    Don't worry we don't respect you either.

    A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.

    There's logic in nonsense.

    Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.

    Hi, When I try to get into the chat rooms, I get the button that tells me I need the Java download. I click this, and it tells me that I've already got the proper software, but I still get the button and can't get into the chat. What am I doing wrong?

    I know Matt posted a couple things that may fix it, but damned if I can find them anywhere.

    it's this post. hope this helps.


    ETA: IE means internet explorer just so the same question doesn't come up again. if you're working with netscape you can pm somebody (or me if you want, i don't mind). if you're using a mac i'm out of the loop cause i'm a pc.

    If he had a Mac, it would just work.

    I mean, the first sign way back in 2000 that something was wrong with the board at DT.net was an unusual ratio of members to guests. I saw the same Friday night, (6/59), and I was concerned for .com. I then went seeking glitches and sent many PMs to Matt...thus the phrases " Sounds like DT.net to me." and all the PMs lead to this; " (sorry Matt, I'm a troublemaker...I gave Josh the same shit.)"

    Then I am a bit bitter how, toward the end, two mods did it all, the work, the others left, and I was left holding the bag, getting the angry PMs with no answers from Admin. to help me...etc... I was just venting and stated " I was never a favored Mod at DT.net... (I hit heads with one mod a lot...heated shit.) and I only have respect for one beside Patrick.
    I am an ass!!!"

    Sorry to be so confusing. I just vented. I held the bag for near a year.


    This is way off topic but I was spooked by glitches similar to DT.net's.

    Back on topic.

    Okay, first...deep breaths. Better?

    50% plus of our "guests" are spiders - search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc.) crawling the site. It's okay, really. Creepy, but okay. It means we'll show up that much higher on the search engines when you type in "Dark Tower".

    I get the PTSD response - had I been in your shoes, trying to answer questions I had no answer for, yep, would have been there!

    Hope you can work it out. No worries, mate! The site is all good, the mods are on the spam/bots/inquires like you wouldn't believe.

    It's all good, Jon. Just sit back and enjoy!!!!

    John,

    You may want to check to see if you have pop-ups blocked for this site. If they are blocked, unblock it and then try again. Remember that any toolbar you may have (google, Yahoo, MSN) have their own po-up blocking so if you have any of these installed, the pop-up must be enabled in toolbar settings.

    If it is still failing, make sure JavaScript is enabled this way:

    Activate JavaScript in your browser

    To start the chat, JavaScript must be activated in your browser. If it is not, you can make the following changes in your browser settings:

    * Microsoft Internet Explorer

    In the menu bar > Tools > Internet options > Security > Internet > Modify settings > Scripting > Active Scripting choose "activate". Confirm your changes with a click on “ok”.

    Le us know....

    Well, I've disabled the pop-up blocker, enabled the Active scripting and I still have the same problem. I KNOW I'm doing something wrong or have some wrong settings about there, but I'm darned if I know what.

    Did you try the link above John? Its supposed to be an automated thing that checks your system for you. Version and set up I mean.

    It's recommended and totally secure.

    John,

    Do you have any special FireWall software running, like ZoneAlarm or a router that may be handling JavaScipt calls? I realize thisis unlikely as you said you got it to work in Firefox, correct?

    What version of IE are you using and which operating system?

    Well, I've tried it, but I guess I just don't have the expertise to make it work. I can't figure out exactly what I'm supposed to do because some of the things it says to do don't match what is offered to me via my menus. I did figure out that I have the Microsoft VM Java browser 1.6.0 installed. Oh, well.
