I can't get in anymore...guess I've been banned for picking on geo...the poor little baby... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tongue.gif

I told you I was going to tell my mommy. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cool.gif

monitor Apr 14, 2000 1:08 pm

Works fine even thru my proxy server.

harold Apr 14, 2000 2:38 pm

Worked perfectly. Wasted a lot of time there.

Tomphot Apr 14, 2000 3:39 pm

I got in but I was all alone.

shadow Apr 14, 2000 4:47 pm

Typing this from the CRC in SLC. Worked fine again...but I was the only one there so I left.

Spent some time on this AM with baobab, Damian & a few others. Agree about the passwords, but it seems the applet takes a long time to load.

Ah, it worked from my laptop. My problem this morning probably was the office firewall. Oh, well, I'll just have to take my laptop to work. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

essxjay Apr 14, 2000 7:34 pm

Chalk me up under the firewall column. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Old Gold Apr 14, 2000 7:50 pm

Thanks Michael, I enjoyed communicating with you live yesterday, I agree with Catman, we should be able to create our own logos, and maybe use a combination of program logos, after all how many frequent flyers limit themself to just one program?

QuantumLeap Apr 15, 2000 8:34 am

To add to the tallies:
Does not work at the office behind the firewall.
Works fine at home.

OMNI for KOKONUTZ: Actually Geo1004's 'mommy" is the Catfather who alwasy protects members of his "family." SO be nice mice everyone! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Friday night we had nine people on the chat board talking about Starwood upgardes in Hawaii, Las Vegas Hotel suggestions and steakhouses in texas. it was fun.

I'm going try to get on later.


mauld Apr 15, 2000 12:44 pm

Didn't have any firewall problems (using it at home) but after waiting 15 minutes for the JAVA connection and seemingly going nowhere, I exited. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/confused.gif

CameraGuy Apr 15, 2000 4:10 pm

I was on Thursday and Friday evenings. No problems with either my laptop or my home machine.

Passwords will be a must. Smilies would be nice.

Catman Apr 15, 2000 7:23 pm

Michael: a few suggestions:

I think there should be some kind of program where we can only get onto live chat through our ORIGINAL AND ONE AND ONLY FLYERTALK NAMES. Here's why:

*We don't want some psycho to go on the board and start posting leud and obnoxious things.
*We know the posters and know things will be ok.
*Worst case synerious: what if we get gossipy and it's about that person who has logged in under another name. World war three (now CMDR CATCOP who has not watched over live chat yet would NEVER let that happen.)

Also, maybe a password so flyertalkers can get on teh MAIN site and chat.

I know, this sounds very restrictive but IMHO I would like the chat informative.. and clean.

Sorry if everyone else disagrees.


RichG Apr 15, 2000 10:04 pm

Just had a chat with Catman, Burkey, & flyguy. Worked fine. I agree that the use of existing FT identities should be password-protected. Also, it would be nice if the main BBS screen carried a list of who was in the chat rooms at a given time.

Catman Apr 16, 2000 11:17 am

Guys, I now can't get on the life chat. Maybe my system has crashed...or yours.

shadow Apr 16, 2000 11:22 am

I cannot sign on either 10:25am PDT

dsimon Apr 16, 2000 1:31 pm

I cannot move beyond the nickname sign-in, and it is now 3:24P EDT. After a minute or so I received an error message to the effect of "The DigiChat server may not be running..." That was apparent.

Other than that, the chat room has been fantastic, and I am glad that it has been up and running.

flyguy Apr 16, 2000 3:18 pm

Tried it last night for first time and liked it. Small attendance but lively conversation. Is there a way to permanetly set preferences?

Andrew Yiu Apr 16, 2000 3:43 pm

Same problem here... getting the same message as everyone else.

steve100 Apr 16, 2000 4:21 pm

Ok, I had the opposite problems of everybody else. Using the same notebook computer, I had no problem logging in at work, but I just tried it at home and got the following error:

No Response was received from the server. The DigiChat Server may not be running, or may not be a compatible version. Please contact the administrator in charge of this site.

java.io.InterruptedOException: Read timed out
So, adminstrator, I am contacting you.... :-)

PremEx Apr 16, 2000 5:13 pm

I get the following error message:

No Response was received from the server. The DigiChat Server may not be running, or it may be because you are ugly. Please contact the administrator in charge of this site.

Old Gold Apr 16, 2000 6:10 pm

It was working a few minutes ago, nobody home.

shadow Apr 16, 2000 11:27 pm

PremEx.... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

10:30pm PDT working fine, nobody there.

ffhound Apr 17, 2000 6:22 am

I have tried with recent versions of both IE and netscape - no luck. Can thsi program be made firewall-friendly?

cheers Peter

PremEx Apr 17, 2000 12:38 pm

Working for me now.

Catman Apr 18, 2000 10:31 am

I for one like the live chat. It can't replace the BB's but it's like to talk LIVE with my "relatives!"

Thanks Webflyer folk,a nd I hope to see Randy and some of you on soon!

EaglePutt Apr 18, 2000 1:44 pm

It worked fine for me earlier from my motel room on the laptop - talked with Catman, SMessier, and Empress. But can't get it to work at the airport using same laptop but different phone line. Oh well. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Catman Apr 19, 2000 10:59 am

Has anyone noticed it takes a few tries to get the Digichat loaded?

Can't be high activity. I'm on with Smessier.

But great FOUR PAWS UP board WebFlyer!

james Apr 19, 2000 11:13 am

When I am on a powerful computer, I can get on at any time without exception. When I am on my creaky old P-75 at home, forget about it...

Scott the flier Apr 19, 2000 1:33 pm

Worked fine for me talking with Baze, Catman, Old Gold and Nutz. The only bad thing is you can log on in multiple names without logging out, weird.

Cheers Scott

cmwdjw Apr 19, 2000 5:41 pm

I got in just fine, to bad no one else was there. I was ready for a good chat

DoggyDaddy Apr 19, 2000 6:07 pm

Ditto!
I also got in without any problems at 8:00 EDT but there was no one there. I waited approx. 5 minutes, but got impatient and left.
Hope to connect again soon.

DoggyDaddy Apr 20, 2000 6:02 am

I also tried from work this morning with success. Our T1 connection makes things a bit faster. Unfortuneatly, there was nobody there, but what do you expect at 8:00 Eastern Time.

Keep the faith.

wingless2 Apr 20, 2000 10:11 am


On Wednesday, November 19th, I signed on to go to the chat room and my computer froze up on me (for the second time). Apparently, as I was trying to escape the nonresponsive area, it showed me in the chat room. Well...I had no idea because on this end I had a half loaded screen.
To make a long story short. I found out that there were a few people who were acknowledging my presence in the chat room and I was not responding. I am sorry if anyone thought I was lurking and ignoring them.
Please accept my apology, I did not know until later that evening that my name showed up when I was not there.

Thurs 4/20 10:30 PM PST - Was just beginning to char with Catman, Hammertoad, and Jon Toner before gettign kicked out.

Catman Apr 21, 2000 12:40 am

That was wierd you left suddenly Ken. You are a brother and a good friend of mine and I was a bit worried I might have offended you.

You and Danielle are two of the nicest Flyertalkers out there. You are both to be saluted and appaluded, early and often.

Catman Apr 26, 2000 11:56 am

Just moving this up in case there are Fleyrtalkers unaware of the fun chat board.

bokich Apr 26, 2000 12:51 pm

Was chat working at lunchtime today? I was able to get in last night, but not this morning. Trying to figure out if it was just my machine, or the chat server that was messing up.
