After all the hard work I put in trying to set up a working chat room accessible by everybody it was to say the least disappointing that only one person joined Susan and I in the room last Friday. Susan claims that was because my announcement last week was too verbose and complicated, She may well be correct and if so I am sorry and will limit myself this week to the essential links:-
1.If you already have mIRC installed
configure it using my illustrated guide at:
http://johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/chatroom/newlink.htm
2. If you have not got mIRC yet
find out how at:-
http://johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/c...tingupmIRC.htm
3 use this browser URL link to enter without bothering with mIRC at all:-
http://www.worlds-worst-website.com/...hat/chat2.html
if asked accept the download of the Java applet
then wait for the Java applet to load (in the grey rectangle under the neurotic penguin)
and simply enter your name or a nickname
once in that chat room (actually you will be on a channel called #wwwchat) change to our channel by typing:-
/join #gordonlightfootchat
4. If you would like to enter using mIRC but are still reluctant to tackle the full
installation click on the link under the applet that says:-
mIRC Direct Link
5.If all the above fail try this alternative browser URL link:-
http://www.dilexnet.net/irc/webchat/...nlightfootchat
enter a nickname and press the chat button
That's all that I am going to say for this week except that
this evening's chat will be at 9 PM EST.
and of course I sincerely hope a few make it in
If you are unable to get in please e-mail me with an account of your efforts.
fowlesjohn@hotmail.com
If you make it I would like to do a survey on attendees experiences of getting in so please be prepared to say which of the above methods worked for you
