Chat

1) Make window resizable. The whole thing won't actually fit on a 768 tall screen.

2) The "auto-scroll" function is problematic. A bit troublesome trying to read earlier posts, especially when the whole thing won't actually fit on a 768 tall screen. :-(

Those are both problems being addressed by the code writer of the chat software. The scroll thing is a real PITA. As for the window size, try to open in a new tab, ie: right click. More manageable that way here anyway, running IE7.

I joined another room in chat, and can't get out. :(
When i log in again, it puts me back in some other room that I joined :(

The usability problem is made worse by the fact that it opens a new window, and then disables all the browser menus, tool bars, etc. If it's easy to do, one suggestion would be to change the settings to NOT open a new window.

How does one find/join/create "rooms" in chat?

Take the RED pill.

The ability to create new rooms is supposed to be disabled, but of course, there are still some small problems with this Alpha version.

Neil, what Room name did you create? Just type Default Room in the Room Name box, no password needed.

Oh thanks, in an attempt to get out of there I joined "Defualt" and "Default" but I didn't try "Default Room". That worked!

Apparently a newer version of the chat is being packaged up as we speak.

Chat has been disabled for now.
