Guys, here is the link for chat:

I'm getting a message saying I need to update my flash client. So you might need to do that here:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
I'll be on in a few hours.

I'm getting a message saying I need to update my flash client. So you might need to do that here:

I'll be on in a few hours.
Come on in . . . the water's fine. I had a rough (but fun) weekend, so I won't be chatting long.
i can't get in...it says i need the new flash player, but i run on an ibook g4 ppc, and apparently adobe pulled support for the ppc platform, so the new version 11 won't work for me....
it recommends version 10.3, but i can't find it for download anywhere. every time i search it out, i get linked to the newest version only.
fwiw, i liked the other chat better...
It's not letting me in either, doesn't say anything about flash, just never loads.Quote:

The original IRC server went down. Since people invariably had technical problems with IRC, and some didn't like the IRC channel I set up, I haven't worked to set up a new channel yet.
I'm in with Ima and Goldensnake
well, i guess sunday chat is no longer an option for me...
If people are having problems with tinychat we can set something else up. Tinychat has a lot of users so likely they will reverse any changes that cause problems for a lot of people.Quote:

my software updates regularly so i'm pretty sure i have what i should need, i think the bigger problem is the fact the ppc platform is no longer supported...
Here's 10.1 http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get....1_archive.zipQuote:

Or here's a link to all their archived versions. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
ok, tried that, didn't work either.
guess i'm pretty much farked...
:(
Ok. I was just tryin' to find the versions you said you were having trouble finding. Too bad they didn't work. I was really hopin' one of 'em would.Quote:

And someone . . . not saying who, exactly . . . would be yelling over everyone. :pQuote:

i don't know enough about them to know what's good and what isn't, but entering "non flash chat rooms" in google did produce some results.Quote:

after farkin' around with thing damn thing most of the evening, i was able to get the adobe uninstaller program to remove the problem version, then i installed the archived version that joe provided a link for. after installing this archived version, i was able to log on to youtube, but could not view videos. also i was still unable to log into tinychat.
...so i uninstalled flash again, then rebooted and then installed the debug version. now i can log in to chat, and can view youtube videos, but most of them appear very choppy especially on full screen.
but hey, at least i can view them and can get into chat again! ;)
(...i still liked the old chat better...;D )
freespirit, you ain't missin much. I'd rather be in a canoe like the one in your avi.
I am totally offended by that comment.Quote:

I hope you can get it working, as it obviously has worked in the past, so you know it can work.....if they'd let it.Quote:

With Windows, I can put it on older PC's and make it work just fine for basic functions like getting online, watching videos and using email or even {gasp} chat. You can even get supposedly non-supported hardware working in many instances.
...and Linux is even better in that regard.
Not so with apples crapple.
Actually, is Linux an option for you? Ubuntu has a PPC version.
Maybe try booting a liveCD of that and see if it works any better for you?
You'll need a dvd burner though. Got one?

nope...
and i am not computer savvy enough to figure it out...
but i doubt it is apple's fault...adobe is the one that stopped supporting the ppc platform...not enough ppc users to justify it, i think...
