But only the second bug. Thanks anyway

Some obversations on the first bug: If I enter the chat room with Netscape 4.78 I get an empty page in full screen mode. Then I switch to another chat room and I get the full room , then I switch back I get the chat room I wanted to get first when I clicked on the full screen mode link.

OK another observation: Afterwards I entered the chat with Netscape 4.78 and enabled cookies. I got first the empty box in full screen mode with the windows back ground color then I switshed to the CTP1/2 chat room, the room appeared as it should be, then I switched back to the Apolyton chat room everything normal. Then again to the CTP1/2 chat room the first the chat room loaded as normal, but then the part of the chat room with the text in changed to the windows background collor with bigger fonts. Afterwrds I went again to the Apolyton chat room Netscape 4.78 crashed. I tried it three times.

martin, could you please remind me what's wrong with mozilla and you're stuck in netscape 4?

It is true that Mozilla 1.1 feels more like Netscape 4.78, but there is something, dynamic fonts, the size of text fields is outside 'Poly not right, and that is also true for some on 'Poly. The address bar in Netscape 4.78 is longer. If I move the cursor over the stars that shows how a thread is rated then I see I many people rated the thread in Netscape 4.78, but this is missing in Mozzilla. And what's wrong with using two browsers at the same time so I can use there advantages. Finnally you advertized the full screen mode of the chat as Netscape 4.78 compartible, so what's wrong with it if I test it and report some bugs.

It's not missing, its just not being used. The correct command is "title" within the image, not "alt." "Alt" is a MSIE command that I guess Netscape uses as well in the early days. If "title" was used then all the browsers would be able to display the scroll over text effect.

Yeah Markos you should fix this. And I see now another bug if I use Netscape 4.78. It appeared in the last days: It doesn't load the costum avatars automaticly anymore. And by the way any progress to achieve the promissed Netscape 4.78 compartibility of the chat:

MarkG -- I have an interesting flaw re the new Chat function.

When at home, I'm on AOL/Mac. When I go to chat, all I can view is the most recent entry. No (viewable) history accrues -- it just goes offscreen as soon as a new entry is made.

This was also true in the old version chatroom.

This is not a big deal to me, as I use dial-up from home and don't use chat that often anyway. But it's frustrating enough that I would not participate in, say, a Demo Game turnchat under such conditions.

Thought you'd want to know...

[MarkG]

hmmm AOL/Mac = which IE ??

[MarkG]

additions

- moderated mode for rooms
- /voice and /unvoice commands for rooms in moderated mode

Hey, I tested the chat with the w3c Amaya browser under a Lindows 2.0 OS and the chat screen doesn't works properly
