Try out new chat program

[Frank Talk Admin]

Guys, take a look at this new chat program we can try out for free until Friday. There is a monthly charge for this program. Let me know what you think. Be warned, it is very different from the old one. The old one was a Flash Player base program. Flash Player is no longer supported by any of the major browsers. This is an entirely different kind of format

Thank you Paul for the opportunity to try the new program!

It wouldn’t load running puffin on an iPad.

Looks like it runs on Safari but no one is in chat to test it.

"To get started, select a user from the left tab"...Hello?

[SteveSW]

I didn't move past the "select user" prompt. Unclear as to why singling out a person on the chat list allows you to enter the room?

Well, so much for that program. I could not really figure it out either.

If anyone has any ideas, let me know. FLashplayer is gone and we have to find a new chat program.

Actually....the chat program does work and the video chat is amazing. There are not many guys using it, so if no one else is there, it's going to be hard to try it out. We have it for free until Friday. There is a monthly charge for this service. It's not cheap, but there are not many programs out there...especially that have video.

We may have to ask for donations to help with this one! The advertising barely covers expenses. But I want to make sure that if men what a chat program, we have one.

I'm not that bothered about a chat room to be honest. I never use it.
Is it really worth the extra money?

Earlier today, four of us was on the current chat and jumped over to the new one. It's a bit confusing at first. After logging in you are not automatically moved into a chat room. You can see others that are logged on and do individual chat there and I was able to video chat with another member from there. I then created a chat room called FT Chat and all 4 of us got into the room but only 2 or 3 could get the video to work. I was using my iPad so my browser was Safari and another was on Google. Neither of those will allow video chat on the current platform. The video clarity and sound were both much better than the current one. Maybe a Go Fund Me page for the cost???
