  • Whooz Online and the Chat Room

    The site wide communications service is now available. It consists of two parts, both accessible via the "Whooz Online" button on the upper right hand corner of every page in the web site. All you do is click on it.

    The button will list how many people are on the site (Site) at that moment, and it will also list how many people are on the web page that you're on (Channel). If you click on it, a panel opens listing all the people and their location on the site. You are the blue "guest"; you can edit your profile and put your name in there, so your friends can identify you.

    You can start a private interaction with any of the others by just clicking on their names. You can enter the chat room, by clicking on "Chat Room". The rest is pretty self-explanatory. Make sure that you read the floating blurbs in the Chat Room for further information as to how to utilize it.

    You can use emoticons in the Chat Room and Hubz windows, just as you do in this discussion forum. The codes are the same. Basically, you type a colon directly before and after the word; it will be replaced by a small gif in the chat window. The following are emoticons that are available; remember, this is the format :emotion:

    biggrin

    blushing

    charming

    cheeky

    frigid

    confused

    cool

    crazy

    eek

    evil

        Some connection issues

        Fixed some problems with the chat room, and also made it easier to log on. Now, if you edit your profile in the Hubz Whooz Online before entering the chat room, your identity will "follow" you, and you will log directly into the chat room server.

        There are some firewall issues however. There are five ports which the chat room operates through, so it will attempt to find one port through your firewall to connect you. If some people are still having problems with connection issues, I can do a work around on my end, to stream the connection through the 8080 port. It's a bit complicated however, and I'd rather not attempt digging around that deeply into the server's guts to do it. Let me know if firewalls are an issue.
