BARNEY Chat

[Wake]

I've just recoded the old 2000AD Online chat room for BARNEY.

Click HERE to try it.

You sign in using your email and validation code.

If you use the same email address as you used for the old 2000AD Online then your old icon will probably have been saved. However, your display name is now the bit of your email address before the @.

I haven't tested all the functions, but hopefully most of them should still work.

Cheers,

Wake

Thank you, Wake me old(ish) chum!!!

[Bouwel]

Cool and thank you

Can't seem to get it working too well under Firefox. I can validate etc. but not getting messages up on the screen.

There again, it just may be clumsy me!

I use them same email address, but it doesn't show any icons, infact the "who's online" box is totally empty for me.

However, your display name is now the bit of your email address before the @.

Means that my login name is : Webmaster

If you have an email such as webmaster@ or info@ then you probably have the power to create a new email address which you can validate and use in the chat room. You may need to tell me if you want to link your chatroom id to your profile page.

I use Firefox. There's a hello from grpleahy within the past hour. Your message may not appear immediately. The default refresh is 5 seconds so even if everything is working correctly you may need to wait that long to see what you've typed.

If you validate your email address you should be able to see the message "You must sign in to use the chat room" should dissappear, the form in the footer should change from two text fields to one and your username should appear in the box. Please give it a try, since I need to know what works and what doesn't to bug fix.

Oh! That was me.
It's working fine here anyway. So is there interest in starting up those chat nights once more?

[Bouwel]

Seems to be working now...excellent

It looks like there could be a problem with apostrophes. I'll fix that tomorrow.

[Wake]

Has anyone other than me seen their icon and/or username in the chat room box?

[Bouwel]

Sorry, didn't see a thing when I was on.

[Wake]

Please could you try again now. The apostrophe problem is fixed and although I didn't manage to work out why I was the only person showing up, I've mucked about with the code and can see my ID for two different email addresses.

[Bouwel]

Still seems to be a little finniky on Firefox. It jumps to a page with no input box.

I'm using Firefox. According to the database you signed in. Can you take a screenshot of what the problem looks like? I see you managed to find an input box. Did you see your name next to a grey square in the left hand box?

I'll try doing that now.

No, I didn't see my name.

(Thank you for your efforts with this, btw!)

OK, here we go.

Clicking on the link you provided gives this screen:

Then pressing back in Firefox gives this:

Entering your details and pressing enter gives this screen:

Entering anything into the text box and pressing send does nothing (waited for 5 minutes). Yet pressing back on Firefox gives a glimpse of what's been typed.

Hope this is of help!
