-1 RodEnuf Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 The developer reports that he has completed the integration of the new HTML-5 based Video Chat into our forum platform. This topic is being closed. If you have a problem with or a question about the new Video Chat, please start a new topic here in the Tech Support forum. Thanks to all of you for sticking with us through the transition. Thanks to @JTT for finding the new chat system, hiring and overseeing the work of the outside developer to integrate it with our forum platform. And thanks to the developer for his quick response to our project. Alan G -- Measurection Administrator 6INCHES66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Vinnig Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 I was in there last night and had no problems reading and writing text. No one had tried his camera, including myself. I just checked in (1.30.21, 14:40); no one was there but me, so I tried to activate my desktop computer's built-in camera without success. I'm using the latest version of Firefox and will try later with Safari. 6INCHES66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 zqrandy Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 After multiple fails, finally got it to work. Seems to run smoothly and a great interface. A few glitches here and there that mostly corrected themselves. The video quality is excellent. So, Edge and Firefox failed for me - winner is Chrome. Theme set to IPS Infraskew. Turned off VPN. Nice to be back in business here, I'm sure the other platforms will get fixed ultimately -happy to have access again. Thanks @JTT and @RodEnuf for your diligence!

0 Natural1 Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Sunday afternoon update: Using Chrome here. Chat & Cam worked fine this afternoon. Had 3 people on cam at one time. I didn't have to fiddle with any browser settings. Just needed to adjust my cams zoom a bit. Be patient and you will learn the icons in no time. Thanks @JTT and @RodEnuf for all of your efforts.

0 old n hard Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 @Natural1Good to know. Home alone long enough to bother camming is rare these days. Maybe I'll give it a try when that happens again. Vinnig, Natural1 and 6INCHES66 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 RodEnuf Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 @zebraben Every site member can use the built-in Messaging app to send and receive Private Messages. There are several ways to get into messaging. The most straight forward is to click the "envelope" icon near the top right corner of any page on the site. This will bring up a list of your most recent messages. If you click "Go to Inbox" at the bottom of that list, you will be taken to a page with a list of all your message threads on the left and the full thread of a message you click on to the right. If you are not an SOS Subscriber, you are limited to 50 PM threads. There can be multiple replies in each thread, but only 50 threads. To create a new PM thread after that, you must delete some threads by removing yourself from them. If you are an SOS Subscriber, you have unlimited PM threads.

0 F. LaCid Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Been in to videochat a couple of times now, seems to be quite amenable, but perhaps there is room for improvement I feel, possibly we could have a feedback mechanism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-1 RodEnuf Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Video Chat is down until we can find and install a satisfactory replacement that does not rely on Flash Video. @JTT is working on that. We had expected that Flash Video would remain available, simply with no support, for a considerable time. But it turns out that Adobe has taken active steps to block the continued use of Flash Video.

-1 JasonBeam Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 I really have to ask, it seems that some other sites still have their video capabilities, are they using flash or another platform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not Flash, which has vanished into the Great Ethers. I'll hazard a guess they are using HTML-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen two other users have been there recently Ted and blueeyes. A lot of browsers have also blocked the plugin but there are some still allow it's activation and use.
