Chat room

Hey guys I was just wondering who all uses the chatroom. I have not noticed anybody in there for quite sometime for some reason or another. Id love to chat with other members about cars an trucks. Tell me your experiences with it an is it easy to use. Thanks for the help. If anybody has any ideas let me know. This might not be the best forum for this question on second thought. I cant delete it so if any moderators like to move it so I could get the best responses please do so. Thanks

Well I was just looking at the chatroom. It looks awful difficult to use. Looks like I would never be able to figure it out form what Ive seen. Maybe why thats why nobodies on. How do you get on it. It doesnt really tell me anything on that page except some commands or what not. Can anybody help me here. Thanks.

If you are asking me , the chat room was an AOL general chat room (car chat) full of snerts, wantabees, kids. and who knows who else. I no longer use chat rooms. The FTE chat room is a place Ive never been.......I get upset enough using this forum

Well I give up. Nobody seems to know anything about it or can help me anyway. Probably not a good idea anyway. I havent seen anybody in there for the last several days. Doesnt sound to popular. 93 people an nobody knows a thing. Oh well Ill check back tomorrow hopefully somebody will have some input.

I've been trying to get on it lately, but I think I have Java issues. If you simply want to chat... disreguard all the other "stuff" ... Just enter in your chat text in the long thin rect. window (should already be a curser there?) and smack the enter button..

Yep, at the top where it says USer Chatting click the word chatting. The chat room SHOULD come up. Once it does then to type click the box at the bottom where it says Message: and type your stuff in there. It should pop up on the screen once you hit enter.

Just remember, there are the SAME Guidelines in the Chatroom as there are on the forums. Just follow the 8 year old rule.

You should make sure you are running the newest version of Java, which that client runs off of. I just logged in without any problem. I visit it once in a while, but I generally have a few windows open (and figure the users in there think I'm just spying on them... when Im just distracted with other things ).

What browser? Has it been updated lately? Are you running any restrictive anti-virus/firewall software? This could be a a number of things.
