Firefox and Instant Messenger
Does the sidebar instant messenger not work with Firefox? Whenever I try to participate I never see the message that I tried sending.
Re: Firefox and Instant Messenger
I have Firefox and it works fine for me. It was recently hacked and has been offline. Perhaps you are experiencing that?
Re: Firefox and Instant Messenger
I can see other messages that people are writing... but whenever I type something in and hit "post"... nothing.
Re: Firefox and Instant Messenger
That sounds odd, but with the IM open, refresh Teachat and see if it works then.KellyM wrote:I can see other messages that people are writing... but whenever I type something in and hit "post"... nothing.
Re: Firefox and Instant Messenger
Solved. You need 10 forum posts before you can post in Instant Messenger.

This is new protocol to help reduce IM abuse such as we have experienced recently. Unfortunately a few ruined it for many. http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=14151
Unfortunately now an anon or new member cannot pop on and ask a question ...
Re: Firefox and Instant Messenger
Not even sure if it's possible - but is there a way to disable chat until a member reaches the 10 post requirement?
If not, some sort of fyi may be useful for those who end up curious like I was.
(evil laugh - I'm now one post closer to IM!)

Ohio huh? I'm a native Ohioan - Athens. Now living in So CA.
Where are you?

Re: Firefox and Instant Messenger
I know Athens! I ended up in an honor band while in high school and we had to go to OU for our practice/performance. I'm from the Cincinnati area.
Re: Firefox and Instant Messenger
I'm glad I did a search for this. Is there any way that this information can be more readily available for newbies to see? (Perhaps someone can add it to the forum rules?)

Well, that could also defeat the purpose of the covert nature if this protocol. A troll or spammer reads the rule, and posts 10 meaningless posts ... and there have been these types of problems which is why this was added.manekineko wrote:I'm glad I did a search for this.

It is a tough call to make.
I think adding a statement to the rules as to "why isn't my IM working?" Contact Moderator might be better.
Thanks for your input.

Re: Firefox and Instant Messenger
Sounds good--I didn't think about that one! It's probably why I'm not a forum moderator ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
