VMPF Chat!

Chat is here!

If you haven't found it, it it located at the bottom right of your screen. A little tab. Just click the message icon and it should pop up.

Position and Size

Play with the icons on the chat box to get a feel. You can change the side of the page. Switch to full screen (which is just top to bottom, not the entire screen). You can also increase the width of the box by placing the pointer at the edge and waiting for the double arrow to appear - click and drag. You can turn off the user list by clicking the double head icon or you can simply resize the space by placing the pointer at the mid line and waiting for the double arrow to appear - click and drag to your liking.

Right now anyone can get on and use it. This is great if you are a guest and just want to poke around and ask questions.

There are multple ways to participate.

1. Just click and operation as a simple guest like "guest_ireland".
2. Rename yourself at the bottom left of the box by clicking the down arrow next to your name and change the given guest name.
3. Best option is to click the down arrow, sign out, and then set up an account on chatwee - you can also go through your facebook login. You can use the same user name and password as the forum.

Option 3 allows you to add an avatar.

Member to Member Chat

You can also carry on a one-on-one chat with another user simply by clicking their name in the user list and a second chat box will appear.

Posting Pictures

You can post a simple url and it will read and pop up the image.

Posting Videos

You can post videos just like the forum with a simple copy and paste.

Uploading Files

You can actually upload files and images as well by clicking the "+ Document" Icon. Jason sent us an excel file last night...

Smileys

There are smileys as well...

Moderation

We can set moderators and what not, but we won't need it right?

Im sporting 4 each, and I only wish to keep 1 of each so the rest are hot on the market as of now ..lol I also have a couple advertisements from the same era that were used in the theatres ...WRIGLEYS SPEARMINT GUM and MARCHANDS GOLDEN HAIR WASH... I HAVE 2 EACH SO 1 OF EACH OF THESE ..ALSO FOR SALE..
  • Hi and welcome darinsmith.

    To aid selling those for sale items, I'd suggest:
    - posting some links to some HIGH resolution images of your items for sale, and
    - mention their size (quite accurate) and
    - whether they are affixed to anything (like a paper or board backing) and
    - note any other condition issues front and back.

    Good luck.
  • Also, we have a category for such efforts:


    Just start a new thread and post some pictures!

    Welcome to VMPF!
  • Also chat should be locked to members only. After the bull dust that happened to Steve.
  • It has been locked to sign up only...  I can see how we can integrate it with membership.
  • Currently on signup, you can use any email address - it doesn't get checked i.e. no requirement to click a verification link. Just type in anything like:
    heckler@vmpf_chat.com
    and a second or two later you can start your foulness and abuse

    Locking to signup is a mere 5 second delay to the first time chat

    Good luck finding a solution to making chat more accountable. There must be a way as it sounds such a basic requirement.







  • Same can be said about the forum, even if I could tie the two together.  It would probably be a custom function and cost $$$...  I can ban by IP so if they pop up all I can do is ban as we go...
  • edited June 2014
    I could make it facebook only and then it would have to be attached to a facebook account?
  • Chat seems to be broken. :)]

    Might have to use the phone.
  • Thank goodness you don't have my number....
  • Yeah, looks like the site is down. I knew there was a reason I popped up wide awake at 2AM...  Do it the old fashion way and post.

    Don't fall asleep Charlie, dialling now...
  • Noooooooo! My wife will kill me and then hunt you down. Where the fuck did the emoticons go?
  • Chat if fucking everything up.  Since it can't find the chat app it spins and nothing settles...
  • Yes it's wreaking havoc with the forum. 8-}
  • OK decision time guys.  Do we want to kill chat permanently or look for a different vendor?
  • I think we should look for a different vendor and give it another go for a while. Is subscription usually yearly, quarterly??? 
  • Kill it. See what else is out there we can test that doesn't get in the way.
  • Kill it before it grows.




    Here is a handy checklist to help tell eMoviePoster.com apart from all other major auctions!
    HAS lifetime guarantees on every item - IS eMoviePoster.com
    HAS unrestored and unenhanced images - IS eMoviePoster.com
    HAS 100% honest condition descriptions - IS eMoviePoster.com
    HAS auctions where the winner is the higher of two real bidders - IS eMoviePoster.com
    HAS "buyers premiums" - NOT eMoviePoster.com
    HAS "reserves or starts over $1 - NOT eMoviePoster.com
    HAS hidden bidder IDs - NOT eMoviePoster.com
    HAS no customer service to speak of - NOT eMoviePoster.com
    HAS "nosebleed" shipping charges - NOT eMoviePoster.com
    HAS inadequate packaging - NOT eMoviePoster.com

  • Try spraying it with Salty water...
  • Maybe this thread could become the new Chat function.
  • Boiling water works too...
  • OK since Chris and Rich never come around anymore, I re-enabled chat to see how it will function.  They have made some upgrades...  [-O<
  • Some of the new functions include a pop out (new window) option...
  • I've added javascript and a link to the top menu, I've also made it a pop-up...what you wanted?
  • Chat still sucks and I am here every day keeping an eye on you renegades!

    It seriously slows down the site so much even without having it open.  Is there a way for me to disable it on my end?
  • Is it still slow for you? Seems to be much better now...
  • Charlie said:

    Yep.  It freezes up the loading of threads/pages
  • Chris, bottom right corner (the three bars) if you click on that (menu) I think you have the option to turn off chat.
