SnowJapan.Com#Chat 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Hi there OK our chat is now online. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/chat.html Just a few points: - we're giving it a fairly quiet launch now, and will gradually be linking it up and announcing it to more people next week and beyond. This applies all the time, but don't expect it to be always full of people at any one time. (When we were testing last week, even though over 200 people checked it out, the most people online at any one time was 5 or 6). - as it is still early on, if we have any problems at all, we might have to take it offline for a short time (or more) - you'll know if that is the case because it won't be there! - for more info and some help check out the following page: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/chat-help.html - if you can't login for some reason, the two most common issues might be that you don't have "java" on your browser (you will need that enabled), and/or you are trying to login with the incorrect username and password. You need your Forum username and password to login. Anyway, enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Not working for me. I have a Bad Magic Number. A furiously worded, accusatory email is on its way. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan.Com#2 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 We'll look forward to that! What you might need with that is to delete your browser cache, delete temporary files and login again. Link to post Share on other sites

montoya 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I'm using a firewall and router, and saw this in the FAQ: "Users behind firewalls may need to inform their local IT/network administrator to allow TCP connections on the port in use by our Chat. " So, what port is it using?? Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 This is great. Since the forums are dead right now it is giving me time to start my guidebook. Link to post Share on other sites
charlotte 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 That was fun! Link to post Share on other sites
IIIII 2 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I like it, nice and simple. It'll be good to arrange to meet friends in there and have a chat about the coming weekend,. Link to post Share on other sites
green 0 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Where are the people? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan.Com#2 0 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 to green - and all the other people who might have logged in to find no-one there...... Just looking at the transcripts from today, 73 people have logged in to the chat since early morning. A fair number of those have logged in, found no-one else there, and logged out again. There are basically 2 ways to use this new application: a) login and just hope someone will be there or arrange with friends a time when you should all login / login during one of the official "chat session" that we hope to organise during the season a) works with the forums of course, but not often with a chat application - its just the nature of a chat appplication, as you need everyone to be there at exactly the same time. But we don't think it's realistic to expect the chat to be full of people chatting away all the time - and hope that the idea of planning times to chat and organising sessions will take off. But whatever, we hope that people enjoy it. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan.Com#2 0 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Also, this might help. Towards the top of this page: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/chat-help.html there is a list of users that are online using the chat at the time you view that page.

jared 0 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Or jsut log in and leave yourself logged in while you are at your computer. Its no use having everyone looking to see who is in there and not logging in cos its empty. Someone has to be first. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I just chatted with myself for a few minutes. I said a couple of things that gave me a snigger, but I got lonely and soon left. Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I had a good old chinwag with Yuki's Passion, danz and a few other people who popped in and out for a bit (frannyo, akibun) just before this afternoon. I like it. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Is there a way to ensure that when you log in, your user name is not shown? My login id is not my forum handle.... and nor has it ever been. My login id is my first name and I do not want that appearing on chat. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 His first name is the short form of 'Richard'. He thinks it makes him an easy target. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 And his first name sounds like hunt. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 make a new user account and keep your current handle. Of course that would mean you'd lose record of your 3862 posts, but who's counting anyway... Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan.Com#2 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 You can make a new account on the forums here with an almost identical name, and just use that for chat... and keep your current on for the forum - that way you don't lost all your history. Link to post Share on other sites
