Hi all,

 

Today I have launched our new advanced trading chat room. This is a browser based chat room with advanced features like:

 

1. Uploading images

2. Web cam with audio and video support

3. Friends/Buddy List

4. Gamezone - Play chess, checkers

5. Create individual rooms with password protection ability

6. Predefined Messages

7. Change background colors

8. Change skin colors

 

The new chat room is extremely stable and can cater up to 250 users at once. I am still working on a few remaining fixes. Any feedback or comments are welcome. Thank you.

Hi all,

 

Chat room will be down for a bit. Theres a conflict with how the chat room popup window shows up and the actual function within vbulletin used for the attachments. Enabling one disables the other so I have enabled attachments for now.

 

Will get this sorted out as soon as possible. Thank you.

Soul,

 

Really nice chat app! Well done.

 

One suggestion is for the history icon: now when you select history, it appears that only the chat since sign-on comes up in the history window. Is there any way to tweak it so that the user can select more history than that? The old chat system allowed the user to select up to 24 hours I think.

 

Thanks again for the great improvement.

 

Rick

Hi Rick,

 

I am working on this issue at the moment.

 

So far there are 2 obvious bugs.

 

1. History is not working

2. System message can not be disabled

 

We are doing everything we can to fix this issue as soon as possible. Also once the bugs are fixed, I am planning on implementing two more features; push to talk button for the mic, and whiteboard.

 

Thanks.

Speaking of the history, James. Is there some way of "disconnecting" it from the chat when it's clicked? Something like a download that can be scrolled and viewed without being pulled back to the current entry every time someone makes a new post? The history worked this way in the old chat and it was very convenient, esp for those who don't trade in the middle of the day.

 

And thanks again for all the work you're doing on this. The room gets busier and busier.

Hm, is the chat stored in a the database? If so, you could make a rather simple interface that simply dumps the recent messages. It would be a history like the old one (downloadable, scrollable, text based, etc), and wouldn't be all that complicated.

Sure, the only problem is that getting support from the developers of the chat room system is close to impossible. And I can not find other programmers who are familiar with the system. Its a great chat room but the support absolutely sucks. Ill have to wait until they reply but will see if I can create this. Thanks.

Oh and maybe it could remember your camera/mic settings? I almost gave HLM a heart attack when I restarted yesterday as I was trading in bed on the laptop (blush).

Currently that's an Adobe Flash Player Setting. For example, whenever I enter the room it asks me to allow or deny access to my camera and microphone (pop-up). You can also change it under your chatroom settings (A/V Settings - Advanced). If you want it to stay that way by default there should be a "remember" checkbox in the flash settings. There is a checkbox under "General" for "Allow Access to my Cam" but it doesn't appear to block anyone from viewing it so I don't exactly know what it's for. Unless it's one of those things where you are always allowed to view your own.

For anyone that doesn't have a webcam but wants to share parts of their desktop or have it follow your cursor, etc...

 

ManyCam is free software (works with Vista 64) that allows you to share parts of your desktop as if it was a webcam.

As I mentioned in the room it would be nice when downloading images to have them open in your default image application rather than stored on disc. No biggy.

 

I have been told by the development team that the default size can not be changed as it is hard coded. You will need to download the image in order to see the full size.

 

However, I am having another programmer take a look at this right now to see if it can be changed. Thanks.

We have made changes to the System Status check box within the chat room. This will now allow all system messages to be enabled/disabled. This was one of the requests provided in the chat room.

 

I will also be implementing a push to talk feature and a whiteboard in the upcoming days. Thanks.

Hi James, if the behaviour on download could be changed to "open in default viewer" rather than "save to disc" that would be preferable. Cuts out the bother of locating and opening the image.

 

Cheers.

Working on this but no guarantees. They have told me over and over its not possible but still trying to find ways to do this. Thanks.

Yeah, this isn't possible. A much better solution is opening the image (full size) in a new window (like the old chat).

Exactly, links in the room open in a new browser window. Why not just have the download link point to the image and open it in a new browser window. At that time, the user can download the image if they wish via the browser. You want to get it out of the flash environment before going full size.

Figured out what this does. If it is unchecked you get a pop up asking if you want to allow the individual to view your webcam. :)

hi guys

 

i can access the chat room from work but not from home - does anybody know why this may be?

 

thank you

 

mark

Maybe just bad timing since it was working before but not currently? Be sure to keep an eye on the support thread dealing with the chat room HERE.

    • The best and the most sure-fire way to avoid all these forms of nonsense is NEVER to send any money to anyone, no matter the circumstances they claim... Even your closest family members.   Whatever they claim will happen to them, let it happen.   There is nothing new under the sun...   You need to be extremely cruel.... Never send anything of value to anybody, no matter what they claim, even if they claim death.   If you can follow this GOLDEN RULE, you will avoid a lot of regrets, heartaches and disappointments from all areas.   I send money only to people I have promised before.... Or someone I am seeing face-to-face... Or someone I have confirmed beyond reasonable doubts from external/independent sources that they really need the money.   Otherwise, nobody under this heaven can come out of blue (unless my parents or wife), even my siblings and request money.   Over 90% of requests for financial assistance and are fraudulent.   After all, if you die today... The scammers (even in the family) will continue to live without you.   Those who are merciful, kind-hearted and soft-hearted are the easy preys and targets of these scoundrels - 419 scammers.   They like gullible people and hate tough/cruel people.   Do not allow anyone to cause you to feel guilty for what you don’t do… Those dubious people want to make you feel guilty for not helping. But you don’t need to feel guilty as long as you’re not the cause of their problems or the issues they have.   It is better to lose customers/friends/family members/anyone's goodwill and keep your money, than to lose their goodwill and also lose your money.   Because that is what will happen at last... I have lost count of how many people that are currently regretting giving out loans, just because they want to retain goodwill.   When you're trying to please people, you end up displeasing yourself... And you will discover that those who are encouraging you to be kind and generous are themselves wicked and stingy.   Esin o dede l’oro... Araye lo ko esin loro. (It's humans being that taught the horse how to be cruel).   The best way to avoid falling for scam is NEVER to send anything of value to anyone, no matter who the person is to you or how they relate to you on this planet...   And never try to get anything for free or reap where you don't sow and never try to get rich quickly.   Follow this: You will escape/avoid all scams, lies, pretenses, fakeries, headaches, sorrow, regrets, high BP, later in your life.   Ignore this rule at your own PERIL.   Have a nice day. PS: And scammers will be using AI also for impersonations, phishing attempts and deepfake tricks. Just delay indefinitely and make independent calls, research and investigation before you part with anything of value. If you can't go through the rigors, just ignore the deals. I hope the Western World will soon pass legislation to regulate AI and deal with those who use it for evil.  To get free, winning trading signals, please visit: https://t.me/predictmag
