Getting into Chatroom (Problem Solving)
Permalink  

Hi everyone, the reason many are not able to get into the chat room for meetings is limited to 2 reasons for the most part.

#1.  Need to update/download Java software from http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp so you computer is running the most current version.

#2.  When the chatroom is loading on our site entrance at http://www.12stepforums.net/chatroom2.html a popup box will appear.  Many assume it is asking if you want to load something and again assuming they must want to load it for the chat room to load they click "YES".  However, it is not asking if you want to load something, its asking if you want to BLOCK the java from running, which is what opens and operates the room.  The answer should always be NO. YOU DO  NOT WANT TO BLOCK YOUR COMPUTER FROM RUNNING THE JAVA SOFTWARE.  

Java is a main stay in the computer program industry.  Over 3 billion applications use it.  It is not only safe, its a must have if you are going to fully enjoy what the internet has to offer, as many sites run java based elements that make them interactive and organized.

So... go get the most current version from the link at #1, and then when you try to load the chatrom page at the #2 link, and you see a popup appear, select NO.  You do not want to block the site from using your java software.

Hope this helps many of you get into the room that have been having difficulty and we'll see many more of you appear in the meetings.  

Online meetings are scheduled for 9am and 9pm eastern time.  Please attend and support them, and if you have some time in face to face Al-Anon meetings we could definetely use a few computer literate people to chair a meeting per week as service to the group.

Thanks,

John

I guess I'm doing something wrong. I followed that, have the Java, but it keeps telling me I have "Missing Plugins" and when I tell it to load them, I get "Failed". I've tried a few times :(

I had the same problem but all I had to do to solve it was actually shut down my browser and restart it, not just reload the page.
