+The Hokesters Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) Thanks to Rutson we now have an even easier way to join the chatroom. www.hokesters.co.uk/geochat/chat.php Enter your caching nickname in the box provided and click "Let's Chat". Once you are in the room you can bookmark it for later use and you will always be logged in automatically. If you have problems with the applet loading please check the Java notes below. Of course if you are IRC savvy and have a stand-alone IRC client (such as mIrc or IceChat) you can follow these settings; IRC Server: irc.uk.nixhelp.org Server Port: 6667 Channel: #geocaching We look forward to seeing you in there! Java Notes - You must have Java installed to run this webpage. Java is a small add-on for Internet Explorer or Firefox which allows your browser to run small programs within the browser window. If you do not have Java installed you should be prompted to install it when you first run the chatroom link. If not it could be because of your security settings. Visit Java Home and click the 'Windows XPI - Download'. Follow the instructions then try to reload the chat room link. If you are still having problems it could be security settings in your browser. In Firefox - Tools>>Options>>Web Features - ensure both Enable Java and Enable Javascript are ticked. In IE - Tools>>Options>>Advanced - ensure Java is enabled. If you still can't log on it is most likely to be your firewall settings. At this point you need to contact the manufacturer/supplier/administrator of the firewall.

+The Hokesters Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) Make sure you are using the NEW script - GeoChat! and bookmark it AFTER you have entered your nickname. It is definitely working (at the moment). Some of the old applet links may not be though. For those of you on a seperate IRC client such as mIRC or IceChat please make sure you follow the settings below; IRC Server: irc.uk.nixhelp.org Server Port: 6667 Channel: #geocaching Simon Edited December 14, 2005 by The Hokesters Link to comment
