Feedback is mandatory! ATM I'm particularly interested in feedback about speed/responsiveness and stability. Caveats: You must have a java enabled browser in order to run the chat client. You can download the latest java runtime here You'll need your forum username and password to gain access. Only registered forum members with at least 10 posts can access the system. Unregistered peeps or members with <10 posts will be denied access. Should you make your 10th post sometime during this test and find that you're still being denied access, please be patient as the user database refreshes itself only every 30 minutes. Turn your speaker volume down! This program currenly plays a short audio clip (doh!) when it throws as error and has scared the bejebus out of me on more than one occasion. Please report any issues in this thread. Oh! And keep your fingers crossed - I don't even know if this is going to work! edit: taken down while I try to solve the errors.

Not much testing I could do in there by myself but what I was able to test produced very satisfactory results. Real test will be when you get a whole bunch of people in there at once.

I was worried about my Mozilla browser not handling the java applet because I run across a lot of sites that are IE specific for whatever reasons but it seemed to go pretty much flawlessly.

I've used Firefox and liked it but I just like having everything in one place and the suite fills that bill for me.

I like to hack 'em so it's easier to re-install them when I (inevitably) break them. *** Private messaging is still somewhat borked. It works but you can't read the white text on the white background.

Check out the screenshots of the source distribution... teh ugly! Having no prior experience with java, I now know just enough about it to be dangerous!

Access Denied. Too Funny. I'll try at a later date, but I know I just wouldnt have time to chat EVER, though I would love to get together with everybody!!! ...........stillthere

I could be wrong though. Only one way to find out!

PMing is fixed and the connection issues shouldn't be a problem anymore. All I need now are a boatload of people to go in there, use it, then report back any problems they experience.

LOL, I've never ignored a user before. Hope I get an opportunity to use your chatroom! I've taken on a SECOND JOB in hopes of putting a little cash back in the bank. Oh, how I sure do miss my great big sears paycheck!

Impeccable timing msguru! You attempted to log in almost exactly 8 hours after the previous log in and thus gave me the hint I needed to correctly diagnose the problem. Now I need only wait a few more hours to see if my fix works... which kinda sucks: write the code, compile it, deploy it, then wait 8 hours to test it.
