---> Why You Can't Get Into Chat

If you are having trouble getting into chat, and you are seeing this screen:



Here is the problem and what you can do to fix it, so that you will be able to access the Chazhound chat room.

Chat changed awhile back, and is no longer accessible using the Internet Explorer browser. When tried, you will get the above screen, where you are in a lobby, telling you that you are currently not in a room, and to click a room.

In order to access chat, you will need to download and use a different browser. It's simple, and most are quick and easy to download. The most popular one appears to be Modzilla's FireFox browser.

You can find and download the FireFox browser quick and easy here: Modzilla FireFox Browser

There are also two other popular browsers that will work with chat, and that is the Safari browser made by Apple, and the Opera browser.

You can download the Safari browser here: Apple - Safari Browser

Or, the Opera browser here: Opera Web Browser

Once you download one of the above browsers, chat should then be easily accessible to you with no problems.

Enjoy.

Thank you Fluff.

This needs a stickkkk.

I already PMed Renee and requested a sticky.

'Mmmkay, smart.

I cant get into chat how come

We locked the door when we saw you coming.

Just a thought... and thankful for the sticky... but no one is going to look in forum help when they can't get into chat.

All the chat threads are posted in the fire hydrant, so they're still going to be confused and ask.

Why can't we go back to Chat and how many are there !!! ??? I don;t go there often , but loved to see who was there and join friends .

I agree Grammy. Knowing if people were there, and who was there, was a whole lot better. It was nicer when it worked with internet explorer too, so you didn't have to download a whole new browser just to get in.

Wow, things changed completely.

We all know by now... LOL

thanks fluff for the post but for some reason it wont let me download them. I hate windows vista uhh lol

Is that why everytime a chat thread is started, at least 1 or 2 members ask what's wrong and why they can't get in?

Obviously, not everyone knows by now.

I have Vista and can use Firefox

Obviously, you didn't get that I was kidding. It's okay, I don't blame you.

I still get that message when I use Firefox - I have to use Safari.

Opera doesn't work for chat, so scratch that one off the list.

It does. Just not for everyone. There are several members that use Opera and can get into chat with no problems.
