we have concluded our testing, thanks for everyones feedback. after testing the new chat, we decided to stick with the previous chat program we have been using.
for some reason we have not figured out, a few people are having problems using the chat. the java chat works best with the microsoft internet explorer browser (ie). if you are having problems accessing the chat, please try ie you can download ie at:
Specializes in CCU, Geriatrics, Critical Care, Tele.
For some reason, it takes a few minutes for things to load for sometimes and sometimes a few seconds? Not sure why the lag time. For those of you on a dialup modem, it will take longer than those with a high speed connection.
It took 3 or 4 minutes to download at a speed of 28.8. Then my computer sat and went clickety clickety for a couple minutes. When it finally stopped clicking the task bar said "applet started" and I had a chat window on my screen but none of the buttons would do anything and nothing happens when I type in the box. Oh, and I am using an antiquated version of IE and still running in windows 95.
It loaded fine, but every time I typed something (yes, I was talking to myself...... :lol), it just sorta.........disappeared.......when I hit the enter key. ???????
I just get a blank gray area with nothing. However, I'm logging in from the network at work so they may have done something on the network to disable chat. Is that possible?
