I used to go into the chat room all the time. In fact I still stop in often to say hi to the 'regulars.' However 8:00pm eastern is 5:00pm Pacific, and I don't even stop working at 5:00pm. If you guys hang out for a couple of extra hours I night show up. Alot of the chat room regulars are pretty cool people so it shouldn't be tough to get along in there. If you start to like the chat room, there are even programs which will allow you to enter the chat room without using your web browser - so you could still browse the forums while in chat.

 

I'm pretty much in the same boat. I'm lucky if I get out of work by 6:30 PST. But then again, I'm at work right now! LOL...

shhh. don't tell anyone...

The chat room is accessible via your web browser at https://atvconnection.com/Community/Chat/ or you can access it using a chat program like MIRC and the server name is chat.atvconnection.com

There are people in the chat room almost 24 x 7. If you do happen to enter the chat room and nobody is there...just hang around for 5 minutes and someone will come into the room.

 

Hi just tried to get into chat I typed my user name and hit enter and nothing happened Does it take awhile to connect to chat or is it just a pain to access chat??? I get in other chat rooms online so can't be something at my end at least I don't think so. Any ideas?? Chuck (Cottonwood,AZ.)

 

Click on the link dbeck left, then click on 'roost on in' then you should connect. If you don't then you need to download java from sun microsystems because microsoft is trying to make java not exist. If you can't use the nickname change link below the chat window type /n <Newnickname> and that will work faster.

 

It uses a java applet which does take a minute or two to load. Internet Explorer works better than Netscape does. THere are a lot of people using it so I believe all is good on our end.

 

Sorry guys I forgot. I was installing an oil pressure guage and it turned out great. Ill keep checking the chat
