Hey,
Do you think its a good idea to add a chat into the new RUMcarts site I made a quick chat, you can see it here:
http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=2261befc6d27947c5c900958f76c7bd7&server=irc.lucidchat.net&channel=%23RUMcars
On the site it will be built on the site, you wont need to go to another page.
I will be online tonight if you weant to give me your opinion. It may seem a bit complicated for you guys, but you quickly learn, nothing difficult at all. Just as easy as copy paste :)
(that means my dad wont be able to chat ;) )
-
As its just been launched, you will probably be there with me, there may be another user. but probsblynot in the beginning.

I do quite like the idea of an "Off Topic" section of the forum, some people do not like OT, but they can just ignore it. An OT section does give people here a chance to talk about other interesting things without incurring the wrath of those who dislike thread drift. I tried to get through to the Chat section and I think I got some of the way, but then ground to a halt.

sorry but this silly old git only gets a black ( not blank ) screen when he clicks on that - couldnt be the fault of that young wipper snapper could it ? ;)
i do hope so ;D

Yep, Off Topic would be great.
Did you sign in as GubGub ? I saw you online, sent you a message but didnt get a reply!
LD, weird, since it works fine here... It should have a black screen asking you to add a nickname to connect...

Yup, I did Gub Gub, got to a page which said "hello gub gub" and told me to sign again, it said gub gub was already on-line so it said "hello ***gub". As I could not type anything anywhere I gave up! 2 minutes or so is all I give to any site or programme, and if I am not away by then I quit! No perseverance, these old gits!

Thats weird because Stevn Boydes son just went on and we chated :)
-
Well I can write my name in a box and see your hello, but I cannot type anything else, move the cursor or find anything else to do on it. There's a whole load of tech words and links and I have no idea what it is trying to tell me!

Well thats the thing with instant. Its like going to a microcar rally. you go to the dinner table, see everyone laughing, even if you havent heard the beginning of the story. Just ask to rpeeat, nd its sdoen :)

I don't have an opinion on the chat thingy because I would never use it being an old guy! Doesn't posting a message or sending an email accomplish much the same thing? What I do have an opinion on is when are we going to see the new look web site? Its well over due!

jonathan said he had gone to bed - on that chat THING :)

Rather mirrors my thoughts. I still do not understand why Facebook etc are better than an email. I wish I had never signed up to the blasted site as it heckles me and if I go on offers me loads of information I do not want and cannot get rid off. Total crap. No idea how to get rid of the entire thing off my PC either. It is this same old issue, over complication because it can be done. If I buy a 'phone that is what I want, not a camera or space shuttle controller. A simple 'phone. Not available therefore I have no mobile. I am not putting up with hours of poking little keys designed for miniature people who never get dirty so people can heckle me in the middle of doing something. Send me an email and I will deal with it when I want to. I suspect that is what Chat is. Live Emails. Still an email though. I could go on that all this need for instant contact is why the Western World economy is in trouble. Less pointless rabbit and slipped meetings and more work with set deadlines might help a great deal to get real work done. Bah Humbug!
-
Ah, that white line right at the bottom, found it!
I have to say it takes a while to load up the chat page, then it takes a while and a few clicks to close it, it would be much quicker just to have an Off Topic thread on the main forum instead of navigating to and from the separate chat page.
Not really into Chat that much myself, but an OT thread would allow us to share a joke or discuss subjects like bikes, trains, planes and boats or other things which many of us are interested in, without clogging up the RUM car area for those that only want to visit the site to read and post about small cars.

I agree Marcus. I think Jonathan is making the mistake of thinking that we are all teenagers with time on our hands and an adiction to gadgetry. Forget the chatroom and finish the website old mate! ;)

I know, I know, I'm totally responsable for it...
I have been busy with another website.
I will send Chris an email asking for the next things to do :)

Hmmm phones just need to phone when you're an oldie ;)
At my age, its meant to phone, play music, and take great pics ;)
-
Mine does calls and texts, photos, HD videos, organiser, calculator, games, music, etc., I can also compose music on it, it also prepares my business accounts does email and most computer functions, I can watch satellite TV and listen to Radio on it from all around the world, and it makes a great Rigatone Alfredo with funghi and extra cheese and paprika in the sauce served with a glass of Chilean Red Wine and a fresh Tiramisu for pud.
Some of the above might not be entirely true.
Hey, who needs a chat room, we can just use this thread!

Yeah!
I can actually make a Lego model do that ;)
They releasesed a set called Lego NXT. Its amazing. You program it on the PC, and it does as you say! check out this self balancing Segway...

ITs amazing now, technology...
My PC can probably serve me a cup of coffe!
-
Those Lego videos are fascinating and very clever, but they can't make my Rigatoni Alfredo!

hmmm... Weird!
Just a tip... Instead of logging in each time to change name, type /nick Rich (or other name)
