Okay, all. The chat room is up. The link to get there is on the front page. OR you can simply Click Here (http://www.80sxchange.com/chatroom.htm)! It's not completely ready yet, but it's functioning. You don't have to pay anything, ever to go in and chat. It's free. BUT - if you want special options like the ability to play games and stuff like that, it'll cost about $5.00 per year. I'll be assigning two administrators - can you guess who they'll be? <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> I will buy them accounts so they can have the options they need - such as kicking, banning, etc...

Cool! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I just logged into the chat room... but there was nobody there... <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

Pretty cool Sal!! <img src="cool.gif" border="0"> I popped in there to check it out. Can't wait to really use it. Don't have time this morning. Thanks for putting it together for us. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I can't go in yet....my Admin voucher don't work <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> Hopefully Sal gets in here while I'm here today...grrr <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Change the number on that, Roem.

061130506

6 instead of an 8

Whoo-hoo!! I'm in!! This does look pretty kick ass Sal! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> Now I just need the admin deal going <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

You're in. You're an admin. Not Man will be in as soon as I get home - or atleast his account will be created. After that, I can appoint him Admin.. I'm pretty sure you have to click a username to see the admin options. It's new so we'll have to learn it together...

Whoo-hoo! It works! Just in time too...I gotta go in a minute <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Not Man's account is ready as well. Sending him a PM right now...

I think I did something wrong Sal. <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> I sent you a PM <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Sal, now that the chat room is up and running, I was wondering if I could schedule a time to do a chat regarding my book, The Totally Awesome 80s Pop Music Trivia Book (http://www.SwiftSite.com/80sdude)??? I'm still having to do most of my own publicity, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Just let me know...

Looks great!! But there was no one there. I tried talking to myself but got no answer <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> LOL

You are losing it topcat....talking to yourself. <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I just checked it out. Looks like it will be a pretty cool place.

That's because you're there too early Topcat <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> The freaks come out at night...late at night <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Well, I'm here now...all alone (big surprise) <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Oh wait...there's everybody <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Wow! That place is a hoot!!! Snuck into there last night while at work (shhh...). Roemello, Jazzmyn and Silverado were all partying. If you haven't tried it out yet, give it a shot. Whole lotta funt o be had using that system.

Thanks again, Sal. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> I'm gonna have to buy you a plane ticket to Phoenix one day, just so I can meet you.

Haha! Thanks, Shakey! I'm glad everyone is liking it.. I'll have to get Not Man setup completely this afternoon. Sorry, Not Man. I'll go get your PM right now.. I'm sure there is a good explanation... It was easy for Roemello because I was home when setting him up. Right now, I'm not there - but I will be this afternoon.. You'll be setup shortly...

Thanks Sal. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> You da man! *high fives Sal* <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I have my Administrative powers....Whoo Hooo!
<img src="cool.gif" border="0">

Now be sure not to be a stranger 'round those parts Shakey <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> That goes for everyone...chatting and hangin' on the Xchange is a possible feat <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

A stranger? When have you known me to be a stranger? Not me, brother... I'm 100% "Postaholic"... <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

then, where are you?

I love it! Great to talk to others here in real-time!! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> Better for being naughtier!! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I think I should ask, where are you Myst? We got Me, Pagan, Shei, and Mayhem...I see your name on the boards, but no chat? *breaks down* <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Woo-hoo! What an awesome idea! Nothing beats real time chat!

Isn't it cool!? Haven't chatted in real time with most of you yet. But can now, no excuses!! <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

There's even members popping in that don't normally say too much on the boards which is cool....best way to get to know everyone better is through this chatroom <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

That it is!! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> Everybody get Your butts in there, asap!!! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Well, I've tried to get into the chat room, but as far as I get is chosing an avatar and getting to a blank screen except for the top of the screen it says "dreamchat launcher window", and then nothing happens.
I tried it three times now with the same result. Am I doing something wrong or is it because I'm on Webtv? <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

Is there a way to get to chat room from main forum page? Other than Sal's post here??

Hope you can get in sometime Sarg <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I've tried it from the main page too.
It was a no go!

It is JAVA <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> We miss you <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> Webtv can't support it

Can you read the messages Sarg?? <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

No! I can't read the messages. The only thing I could get were the headings, but nothing happens when I click on them.

Top Cat is right, Webtv doesn't support Java, it supports Java Script.
Oh Well, guess I'll have to miss out until I get my computer. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

Hope you get computer soon <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> You will be ther in spirit until then <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
That means we can talk about you all we want and you will never know!! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> LOL

Just so you know Sarg everytime you came in topcat and me said Hi <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I have had an account with this site for going on over a year I believe. I have been offline now for about 2 and a 1/2 months and I come back and my email is gone. I had the email addy kristine@80sxchange.com and I can't seem to access it. It is quite important that I gain access to this acount as I have a few rather important items I need to get to. I have tried emailing the main person from this site Sal with no response. I was wondering if someone else could maybe answer this question and help me out here? It would be greatly appriciated.

I am sorry to say that the email service was lost about 3 months ago......

Here is a link to the thread that explains what happened: http://www.80sxchange.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=45&t=000074

Sorry Sarg - I wish you could get on. Maybe soon when you get your PC.

Kris. Sorry too. I haven't been home to receive email in about 5 days. <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> Our email accounts were lost when everyone.net decided to make changes without telling anyone. I'm sure there is a way to get them to give you access to your email account. But, I tried for months with no success at all. It's almost like they don't know how but I'm sure they do. I think it must be a lot of work and nobody over there wants to do it.

If you contact everyone.net and make any progress, please let me know. I tried for a long time and have given up. I get emails every day notifying me of messages in my in-box but have no way to obtain them. I totally understand your frustration - and I apologize...
