GfB&B Audio|Video chat room officially released


Well it's been a while coming, but the beta version of the Audio/Video chat room that many of our members have been enjoying over the last few months is now fully integrated into the forum... this means that you will now be automatically logged into the chat using your forum name (no separate login needed). You can now also see Who's in the Chat Room by looking at the "Members currently using the GfB&B Audio Video Chat room" bar at the top of each page (just below the nav bar).

I need to give a BIG thank you to our member SkyNet (aka Carey) who is the one who made this all possible. The integration of the video chat room into our forum was way beyond my capabilities. He has done a great job and has put a lot of work into this on his weekends and time off over the last couple of months... and he hasn't complained once and has been an absolute pleasure to deal with... thank you so much Carey.

So, it's there to be used. You can also use the audio/video chat one on one by using the IM button.

Please note:There is a limit of 6 users that can use any one room at any one time. If you are the 7th user to join the chat you will automatically get put into a new room. You can either wait there for more users to join or wait until someone from the other room (or rooms) decides to change to your room or leaves the other room so you can enter as the 6th user.

Moderators and admins can enter any room even if full.


New members please note:

New users will not be able to access the chat until they have been here a certain amount of time and have a certain amount of posts or are known and recommended by an established member. This isn't for any other reason than a video chat room can be used for offensive purposes. This has happened already a couple of times... and as some of our member's children are sometimes in the chat room with them, we want to take precautions against anyone being offended.

Its been 5 years since I used a MS PC , but I remember if Java was out dated or in your browser safety area in tools was uncecked you couldnt see Java based stuff ( for safe browsing ) .

Just another area to look at

Glad you're enjoying it here Kevin. The chat is very neat isn't it? Hope you get in there more.

Cheers

Hi SkyNet
I haven't tried using Firefox to use this site. So I will try it now. My Firefox browser is in English, so I can and did remove all cookies. Explorer is in Japanese, I don't know how to remove cookies on that one. Any way I'll keep you posted on this one Clancy said she was able to get in Chat for me so maybe it has something to do with Explorer settings.

again thanks

Hi Clancy
I should have "accept cookies " ticked on firefox, on Explorer I don't know. All cookies show up and I notice I can now remove them. I told SkyNet I will try Firefox using your site. We'll see what happens now.

again thanks

Hi Skip
I think it still is a simple matter to solve. Every one has given good advice and now i am working it out. But I like what you said "Yeah, after it drives you nuts".

Okay.......so I'm on the forum and I look to see whose in the video/chat room. It says 5 people and list eddiez152, eddiez152, Rockerbob, Rockerbob, smort.

So now you guys are cloning yourselves to fill up the chat room.......

[SkyNet]

Members are duplicated in the list when the room crashes and doesn't record their exit. They'll be deleted from the list when they exit the room normally.
