I am testing some live chat software for those who would like to try some real time chat. I think we have enough members now so that it may become a useful feature for those who would like the option.
Just a few rules:
No swearing or personal attacks
No ramping (okay, well try)
No commercial activity or spam
Be aware that all conversations are logged so I will know who has misbehaved. Violating any of the above rules will result in your suspension from live chat.
Remember, this is just a trial and I will be using this initial period to determine whether or not it will become a permanent feature of the site. Please don't make me regret I installed it. :sly:
Feel free to tell me how you feel about it in this thread.
Have fun! :) Click 'Chat' in the navigation bar bar above to begin.

The only thing you need installed is flash. Other than that you should have no trouble.
Anyone else having issues?

im in with no probs.....
Excellent idea, very clean interface and damn quick too. Much better than some of those clunky java web based chats.
cant wait to use it on a busy and interesting trading day, should be traffic galore.....

Seems to work well.
Obviously not that busy at the moment, only US traders up at this time.

Thanks Joe. Are there just the two chat options i.e. Daytraders and Techtalk?

Hi Julia. There are only the two rooms at the moment but I can create more very easily. I can also create password protected rooms so only those who know the password can enter.

Although I said I didn't want it - it is actually pretty cool if you want to talk in real time.
Good one thanks Joe

Joe, I found typing in the chat forum like trying to run in knee deep water, duc suggests it's my broadband or is it just flash? When I type it takes a second or so for the letters to appear...

I have noticed this occasionally myself. I am just about to upgrade my hosting and I'm wondering if that could have anything to do with it. Perhaps the chat feature is putting a little too much strain on the server's resources? Or alternatively it could be an issue with some member's ISP's.
Anyway, I will have a better idea when I upgrade the hosting which should be later this month.
If I find anything else out in the meantime I will post it in this thread.

Hello Joe
Is it possible with the chat software your using to show the previous 20 or so post when you sign-in like various other chat sites do. You can come in half way through a chat and have no clue what posters have been chatting about. I also think some members who sign-in and see no posts may think nothing is going on and leave.
Keep up the good work.
Regards Roughie

Hi Rough Trade... I'm not sure that is an option with this live chat software but I will double check and enable it if it is.

Dunno if my computer has anything to do with this, but using the chat through firefox was pretty rough. Computer slowed to a crawl whilst I was using it :mad:
I loaded it up through IE and it worked perfectly(and so did my computer)
Anyone else experienced similar problems?

Hi Joe
We have been using the chat site to go back and forth between work, trading and keeping informed on various stocks. Tne method is to log in then when you come back, to check the save records of posts since your log-in. This lets you browse what has happened while you are away. Yesterday at one point when I came back to the chat screen, the message displayed was that "Time had elapsed and I had been logged off". Is this normal to boot someone if they haven't posted within a certain time frame? If so can you advise the time frame we need to operate within to avoid being booted and losing access to the discussion threads?
regards

Hi nulla,
I'm not 100% sure to be honest. I haven't explored the live chat software as much as I should have. I would suggest just experimenting with it a little. Ensure that you have clicked the 'Remember Me' box next to the login form when you log in to ASF. That way you will remain logged in until you manually log out. If you don't check this box you will automatically be logged out after 20 minutes of inactivity.

I only just discovered the live chat room on ASF. Noticed that it's usually empty :( Great feature not being used, I sometimes use other trading live chats on those long lonely US hours trading sessions. It would be great to bounce ideas off other traders while live!

I had the chat sit open for two hours today and no-one came in. Eventually i closed it out to uise the screen for other work. It has been a bit quiet in there since the site upgrade and some chatters are chatting elsewhere. Give it time and people will return.

Thanks Joe. Broadcasting when chatters are in the room, particularly those with interests in discussing a specific topic, is a good idea.
Been arround for a while too but appears to have disappeared over time. :)
