Colorado Prospector - Gem and mineral prospecting and mining forums _ Chat, Cam Events and Introductions _ CP's Chatroom

Posted by: Mrs.CP Jun 1 2004, 02:28 PM

We have just added a new chat room.
http://www.coloradoprospector.com/chat.html
This is a great place to meet new people from all over the world, or maybe even in your own neighborhood. B)
We thought the more places to communicate the better! Let us know what you think.
If were not in there, then we are out planning for the rally. ;) :D

WOOOHOOOO! It's June! Almost time for a rally. B)

the new chat room is pretty neat!

Posted by: ColoradoProspector Jun 2 2004, 09:42 AM

TY Russ. :D
We are glad that everyone likes it. The chat board is a little different than some but very user friendly and can evolve as needed in the future. There are some very cool customization tools you can use on your chat browser like choosing colors for the text and window, sounds for differents things, and faces like the forum has.

Yesterday we added a registration button which will allow you to protect your username for the chat with a password.
You can still come in without registering but if you would like to reserve your user name then just take a few minutes and go through the registration.
The chat will send you an email to activate the account and after you respond you will receive a second email with a generated password.
Then you can sign in with the generated password and click the update password to change it. The database should update your info every 5 minutes or so.
Once you have completed the registration then no one else can use your name, if you or someone else comes in without the password the system will tattoo your name with a number on the end....

So far the most active times seem to be from about 6-8 am and 5-9 pm mountain time.
Sorry Redpaw, stopped in a little after 10 my time last night. Must have just missed ya... :(

Well everyone make yourselves at home in the chat and we'll see ya in there real soon. :D :D

There have been some GREAT people coming into the CP chat room lately, talking about some very interesting and educational topics. B)

It seem that the bussiest times of the day is in the AM at about 6:00, and the evenings around 5:00. If you stop in and no one is in there...just hang out for a minute, and you might be surprised who might just pop in! http://www.coloradoprospector.com/chat.html

I have been able to do ALOT of planning for the RMMR with folks in there also..........
Don't you just love the internet?! :D

Actually, I kind of have a thing for Denise! Any lady that can handle a shovel and high banker like she does is great in my book.

Posted by: wyodust Feb 11 2006, 07:20 AM

seems as tho the 6 am club has thinned down some....it seems they have started sleeping in.. ^_^

Posted by: Mrs.CP Apr 8 2006, 06:44 AM

I think the weather getting so nice is why everyone has been coming in later in the day.
There still is a morning crowd, you just have to wait a few minutes if noone is in the room. They always show up. :D

Are you unable to get into chat?

I thought I would come in here and give a little puter help to anyone who might need it for getting into chat.
Sometimes its because of settings with your puter.
Make sure you have your Jave enabled. You can do so by following these directions.....

Open your... START MENU.........then go to.......CONTROL PANEL.
In your control panel you will want to click.....INTERNET PROPERTIES......then click..... PROGRAMS.
In programs you will find a setting called......MANAGE ADD-ONS. Here you will check.....ENABLE..... to your Java.

I hope this helps some.

Sorry to say but our chat host (Parachat) is going to be ending their chat service.
This is what I received in the mail a few days ago...

We introduced ParaChat software to the world in 1996. ParaChat was among the first applications to use a brand new technology that allowed your website visitors to interact in real time on your own site. We are proud of the thriving communities, new friends, customer interaction, and improved revenue streams that ParaChat made possible for its customers. After 22 years, we announce today that all ParaChat services will permanently expire on December 31, 2018, as we move forward to other endeavors. We recommend removal of the ParaChat embed code from your site on that date.

Thank you for your patronage over the years, and for the wonderful memories. We wish you a joyous holiday season and a very happy 2019.

Warmest regards,

The ParaChat Team

This is why I brought back this older thread. It shows that we have used the same chat platform on the website since 2004, making some great friendships. We have met some great folks in that chat with some lasting memories. Tim and I have been looking into other chat options for the website but no luck so far. If you know of a good chat room platform to add, I would love to hear about it.

Thanks for all your support and understanding.
Hopefully we have a new chat room by the new year.

Finished implementing a new http://www.coloradoprospector.com/chat.html platform today. Seems to work pretty good, just adjusting a few settings still though.

Enjoy!
