I've been waiting at a customers site for an hour now for vodafone to get an adsl connection done, and my iPhone won't go into the chat room! Any chance of updating the chat room to a non flash one?

If I'm replying to your thread and helping you out, it is because I like you and want to help out your VR-4 ownership. No other reason
What would the alternative be? I doubt there's a silverlight client for iphone, so that would leave html?
java?
my $149 voda runs Java apps no sweat and runs Opera Mini as the browser.
-_-
Java midlets or applets?
Or even one that has an iPhone app if that is possible?
Or you could buy a better phone?
or get a life and get off the phone and enjoy your ambient surroundings! Supposedly you have the most scenic country in the world!!
Still here somewhere........
Steve- the phone was free
Mike - as above, I was at a site.
Not only would you have to find a non flash based chat app, it would have to hook into Vbulletin - perhaps this - But, I cant access code to see if it would work.
But im sure there are things higher up the prio list Brad (i.e. dont fix whats not broke )

The flash chat does bug me greatly, here's why:
- It's slow and uses a lot of CPU
- It's highly prone to timing out when you're on a high latency connection (Atik suffers from this a lot)
- Not everyone has flash support on the device they want to access the chat room from
- The chat log isn't persistent, if you time out for example, you miss what has been said
What would be nice is the following:
- A HTML-based chat room (powered by AJAX / JSON*) that works on just about all browsers (including most smartphones such as WinMo, iPhone OS and Android)
- A higher timeout threshold, so people on high latency connections (ie. dialup / 3G and those with people uploading) don't lose their connection to the chat room
- A persistent log, so that when you join chat, you get the last, say, 50 lines of chat sent to you, so if you DO time out or have to restart your browser, you can come back without missing a beat
- The option to send invitations to individual non-paid members to join the chat room (this would be moderated / voted for by everyone present in the chat room)
I'm happy to develop something like this for the club if needed.
* When I say JSON, I don't mean me, JSON is a method for updating web pages without reloading them

Yep.. Non flash based Chat would be good.. Not be able to access it on any Mobs i've had on any amount of different browsers
I run IE, Opera Mini, Opera Mobile and Skyfire on my current mobile.. These 4 allow me to access most things(If 1 doesn't another 1 does) But still can't access Flashchat
This sounds very good Jason. I've developed something very similar, using a js client for xmpp. But it's for work so can't be reused. I'd be happy to work with the IT guys here at club vr4 to develop a new one though.
sounds good. Yeah in FF i've been having problems where the flash chat lags all of the open FF windows.
this sounds fantasic !!!Originally Posted by foxdie
The only upgrade I am bothered about in any future version is having use of a suitable pan smiley.
I have just about worn out my keyboard from typing /me pans....

I'm bumping this because Flash Chat is poo, 100% CPU is cooking my goddam testicles when I have my laptop on my lap
I've done some probing (oh my!), I'm fairly confident I can make a non-flash chat room that requires very little change to the site itself (only the uploading of the new chat room assets), the data feed that the flash movie uses is XML-based already so I can knock something up with jQuery relatively easily.
