Hi everyone,

I thought I would give my thoughts on those having trouble with the chat.....

Try emptying your temp files and cookies or cache.....I would also suggest running a spyware scan on your systems. Spyware are viruses you can pick up while surfing the internet...they can play havoc with your computers.

Here is a site to download a free program called Ad aware which you can install and scan your system...
<A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.lavasoft.nu/>http://www.lavasoft.nu/</A> it is on the left hand side....just after the professional and plus program.

Once you download it...please be sure to read the help file to make sure you use it correctly.

Hope this helps.

heather, I'm sorry you did not get any replies to this. I for one greatly appreciate your efforts to help. I think it was just timing, because at just about the time you posted this, DocJohn posted a fix to the problem that seems to be doing the trick. So, it appears that everyone has access to chat again...hip hip hooray!!!

Take care, and please don't ever stop trying to help. Your helpful nature is part of what makes you the very special person that you are.

*hugs*

Hi Heather... just saw your post. Thanks for the helpful suggestions. I haven't made any tries at chat lately, but may do it soon as I have a quiet day at home. HUGS

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved piece...but to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out and defiantly shouting "Wow! What a ride!"

<font color=purple>heatherm you have such good ideas on this stuff.... and I know you gotta take it easy heheheh would you know what could be keeping me from being "automatically returned to the forums" after making a post or sending a PM???

This was one of the first problems I encountered here, just before the chat crash. I used to be returned automatically, but not any more.

any ideas?

Hi Sky,

If you are having trouble returning to where you were...check your cookies.....it should be set to accept cookies or some functions won't work properly.

You use Internet explorer I think right? Try this to see if it works...

In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Privacy tab, and then click Advanced.
Click Override default settings, and then specify how you want Internet Explorer to handle cookies from first-party Web sites and third-party Web sites (a Web site other than the one you are currently viewing).
To specify that you want Internet Explorer to always allow cookies to be saved on your computer, click Accept.

If you only want to accept cookies from this site....
In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Privacy tab, and then click Edit.
In Address of Web site, type the complete address of the Web site for which you want to specify custom settings.
For example, http://psychcentral.com/
To specify that you want Internet Explorer to always allow cookies from the specified Web site to be saved on your computer, click Allow.

Let me know if this works.

Ok... went and allowed cookies here to stay... now let me see if I get returned after this post :}

nah... didn't work. um maybe I'll leave it and see if it requires a reboot... so I'll check when I come back on later.

nope, rebooting didn't help either.
<font color=purple>so... anyone else not being "automatically returned" to the forum after posting? It wasn't this way when I first came on. I am wondering if it is connected to whatever caused our chat crash.
