pennypie Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Anyone know why I can't get on?! Also its called 'Medusa's room' tonight, is this why?! Am I not one of the chosen few to get on?!
JoeP Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Hiya, I've just logged in to try this out and was able to post in to the main room. Whether Medusa has a separate room I don't know, but it didn't stop me logging in to an (empty) chat room. What DID happen was that I noticed a Java Update take place - now I've not used a Java app on this machine for a good while, so it may be coincidence - or your browser might have been doing some sort of update?
pennypie Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 All that is happening is it is showing me the page before the room loads up, where it tells you that the chat room isn't monitored. Very strange, and annoying!!!! Thank you for checking though!
purdyamos Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 I just had a peep at who's in the chat room and it is indeed labelled 'Medusa's room'. What does that mean?
medusa Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 When a moderator is in chat they can (if they wish) open up another room in addition to the normal chat room. Tonight the extra room was opened in order to allow a one to one conversation to take place between me and another chat user. The rest of the chat room operates completely normally during this time and users can move between rooms just by double clicking on the room header (unless the extra room is specifically kept to a one to one, in which case it may be password protected to ensure that others don't come into the room). If you couldn't get into chat tonight then that may be a Java issue, but it certainly wasn't due to having an extra room in there. Forum users were coming and going from both the normal chat room and the extra room during the whole time that I was in there.
*_ash_* Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Anyone know why I can't get on?! Also its called 'Medusa's room' tonight, is this why?! Am I not one of the chosen few to get on?! Loads of people can't get in due to Java problems etc.... I can't get in using this BT browser either, I have to open an IE one to get in. Sometimes a seperate room is started in there, if some people want a private chat. I've not seen it that often, it was usually when the room was rammed with people, and you could choose which room to go in. edit, too slow Medusa types quicker than me.
purdyamos Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Thanks for the explanation, Medusa. I had no idea there was that facility. I accidentally hit 'join' instead of 'who' and immediately hit the back button, which made something go funny. The chat room is nowhere to be seen on my windows, but the chat room appears to think I'm still in there. I hope the occupants don't think I'm being rude! That woman's voice keeps randomly saying 'welcome' at me every few minutes now for some reason. It's all very strange.

It's all very strange. you actually are in there, and that's why you hear welcome everytime someone goes in ... just went it to check! s'ok you're out now though!

For future reference just allow chat to load fully then exit by closing your browser, clicking on another SF page or similar.
pennypie Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 Thanks Ash and Medusa!! Thought I'd been expelled for being naughty or something!!!
