Chat room for CC owners

I have sent Lyndon a quick chat room. We use it on the Puma forum.

It should cut down his bandwidth usage and enable anyone to use it even if they are behind a firewall at work like me

This means that people can just

in

We await Lyndons decision with great excitement

Rob, why do i get pictures of boxes with a white square and a red 'x' in on a lot of your posts? Is it a voting slip??

If the chat room is java based and your using XP there may be a problem as MS have removed the JAVA virtual machine from there web site. Something to do with court cases with Sun. I re-installed windows XP and now Im lost without the java stuff. Its amzing how many web sites need it :sad:

nope, its all Flash based so should be OK.

I've only got Win98SE and IE5 - boxes!! :sad:
(Ancient stuff I know!)
Not sure how fast XP would run on only 800MHz.

My computer warranty runs out in April - will get a new one then or an upgrade and get more software. And probably get braodband too - hopefully might be able to get work to pay for it!!!

HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden

The web page the images are onm we dont have permission to view them ??

they are the picture place holers, if IE cant find the picture thats what you see. The picture is coming from (http://uk.msnusers.com/AnimatedGIFSforF ... webguy.gif) and its in the members area of MSN, so if you use MSN messenger and are set up to sign in automatically, the website will remember who you are and let you see the picture, its all to do with your security settings. Sorry dont want to be known as a geek!

Only if you join that group, by the looks of it.

I really don't want to join a group just to see icons in a forum. Why can't you use icons from this forum, or icons that people don't need to sign up to somewhere else to see?
