Tech Questions and Information

[Jonesy]

Hi misc

I know the feeling of frustration when losing a post only too well. Using the back button on your browser, as becomingbutterfly has mentioned, is always worth a try but it's a good idea when writing a longer post to use word then copy and paste it in.
I have learned this lesson the hard way and still get caught out on occasions.

Thankyou becomingbutterfly and jonsey,

yes will have to try all ideas, i have pressed the back button before and it returns to the page but its empty,never mind will have to try to remember to do as suggested..its just sometimes i write a post not meaning for it to be so detailed and then i just take to long..

Hi Vince,

I feel like I'm talking to the wizard behind the curtain at Oz. I'm sure Jonesy mentioned this but now you will see it first hand -- the post without a trigger! But that's not why I am writing.

Can you please add a heart and a hug to the emoticons? Since you are a techie I figure if anyone can do it it would be you! A vomiting one would be great too! We just hate being limited in the expression of emotion now that we are getting accustomed to emotion.

Thanks Vince. You rock!!!!

Mobile Devices
There has been an issue with accessing the chat room from mobile devices this week-- seemingly isolated to iOS devices (iPhones, IPads, etc). As of this hour, the issue seems to be resolved. Please be in contact if you continue to have any mobile log-in difficulties.

Computers
Some users have been experiencing difficulty between their browsers and the latest Java software update so have not been able to access the chatroom.

Users can reinstall Java specific to their computer's operating system by following the instructions below:
1. First, un-install any version of Java you're currently using
2. Click on the following link: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
3. Scroll down to find the operating system that you're using
4. Click the download link for the version recommended for your operating system.
***Select the offline download as this method works very well, especially for users of MSIE v7.0 and higher, and users of Windows Vista.***
5. Download the file to your desktop.
6. Close all open browsers
7. Double-click the file you've just downloaded to begin installing Java

Another reported issue is that Java's latest version is running in 64 bit and some browsers are running in 32 bit (ie Google Chrome). It seems the solution of installing an older 32 bit version of Java can solve the problem.
Users can go here: http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and download the 32 bit version of Java.
Another quick successful solution is to access chat using a 64 bit enabled browser such as Firefox, Safari, Opera or Internet Explorer.

There is additional information for Windows Vista Users here: http://www.isurvive.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=19

Please be in contact if you have any difficulties or continued issues logging in.

Hi Tommy,

I am still unable to log into chat. It says that the forum is "closed". I'm using my IPad. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Can you help? Thank you.
