First Real Chat

[timvp]

Click on the "Chatroom" link in the above bar between "Members" and "vBookie".

Let's test this out. Hopefully timvp coded it correctly. :drunk

[alamo50]

That is one awesome chatroom!
Looking forward to many chats this season on the way to ring #3!

:smokin

[pooh]

needs a lot of tweaking...won't work here

[Kori Ellis]

Works fine for everyone else.

[pooh]

not for me...it locks up and gives me a warning message about the flash stuff. when I click yes...it freezes up every time. If I say no, nothing.

[Kori Ellis]

Well if your computer can't handle Flash, then that's why.

[pooh]

It can handle flash not something of that size and such...it warns me it will slow the computer down to a halt and it does.

[xcoriate]

come on pooh you want them to change the chatroom cause your computer is shit...

upgrade man, upgrade

[timvp]

Maybe the chatroom is a Spurs fan.

:smokin

[pooh]

Maybe the chatroom is a Spurs fan.

:smokin

Lord I hope not. I'll give it one more shot.

[pooh]

I tried again...no dice.

Here is the message I get:

A script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flash Player 7 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?

If I hit yes, the browser begins to flicker and shows a bunch of small words and boxes. If I click on no, I get a black screen and a half image of Duncan, then it stops totally.

[Kori Ellis]

Like I explained to you, your computer doesn't have enough memory to handle it. There's nothing I can do about that.

[pooh]

Oh well *shrug*

[IcemanCometh]

theres no one there what a crappy chat

[ShoogarBear]

Crashed on me initially running from Opera. Trying from IE now and seems fine.

[Kori Ellis]

Everyone should run it IE. Despite the high percentage of people in this forum on other browsers, 98% of the internet world still uses Explorer. So most software is not perfected for anything else.

[ChumpDumper]

It was a complete memory pig in Firefox. Didn't try it in IE, but you're probably going to need more than 256mb to run chat, the Ticket's feed and Yahoo GameChannel like I was trying at work.

[Kori Ellis]

Pooh has like 25MB RAM. There's nothing I can do for him short of buying him a computer.

[orhe]

it worked fine w/ firefox. haven't tried it w/ IE

[Rick Von Braun]

Everyone should run it IE. Despite the high percentage of people in this forum on other browsers, 98% of the internet world still uses Explorer. So most software is not perfected for anything else. Hmm... I beg to differ. Of all end users, less than 90% use some variant of a MS OS. So that's at least 10% of Unix and Mac users that don't have IE. In addition, several MS users use some browser other than IE, such as Opera, Firefox, Mozilla, etc.

I am not complaining... if I cannot chat in here, though luck.
As you can see, I am not very fond of MS products http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smielephant.gif

P.S.: I have 384MB on a dual boot window box at home and I still get the flash thingy consuming too many resources from time to time, even when using IE :cry

[timvp]

So you can't get in, RVB?

[spurster]

It worked fine on Mozilla (a Firefox cousin).

[Kori Ellis]

That's weird. I'll try to research why you get that, only a few people have that problem. We'll see what we can do.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I didn't notice any real drag on resources using Firefox.

Pooh's Computer

[Kori Ellis]

Yeah there are people in the chat right now on Firefox. So it's not incompatible totally with Firefox.

[ducks]

I guarantee you more then 2% uses browers other then ie
but it works on a mac
and works with firefox

pooh pm me

[Kori Ellis]

We just changed some settings to help some of your memory usage.

Also make sure that you have the latest version of Flash.

[ducks]

I installed flash 7.0 on a laptop computer I am fixing for a customer
has 192 memory
500 mobile processor and it could not handle it

it is not my computer so I do not care. It works on my mac and my laptop has 256 memory so it should work on it.

[SpursWoman]

Close all of your porn first, Pooh, and free up some memory. :fro

[Rick Von Braun]

I am at the office right now (yes, I know I should get a life, but it's a deadline :-(

I have a dual processor 1GB ram box with Linux + Mozilla + flash 7.0 r25 and I cannot get in the chat. The mozilla process consumes 100% of one of my cpus.

At home I've been able to use the chat in the past, when booting on Windows and using IE, but sometime after a while, flash complains about excesive usage resource.

Anyway, not a big deal. Thanks to Kori and timvp for all your effort in providing us all these great resources!

Good nite

[Kori Ellis]

Well we are making adjustments to the settings, but your case seems extreme. Hopefully we can adjust some stuff and make it work for you.

[ducks]

yes thanks for all the work you two put in this site


it takes alot of time and effort


I KNOW

[iminlakerland]

Chat works for me

[MI21]

I can get into it on a Dial Up connection, using Mozilla on a PC with 64MB ram and 600mhz.

:)

[alamo50]

"Close all of your porn first, Pooh, and free up some memory"

:lol

[Kori Ellis]

Anyone having trouble with it hogging too much memory should:

- Verify installation of Flash plugin 7.0.19 (right click in Flash and select About ... )
- Delete all old Flash cookies (Application Data/Macromedia/Flash Player)
- Update to latest MozillaFirefox 1.0 RC1 (if applicable)

We also adjusted some different settings, so that should help.

Thanks.

[pooh]

I installed Firefox last night and tried to get in there...still nothing. Oh well.

[timvp]

Pooh -- You don't have enough memory to run it.

[pooh]

Well I figured I'd give one more shot and it failed. Oh well, there's always OAI and Yahoo.

[ChumpDumper]

And there's always crucial.com, too.

It's worth prying open the wallet.

[Hook Dem]

Thanks Tim & Kori for your continuing good effort! :princess :fro

[xcoriate]

Hmm, works fine for me in opera.

I'm using the 7.60 Technical Preview Release though
http://my.opera.com/community/dev/tp/760/

So any opera users having trouble upgrade to that and should work.

[MI21]

Well I figured I'd give one more shot and it failed. Oh well, there's always OAI and Yahoo.

Cool.

:)

[Shelly]

I demand that you change chat just for pooh!!!!

[Slomo]

^^^ :lol

[mouse]

I went to the Flash website and read that only computers of fans that have a shot at the playoffs can enter the chat rooms.http://www.sahoops.net/smilies/lmao.gif
