Beta chat bugs and problems

Please post all bugs and issues encountered in chat. Help us out by listing your operating system, browser version, and which version of Flash you are using (right click in the chat window and you should see "About Adobe Flash Player" followed by the version number). This is for bug reports only - keep discussion to a minimum, and if you are in need of help, go to the tech support forum. Thanks!

KNOWN BUGS:

- Right now, chat uses avatars from the remix site. This will be fixed soon, and you will have one universal avatar for remix, profiles, chat, and forums.

Firefox 3 (not blocking popups) with Flash 9,0,124,0 once I press connect, I get stuck at the Welcome screen.

The chat (at least the flash client) is set to US keyboard settings. While this is not a huge problem for us english people who use a slightly different QWERTY, people who use DVORAK and other foreign keyboard settings could find it a problem as their letters will be replaced.

(XP, FF3, and Flash 9, although I don't think it makes a difference)

bugs:
- after using backspace from time to time it enables insert mode and you cannot type a words, only single symbol
- from time to time insert mode is on
- mouse scroll is absent?
- ctrl-v isnt always working ://

xp mce, ff3, latest flash

 

08/15/08 6:00 PM

bugs/problems:

german keyboard layout works only partial: i am not able to write the following symbols: : and ;, instead, i get < and >.

the scrollbar always jumps down if a new message appears, what makes it incredibly hard to read past messages.

its kinda hard to make out what mods say, they should write in a different color. or username displayed differently. or both.

xp, ff3

ok go into your internet settings(tools look up at your address bar)you may need to allow the site to do this hit options, you will see block pop ups, uncheck it, then hit allow sites copy link, and paste it then hit add, also make sure if you are using a firewall make sure it is not blocking the application, if this does not work pm me, it is a IRC type application, seems like it....

sorry answered the question, I had same issue at first with chat

I think my username contains characters that you cant log into with, a , and a !.

Any suggestions as to what I should do? I could always create a new account.

 

08/15/08 7:38 PM

I'm on a mac on firefox 2 with flash 9. I can connect and see everyone talking in the rooms perfectly, but can't seem to type in the send box. This could be something on my end since I'm having my own issues with the net.

 

08/15/08 8:42 PM

Ah crap, I posted a thread in a stupid place before I found this. Feel free to dleete it if you haven't already (it's late leave me alone winking smiley).

Anyway, what I said there has been doubled here already but I've also wondered if it would be possible to select someone's name in the chat window to send them a PM as well as finding them in the userlist? Not a biggy but it's something I'm used to doing and it's bugging me to keep trying to do it and realising it doesn't work.

I miss not being able to see 'main' chat whilst also having a private box/room; tho i guess given the layout this wouldn't now be feasible.

Also the list of all present isn't in alphabetical order - trying to see who is online is cumbersome.

Last, but by no means least...... it's way too fast. I'm not the only one to mention that tonight. Anyway of slowing it down slightly?


But, never say never. Apparently emoticons are visible in chat.... just not to me on my MAC. Any advice anyone? I'm pretty crap at computer stuff tho.

also suggestion -
highlight channel name if there's activity
like with query windows

Is there anyway to use the chat from a regular IRC client? Obviously without all the neat avatars and stuff, but still - I'm in IRC all day anyway and it'd be a lot easier to just hang out in ChatZilla instead of using the flash client.

 

08/16/08 2:13 AM

Hmm.. it's not suppose to be working right now, is it?

I just get a "Disconnected." message when i try to connect..

I have the same problem. I use Hungarian keyboard and am not used to the US settings at all.

Nevermind, just my firewall.

sure. open your preferred irc client (such as mirc or xchat or even in chatzilla), type
/server irc.nin.com:pass yourpassword

i believe this should work.

edit* - chatzilla users, use this instead:
/server irc.nin.com 6667 yourpassword

When I tried to enter the chat for the first time,a window popped up saying I should update my flash player which i did.Now I can't access the chat at all,because it gets blocked from my browser!

 

08/16/08 6:41 AM

Forget it. It's in the first post answered. Stupid me.

Have tried all the tricks I know and chat still refuses to load on my Firefox (for Mac) browser. Will only load on Safari. All I see after my browser tries to load for a minute or so is the static black background.

 

08/16/08 3:24 PM

do you have flash installed on your mac?

Yes I do. Works for everything else.

A few people have complained during chat that their avatars do not show up in chat even though they have uploaded them. Mine isn't showing in chat either, although it does show everywhere else, which is probably the case with the others as well. Any suggestions?

 

08/17/08 4:56 PM

Flood protection only works in #help.

Presumably a setting on "ninbot" as channel modes seem the same.

 

08/17/08 9:53 PM

When one uses the flash wrapper from beta.nin.com.etc.etc. then actions (/me ...) show up in every room which is rather confusing for everyone (if funny when used appropriately). I've logged in using my regular IRC client and this doesn't happen so it's something to do with the wrapper. I've tested it with other people using the wrapper trying to send me actions from other rooms and with me trying to send actions across rooms to other people and neither happens when I'm using my regular client.

Can you please make the text size bigger, or allow an option for it? The in-browser (firefox 3) knobs don't work, and... I'm sort of blind.

 

08/18/08 2:16 PM

ok I just got booted from chat but shows me still logged in *glitch*
let me back in after five attempts.

It just keeps telling me "could not resolve hostname. Disconnected."

Halp? sad smiley
Firefox 3, flash up to date, tried with firewall on and off...

 

08/18/08 8:56 PM

Seems that all names containing spaces will not work.


I made this account because my main one, 'plastic soul' absolutely refused to work.


HI PERCHEE AND ICKLEKITTY LOL
