Yahoo chat rooms have apparently succumbed to the vagaries of that organisation's
incompetence (is the best word I can think of)
the Tuesday evening Chat sessions there have been deactivated.
In general the alternative the original rik's room works fine, although from time to time some chatters are having a problem getting in most recently "guitarman" Peter
see one hint below. I am going to post this on both the Newsgroup
alt.music.lightfoot accessible via the archived Google Groups site at:-http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...usic.lightfoot
or via any newsreader such as Outlook Express
and on Florian's (corfid) Discussion Forum at http://www.corfid.com/cgi-bin/ubb/Ultimate.cgi
we are getting a very satisfactory attendance in Rik's Chat Room every
Friday evening at 9 pm EST last Friday there were a total of 9 including a pair of welcome "newcomers" "Dan from NY" and "mieman from Iowa". Tonight Ron from Melbourne is hibernating so he wont bother anyone who attends for once
As previously recommended in my Newsgroup postings by far the best means to
participate is to firstly download install and configure the Internet Relay Chat
"client" mIRC
full illustrated instructions and details are shown on my web site at http://johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/c...tingupmIRC.htm
or my "shorturl" link http://www.mirc.shorturl.com
the non-mIRC direct entry URL is http://chat.cjb.net/gordonlightfootchat
or the "shorturl" link at http://www.rikschatroom.shorturl.com

Please note that riks room requires the (automatic) downloading of a Java
applet so if you do not
immediately see a largish gray/grey rectangle loading
ensure that your "Java scripting" has not somehow been set to "disable"
Internet Explorer-tools-internet options-security-custom level
then scroll down to the "scripting" options part and under java scripting
select "enable"
If you are perchance using Netscape tough! you will have to ask Ed Mullen
any other questions please e-mail me
By The Way using the direct method entails entering a nickname
which you might find has already been registered by another punter
configuring mIRC gives you the option I believe of picking any nick you
desire
once in the room either way you can simply change your nick by typing /nick
followed by whatever name you want
example type as follows /nick newname
Cheers
John Fowles
