not sure what guys want since we seem to be all over the board with this. So what i have done is added a chatroom button that links to any url. I linked it to http://www.ircatwork.com/
for now. Any better suggestions let me know.
cheers,

So we know for a fact there is several ways to do it... Can we PLEASE get it done???/ Please???

sorry, moe, I have no permissions to change things, and I have no authority to make a decision, so, the only things I can do is give my opinion and offer my tiny skills to you and the others members of the community.  Cry

The first thing I thought was:
"This must be CGI based. It's obviously server-side anyway."

The second thing I thought was:
"There's no way this can have decent real time performance."

And that's unfortunately true... Sad

So, is your suggestion a java based one? Keep in mind there is no way to have a web client so good as a desktop or console irc client.

A twist to that solution is to point the link to a web based jirc hosted on this server. The advantage of that is we can make a setup to have #vectorlinux on freenode.net as default irc server. The html provided by moe has a feature to do that.

It would run on the client side, so it may work better.

The editor I now frequently use instead of Vim, jEdit, is also Java-based and it works quite well.

I can see your point and is well taken. A little thing still bothers me with a java client, the user with no big resources will experience a heavy slowdown on the system, once the vm is launched and all the things needed are loaded into ram, everything works well, as you said. But until the app is launched, the system is almost locked (at least in my experience). I can leave with that, but may be others can't.

You could add the code I suggested to a page that's themed like the VL Forum, and that way, the user doesn't even need to click another button, the code assigns a temporary nick "Guest##" to the users that way they go straight into the chat room

That java applet is great!
Nice work on that!  Grin

BTW, is anyone else having trouble getting nickserv to identify passwords? I can't get it to identify mine when using the applet. Undecided

Sweet!... it works great and also looks really kool.

It's good for newcomers. Some people believe it or not are new at IRC too, but there are some of us who spend lots of time on IRC, so this would allow them to get faster responses right from the forum.

I know nothing about IRC.  And don't think I would of bothered to install and set up a client just to chat.  So I'm sure there are many other people with the same feelings.  This way there is no excuse. 

Once again, great job!

Guess what, I can't use it with Firef0x either. Might have to do with me updating it yesterday though. Works fine in Konqueror Smiley.

Since we have this now, shouldn't we get the other (flash) chatroom removed?
