Me no unna stan how wook. Me no can tok.

Alright Braniac, then you need to change your username.

I'm leaving this active for the rest of the night - enjoy...

-Wayne

Wayne, I played...loved it, but can't hang in too long...it's sooo fast! But if a permanent thing? A place on the home page we can click to, please....

It keeps crashing my machine....maybe when my new Dell shows up....

As if I didn't already spend enough time at the Pelican board! http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/wink.gif

Good job wayne as we have a better chat room. on keeping it that way id say no there must be a better one out there.. to me its weird.. here are my thoughts

1.The way it shows up when someone enters makes the page jump down.. also with everyone having the same font u cant read it all very good...

2. Seems just a little plain.. maybe im just ranting over nothing but to me i see yahoo,aol,icq to be a little better. dont know how they work but it should b something that is up always and just a place to talk. would still have the bbs for technical questions.

so who knows does anyone agree.. number 1 is my only real thing i think.

Wayne...when I click on the link, it tries to open a page and gives me a window saying I need to download software. It says it's 4.8 megs and will take 42 minutes!
And even when I click on "download" it says it cannot download to specified path ...something something something...
ARGGG!

Hmm..welp, I'll probably be in here tomorrow at work for sure! Way cool http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/smile.gif

Wayne, can you set the font just a little bigger? I have a 20" screen and it still looked a little small. Would be kinda cool to have a vote on topics poll page and have certain nights devoted to certain topics @ a set time.

LeLand, you need to get DSL...

That's a good idea, Mike. If a weekly or nightly topic and time could be set here on the BBS, everyone who's interested could log on.

I am starting to keep the window open, although last time I tried it, I was alone.

Wayne,

Worked fine this morning! Thanks much!

JA

Wayne,
Seems to work fine. I'm on a Mac, OS 9, and a 56k modem.....

Works great.
It'll be interesting to see it running with "bunches-o-members" logged on together.

Well, screw you guys because I can't get on and talk too. http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/frown.gif

There is no DSL service up here and there are no plans to bring it for another 2 to 3 years.

Damnit...I bug and bug everyone that we need a new chat room than I can't even get on it! ARRG!

Leland,
It cant be a DSL problem because I dont have DSL and I can connect just fine. Im using 56K. Try to see if its anything else. Or maybe you just have to download the software.

I get this message:

Trying to reach www.pelicanparts.com [6667]. Please Wait...
IRC server actually unreachable. [R]

Guess I'll try again later....

Leland download the Java. You can't be slower than the string i have in the ground. 56k running at 21k. I couldn't read it much faster than the members were writing.

Good Luck

Wayne - worked fine for me on 56k from Hong Kong.

Agree with others - its a little hard to read.

Is this to be a generic chat line for all Porsche people - when I was on, there was the usual BS 911 vs 944 - rather tiring really...maybe need two chat lines for these models?

Definitely see potential for discussion topics on scheduled days/nights - would be cool to be able to have a guest speaker eg a race driver in the Carrera Cup or something similar - good promotion opportunity in magazines such as Excellence and 911 & Porsche World if this was promoted ahead of time - great promo for race driver/sponsors and of course Pelican - just a thought!

Cheers, Mark

Wayne- works great, just talked to a couple guys from AU who were rebuilding a 2.7. Thanks!

Good job with the chat room.

Leland, i'm on cable, and if there is anything I can do to help just let me know.

This appears to be an IRC set up and creating different channels is VERY basic, infact Wayne can even change the setting so that anyone can make a channel on whatever subject they want (I think)

Anyways, good stuff!

Ok, final version installed for now. I didn't write the software, so I can't really change it right now. If someone finds a better Java applet, let me know, this is the first one I came across...

-Wayne

Help me test again, where is everyone?

-Wayne

Whooops, the link at the top was old, I just updated it...

-Wayne

So what do you think? Useful, or a waste of time?

-Wayne

Waye - getting error page not found, is it down now?

Michael

Wayne,

I think it's extremely helpful. Imagine getting real-time responses to tech questions during our rebuild! It works fine from Australia on a cable modem.

Great Job!

Try this link, instead!

I get the same thing: "Not COnnected" actual page not found" message.

And that if on my PC at work. At home I can't even get that far. http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/frown.gif

Works really well it seems to me - I'm on a 56k in Taiwan and its loading fast. The original link has a problem tho'

does not seem to be working.....
