.   So I think I might leave the current chatroom (x7) up a little longer and make some of the changes requested.  (better smileys, limit font size, make chat window bigger).  I'm hoping the lagginess was just a fluke for some since others seemed to have no problem.

I was using an old, version 1 iMac from home last night.  It struggles with the smileys.  For example, if I open the "[more]" link and leave it running in the background with all those animations it'll dog that machine out until I close it.

So, next session I'll disable smileys if there's a way to do so and report back.  If there isn't a way I'll AdblockPlus 'em.

FWIW, everything was working fine until Clive showed up.

Last night was good for me.

That came out wrong. 

Not really laggy, sucky smileys but most important no xml errors 

[stroh]

Boy howdy!  I'm goin' straight back to the dog.

Ditto the coffee drinking guy.

Who spiked my vodka?

I think there was coke in it.

Chin abused me when the rest of you guys left.

It was great.

Dusty, does the current room have an option for the notifiers?

People come and go and aren't noticed now if people aren't actually in the flow of talking because they are away from the room/screen.

Yes, actually, there is an option for audio notifiers in this chatroom.  Unfortunately, the way they implemented it uses a quicktime plugin for your browser, which may not work for everyone.

I initially took out out the audio notification because I don't have that plugin installed and I got an annoying "missing plugin" error.  But I just put it back in so that we try it out.

I think the phpfreechat room used a small java applet just for playing sounds, which actually worked ok.  We'll see how the embedded quicktime sound works with this room.
