Kiwi Biker chat

Looks great!

One problem I wasn't logged into kiwibiker when I clicked on the chat link so it came up with a box to register which when clicked on tries to go to

www.kiwibikier.co.nz

not www.kiwibiker.co.nz

Logging into kiwibiker first gets round this but ...

Nobody uses the chat feature now, as far as I can tell.

I think the problem is that the chat app sucks so much CPU that it's not practical to leave it running, and you CAN'T leave it running anyway, because it logs you out too quickly. I assume that everyone does what I do - a quick occasional pop into the chat box to see if anyone else is in there, and closing it when we discover we're on our own.

Unfortunately, with everyone doing that, it's very unlikely that we'll ever run into each other and start, you know, *chatting*.

If SpankMe ran an IRC server that required, say, site member names and passwords to connect, that would be most marvellous as a replacement for the Flash app. Whaddaya reckon Spank?

In the meantime I'm going to open the chat window for a few minutes to see if anyone else turns up.

Oh yeah, and it seems that you usually have to open and close the chat window once or twice before it figures you out and displays correctly. Good try Cajun, give it another crack eh?

Have logged on 4 times so far (around this time of an evening) and found that I am alone in the universe. Enough to bring on another existential crisis!

Im Finding The Chat Hard To Use And Its Also Very Slow........

Here is a good Idea..(Hopefully )

We need to set-up some time of when there is going to be a chat session every few days or so. This is so we can have a good proper chat to everyone at once at a certain time so we know when everyone is going to be online. Every time I have been logged in I haven’t been able to test out the chat thing as no one is in it.

How about:
Monday 08:00pm - Discuss the week ahead
Wednesday 08:00pm - General Gossip
Friday 08:00pm - Discuss what’s happening over the weekend etc
Saturday 08:00pm - Saturday Gossip
Sunday 08:00pm - Discuss the weekend rides

Don't Know what the server is like at handling heaps of requests at once (From my website) but im sure it will handle it with the speed that its spitting out pages at the moment.

Or how about we do what we are already doing and log on when we have time and talk about shit! Seems to be working thus far.

I find that sometimes if I login someone else will soon login to chat.

A major problem I had the other night though was that I couldn't login - and the people that were in that chat room said that I was showing up on the 'whose online list' as being there up to 25 times. I ended up logging into chat under a different user name.

[Posh Tourer :P]

There is often enough a couple of people in there. Chatting during the day while at work doenst work very well though....

Coming soon to a web site near you... The God Botherers v The Atheists followed by The Evolutionists v The Creationists. Personally I'd rather watch paint dry -- especially that new stuff that goes on pink and goes white as it dries...
