Currently the chatroom only works with internet explorer. We have been speaking with the company who writes the software and they are hoping to change this in the next version. Obviously we'll keep you posted on this. Phil

Dear Oh dear Oh Dear, youl'd think that SOMEONE at MM Towers would have mentioned to the software supplier that most of the MM family were far too intelligent to restrict themselves to Internet Exploder!!!

| Well it doesn't work with Internet explorer for me, after clicking on the link all I get is the framework on the page with the various buttons at the bottom, but I can't see any messages (mind you I can't see the post authors in the forums either which is being discussed elsewhere)

In effect this problem excludes anyone using Linux

Friendly Guy
Not just Linux - I use Firefox under Linux and XP and it's not the o/s that's the issue, it's the browser.
Hard to slag off web authors writing for the IE family. I know, I commision websites for customers and have my own for my businesses.
IE is used by probably 95%+ of potential customers. The cost of having the 5% minority dealt with can be onerous.
If it were you paying, would you?
Hopefully this will change over time as people move away from IE, but until the corporates do it'll only be a trickle.
Again, if you were a corporate buyer or IT dept, would you junk the bundled (and supported) browser? I don't think so...
OK, so we know IE has security issues. But behind a corporate strength firewall with locked down PCs and appropriate policies applied it really isn't that bad.
The real world reality bites my friend.
I hate it as much as you do.

Trouble is Dave, 95% of IE users in this case isn't true, so the only people to blame for that is MM, not the forum software programmers.
PS
It's not just the Chatroom either, there has never been any positive response with regards attempts to fix the incompatibility problems with non-IE users on the forums either!

Ok some good news. The chat room now works with Mozilla Firefox. Not all functionality is currently supported - private chats are not possible and you cannot change your avatar - but you can now get in and get chatting!
When the next version of the chat room software is released by the developers it should hopefully have improved functionality in non-IE browsers. Phil
