Actual Complaints

[Reply #400 on:]

I would think the computer no9man... Could be you hitting a key or some such?  I remember something else that did that... but I can't remember.  Is it the same computer or other computers?  Also, what browser?

Bianca... I assume you try the PEEL chat.  Most of the people that hang out there regularly have their own clients (a program on their computer) to get access to the chatroom.... but using them is a little confusing for most newcomers.  If you would like to try one of those options, I use mIRC, and others use XChat2.... I believe XChat2 is freeware right now.... mIRC is nagware... used to be freeware, now it whines about registering, but is still completely functional.

However... as I said, you'd be playing around with new things, and I'd ask you to look it up and read about it first.  If you'd like to try other applets, I can recommend these.

SSF Chat
Gopher's Chat
euIRC Java Chat
euIRC Web Chat

The first one is the one I use for SSF... it uses java similarly to the PEEL applet, but is slightly different.  Fill in the name field, scroll down, and click the Chat button.

The second one is a java applet hosted by our very own Gopher.  The backbone works essentially the same as the SSF one... just fill in the username and click Log In.  The only real difference between the two is aesthetics.... also I stole the one I use for SSF from Gopher... so I should probably mention it.

The third one is euIRC's java applet.  It also uses java, but it's hosted by the network we use (#futuramachat is on the euIRC network), so you might have more luck.  Scroll down to the bottom and click accept.  Fill in your nickname, choose a channel, and click Chat.  It doesn't matter what channel you choose, because #futuramachat isn't an option.  You will have to type /join #futuramachat after it connects to reach #fc; people can help you out after that.  Note that I've never used this one... so I'm not familiar with how it looks or how things work with it.

The last one is also hosted by euIRC.... it isn't java based, so you really might have luck with it; I know I have in the past.  Scroll down and click accept.  On the next page, fill in your nickname... then go to pick a channel like the euIRC java one... Fortunately enough, #futuramachat is an option with this chat applet... it's at the bottom.  Then click Chat.

For the record, the PEEL and CGEF chat applets are both exactly the same.... so if you have problems with one, then you'll have problems with the other.

You might also be able to search for more IRC related stuff and possibly other web browser chat applets on your own.  I think the Mozilla browser has one packaged with it.... but the four option I provided should be able to help you out. 

Let me know how things go, and I'll see if I can't be of more help.

[Reply #401 on:]

Nope, they don't work. Must be the java, apparantly there is an available update according to my taskbar....I'll try again later.

[Reply #402 on:]

Update: It still doesn't work.

[Reply #403 on:]

Did you try the euIRC web chat one?

[Reply #404 on:]

How do I get into that? Is it the thing on the bottom right of the chat screen? If so, I can't click it.

edit: So what channel should I be on?

Found it. 

Ok, that one won't let me in, help! 

[Reply #405 on:]

Lol.

[Reply #406 on:]

I agree.

[Reply #407 on:]

My posts keep on getting deleted, and when I posted one of Books' deleted too, and then when I went on "Your friends"(A topic), it got locked then unlocked and then locked again, what is going on?

[Reply #408 on:]

Einahpet; I PMed you about it, the thread got closed because it was filling up with spam faster than I could delete it, and don't worry several people had posts deleted, some had a lot more than you removed.

[Reply #409 on:]

Correct.  Tweek was cleaning up spam... He's a moderator and that's what he's supposed to do with his moderator powers.  He does a very good job at it.  It's nothing personal... and if any of your posts were removed, keep on posting, but try to be on-topic and post well.

[Reply #410 on:]

So this place is ruled by National-Socialism, I see.

[Reply #411 on:]

It's the best and most effective way to run anything. From a country to a messageboard. Don't argue.

Or we will come for you in the night.

Bianca, if you still can't get in, it has to be something on your side of the connection. 

[Reply #413 on:]

She got it to work.  Wow... I didn't know the strikethrough goes through emoticons. hmm..

[Reply #414 on:]

Did a whole set of posts relating to emoticons and strikethroughs leading to the revelation that they only go through them on browsers that aren't real (ie: ones that aren't IE) get deleted, or was it something else I dreamed?

Telling the diffrerence between what I'm dreaming and real life is already hard enough at the moment, without real life constantly being altered.

[Reply #415 on:]

And like that... it's gone.

[Reply #416 on:]

What on earth are you talking about tnuk?

[Reply #417 on:]

What on earth are you talking about tnuk?

tnuk is correct and winna knows it as one or two of the deleted posts were his.

[Reply #418 on:]

I just clicked on wikiPEELia and the page came up, should it be coming up or is this some kind of glitch?

[Reply #419 on:]

As far as I know... wikiPEELia is currently down.

I guess it's back up.

[Reply #420 on:]

It's missing a ton of edits though. Edits from before Spiff's cutoff date. I'm guessing that there will be another update to it.

[Reply #421 on:]

Here's a friendly suggestion please don't bite my internet balls off: new moderator?
For recent chatroom-like spam and ancient thread bumping.

I think Nix is busy or something, haven't seen VF post in a while, Tweek is around but pretty quiet! Probably boozing, I don't know!

[Reply #422 on:]

Yeah, I do agree we need new mods. May I suggest:

Gopher
Winna
I would say TNUK too, but...he can get a little emotional, so I will say BirthdayClown to even things out.

[Reply #423 on:]

I second the Gopher and Winna nominations.

I'm not sure if you're being complimentary or not. But I'd rather not have the job. I had enough of people questioning my every move when I was adding content to and dealing with the occasional moron on wikiPEELia. I'm not sure I'd want to have that on PEEL as well.


Back on PEEL 1, I'd have loved to have been a moderator. Shiny html privelages = worthy renumeration. But PEEL 2 doesn't offer those kind of perks, so I'll just put this out there right now: I do not want it.

Let's face it, I'd be incapable of making a single popular decision. Whether it was right or wrong, it would be universally reviled, and people would be clamouring for my head on a spike within a week.

[Reply #425 on:]

Well... everybody but me.  I'd even be joyous about getting banned by you once in awhile.  It feels like you're being touched by the person who bans you.

Edit: Also This Thread.

[Reply #426 on:]

Well, it seems as though wikiPEELia is back down. It is for me, anyway.

[Reply #427 on:]

Yes it's down for all

[Reply #428 on:]

it's up for me

[Reply #429 on:]

It just came back up in the past few minutes

[Reply #430 on:]

PEEL Chat. I can't get on it.
Must... have... JAVA...

[Reply #431 on:]

Try this:

http://webchat.euirc.net/webchat/en/

I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually use java.  #futuramachat should be in the dropdownlist.

[Reply #432 on:]

Alternatively, get java.  Sun makes it.

Additional alternatively, get an IRC client.

[Reply #433 on:]

Edit: did not realize it was Future Shock 

[Reply #434 on:]

Whoops, I asked this question in another section, and I was reprimanded! My mistake. Soooo I've seen people saying that you can use your own custom avatar, but on the "Forum Profile Information" page, there's no option that lets you upload your own picture. Am I missing something?

[Reply #435 on:]

Genuine complaint: Book's avatar is not 64X64

I'm such a snitch

[Reply #436 on:]

isn't 64x64 the max size? doesn't say it has to be that big

[Reply #437 on:]

I got the impression thems were the rules.

[Reply #438 on:]

rules schmules

[Reply #439 on:]

I realize that. I want it this way. More recognizable.
Actually this was just a test. The actual imagine I uploaded was huge. Peel scaled it down to this size. I might as well leave it now.
