Chat with a Mac.

[Carl]

Doesn't work on mine. Does it work with any Mac?
I tried both IE 5 and Netscape 4.79
What happens is the screen will not refresh. I can't see what people are writing. If I enter text and enter "say" they can read mine. I have to keep pressing "reload" to get anything to show up on my screen.

 

[Chris C]

Oh man.

Carl, we Mac Users are pretty much out of luck unless you don't mind using the html version of chat. That appears to be the only one that works for us with the latest version of the ichat room.

In the days of old, ichat made a plug in for Mac... but at the moment they're not supporting "us".

All I can suggest is to send them an email and whine, beg, and plead for a plug in.

Sorry.

That's okay though because we Mac users have better things to do with our computers anyways.

If you really need to send typed messages quickly, perhaps you should get a windows machine:

 

[Chris C]

hehehe!

 

[Penny12]

Yeah, HTML is the only way, and it stinks! Totally useless if there is more than about 3-4 people in the room with you

Like Chris says, I suggest you send off an email to the support people at ichat and complain.

I'm not changing from a Mac to Windows just to be able to chat. So, unless the board will support Macs, I guess I'll just not participate in chat. I wonder how many of us on here use Macs.

 

[Chris C]

Ummmm... unfortunately just 6 that I'm aware of.

Shall I post one of those Important threads on ALL of the boards linking to a poll here on the Tech Board asking the question?

 

[Penny12]

You know...as 3 of those 6 people are Mods...I really think that should count atleast ten-fold, don't you?

Hi
Thank you Penny, when are you going to WDW? How long are you going? Maybe you'll overlap our visit? I saw you're staying at WL part of your trip, which dates?

So, do you think they'll ever count us Mackee's in??

 

[Penny12]

Oh yes! You're there at a similar time to me

Well, I start at the BWV for 8 nights, then I'm doing the 4 day Wonder cruise, then am returning for just the 1 night at VWL before we fly home to the UK - so we'll be there on the night of the 22nd
