Ok, Back on the main site www.rocktumblinghobby.comI have added a chatroom login as it has been requested before aswell. I cannot do it from here, as the code has to be on a permanent page by the looks of it. Give it a whirl. Bear in mind that not everyone is up at the same time - I think people could organise a meet though on here - time, day etc.... Let me know if there are problems with it and I'll find another. Cheers all Andy

Hi Sands, its still there from here.
It may be that theres a caching delay on the net, or maybe if you delete your temporary internet files it will show.
Other things which may stop it showing are anti-virus/banner ad blockers/pop-up blockers (the latter not likely - although this may stop it opening as its in a window of its own).
I just checked the host and its still on the page though, and the new page is still live.
Let me know.
Cheers

How strange is that? Anyone else report probs? Can anyone see it? Here is what I see in IE - and what you guys should be seeing too at the main site.

the only time i can get that to pop is when i went into the visiters photos and at the bottom of the page it says back to main page when i click on that and the home page pops it has the chat on it but if i go strait to the home page it dont show and its the old page the one befor the one you just showed it say 200 members not 260 in green
yea andy i just tried it again i hafta go to one of the things on the main page first then when i click on the return to main page when it pops it has the chat on it and the new message you posted about the chat and 260 members

Andy, that is what I see, there is nothing under the sentence that says "Want a chatroom like this..." Course, that not being there is no problem for me. But, when I tried to type in my chatroom ID, nothing happened. Guess I should clear out my temp. files etc and try it again. It would probably be a good thing if I can't get in because I would probably spent way too much time chatting instead of doing the stuff I need to get done. Kinda like right now when I should either be cleaning my nasty house or outside working on some of my crafts stuff I am trying to get done by Apple Festival time the last Sat. of this month!

I'm sorry I just don't have time to chat. I don't chat with my other boards I go to either. A couple of the boards I go to have set times that their chat occurs and that seems to work for everyone else. Tami

Andy,,,,,
I don't see a thing about a chatroom on the home page.
The only way i've been able to get in is to go to your posting about it .

I still can't log in. Could be because I have an evidence eliminator program on my computer, Norton Internet Security, and I use Mozilla Firefox rather than IE. Anyhoo, guess if I can't figure it out, I won't be doing any chatting. Which is probably a good thing if I ever want to get anything else done. ;D
