Sleuth Home - Message Boards - Sleuth Talk

At long last, I've finally gotten around to adding a live chat to Sleuth. We're testing out this new feature to see how well it works, so bear with us in the sort term, if there are problems.

For now, you can chat in the bars in all of the cities, and in the Coffee Roaster in Cairo.

You need to have Flash installed on your browser in order to use this feature.

Please report any bugs here.

I am having the same problem as balash 3. Using both Firefox and IE, I click the link for chat and get a blank screen. It is a blank screen that takes some time to load, so I know something is getting transmitted.

Ok. Nevermind. Right after posting here I tried again and this time it worked. I did change themes before trying since I was curious if the Flat Black theme I always use was somehow goofing things. Very nice feature by the way.

Hm. I use flat black and it worked well for me.

As soon as it started working, I switched back to Flat Black and it was fine. I don't think that the theme was the issue. But since that is something I did between the chat not working and working, I reported it just in case.

That happened to me mamaterra but when i completely closed my internet explorer then signed back in at sleuth, I have no problems now.

I doubt that your theme effects it. The chat client may occasionally have trouble connecting, particularly if your internet connection is slow or erratic. If that happens, the best thing to do is wait a minute and refresh the page.

MamaTerra, you should be able to get into chat now. I'll work on fixing that problem where chat is hanging onto your nickname when you lose your connection unexpectedly.

chat is fun

For anyone who gets the 'blank screen' thing happening to them, I have found that after the page has fully loaded that by hitting refresh/reload seems to kick start it.

Whenever I try to connect, I get a message saying chat is unavailable. This at the same time one of my agency members is using it. I assume it's a problem with my connection. Does anyone have any suggestions?
