I see other peoples' messages in the chatbox window but I can't find a way to enter my own messages. What am I missing? (besides a sharp mind).

[caliban]

can you post a screenshot?

Maybe the problem is with chrome? I can't see how to use the chatbox either, there is no place to type the text and no send button or anything like that, just the messages. I am using chrome, didn't try explorer though.

I've attached a picture along (let me know if it doesn't work)... if it matters, I'm on a Mac running Firefox.

How long has it been not working for you? I just signed up so I thought it might just be a temp problem.

Have you guys tried clearing the cache, or using a different browser ?

Also, I've seen problems like this before with some addons. In my case, it was the spellcheck addon that was causing the problem.

I don't have firefox, I have chrome. will try cache

[Luna]

didn't work!

Edit: Tried explorer, didn't work either.

odd.

No, its not browser or screenszize related on a PC. Could it be a Mac issue?

What happens if you guys try the main chatbox window:

Going to the main chatbox appears to make no difference for me. Is this the first time this problem has been brought up?

[Luna]

Same thing, no where to type/send.. I am not using mac but windows 7.

It doesn't work for me either. :(

I'm using a PC, Windows 7 64-bit, chrome browser.

[imminstBob]

The main chatbox doesn't work either. I don't think it's my Mac because I've never encountered any problems (that I know of) with websites before.

[Normal Dan]

The chatbox isn't working for me either.
I've tried on Firefox and IE 7

[Reno]

Yeah, it hasn't worked for me either. I just thought it was a full members only feature just like the signatures.

I run firefox 3.6.6, and I clear my temp files every time I close the browser.

[imminstBob]

How long has this Chatbox been up for?

[caliban]

I think its fixed now?

On reflection, maybe this should be a members-only feature?

[EricR]

It seems to be fixed for me. I can now see the input box and some buttons on right side of chat box. I could not see these previously.

I noticed that about every 30 seconds the top row of buttons moves. It looks like the "refresh" button disappears for a fraction of a second. When it disappears, the "shout" and "clear" buttons recenter themselves under the text input area. This is an observation, not a problem.

I'm using Firefox on Windows XP.

Nah, its way too quiet as it is.

Same here. The chat functionality is working but there is a minor bug that causes a "reloading" of the top 3 buttons (Shout, Clear, Refresh) once every approximately 30 seconds. Still, good job getting it to work, Caliban!

Oh hey it's working now! Thank you
