#campus topic set by Zonie on Wed May 06 21:56:29

<Dowie> Blossom I posted a message about my nick not 
showing on others nicklist.  Waiting for reply.
<Dowie> From ICQ I mean.

<Blossom^-n-class> Dowie.....it's showing on mine
........maybe they just need to check in Info and 
update it........

<Dowie> They tried that.  On Star's list the nick was 
there, then the number then the nick now only the number, 
I think.

<z-kittycat> Dowie--you are on mine--but not on right 
now?

<eagel> Dowie I have both you number listing and your 
Dowie name on my list

<z-StarByte> me 2!

<Blossom^-n-class> hmmmmmmmmmmm.......must be one of 
those glitches Dowie......you should e-mail support at 
ICQ on that one

<Dowie> Do you have Dowie and Dowie/ICQ eagel and Star?

<z-StarByte> Dowie & just UIN# on mine 

<eagel> no I have dowie and 11139976

<Dowie> Yes, that's what I thought.  The 11139976 is my 
ICQ account for class.
<Dowie> For some reason it doesn't display as a name 
just number.

<eagel> right
<eagel> cause you did it that way

<Dowie> Did what that way?

<eagel> cause you didnt enter any other info

<Blossom^-n-class> do you have your nick in the INFO 
for that number Dowie?

<eagel> started your icq number

<Dowie> Yes, eagel, in my details I have nick and email 
address.

<Blossom^-n-class> hmmmmmmmmmm.........glitch then for 
sure.....

<Dowie> I have messaged ICQ Support and am waiting for 
reply.

<Blossom^-n-class> that's good Dowie......how about 
letting us know what they say?..please?
<Blossom^-n-class> post it to the BB

<Dowie> Blossom, when I hear I will post to BB.

<Blossom^-n-class> thanks Dowie!

<eagel>  not on mine There is no nick or email 

<z-elaine> mine either

<eagel> so I need to update to make those changes go 
into effect I guess

<z-StarByte> Mine either
<z-StarByte> I have done update on her several times 
and still stays as UIN#

<Blossom^-n-class> yes try that eagel and starbyte......
see if it changes

<Dowie> If they will go into effect.  They have always 
been there, but for some reason users can't get it.

<eagel> nope still no nick
<eagel> no info at all is listed

<z-StarByte> same here!

<z-elaine> me too

<Blossom^-n-class> I don't have Dowie2........what's the 
UIN#?

<Dowie> Blossom the nick is Dowie/ICQ, UIN 11139976

<Blossom^-n-class> ok.......hang on a second let me get 
it and see what happens......

<Blossom^-n-class> ok Dowie
<Blossom^-n-class> first of all no Nick and E-mail are 
showing in the Search......only the UIN#

<Blossom^-n-class> maybe going to the White Pages and 
updating it there will do the trick....then everyone can 
update it and see if they get the info
<Blossom^-n-class> it's worth a try anyway......

<z-Dowie> k

<Blossom^-n-class> Dowie do you have any other questions?

<Dowie> no questions.



<Blossom^-n-class> kayroller do you have a question?

<kayroller> will there be a way to do popups and wavs 
on icq? and my UIN is 10411865

<Blossom^-n-class> no kayroller......there's no way to 
do popups in ICQ.....or send sounds like in IRC....sorry

<kayroller> ok I was just wondering 

<Blossom^-n-class> In chat there is a sound that you can 
send......but 
<Blossom^-n-class> I really don't know if changing it 
will let the other person hear that wav unless they have 
it on their computer too

<z-ttrimm> it wont

<Blossom^-n-class> that's what I thought......

<z-ttrimm> they have to have that sound in their 
configuration

<Blossom^-n-class> thanks ttrim!

<z-ttrimm> sure



<Blossom^-n-class> possum.......do you have a question?

<possum> Yes

<Blossom^-n-class> ok

<possum> I do have a question?

<Blossom^-n-class> what can I help you with?

<possum> I tried to ask you saturday when we were all 
chatting...

<Blossom^-n-class> ok........

<possum> Is there a way to change your nick in ICQ?

<Blossom^-n-class> No there isn't possum......

<Blossom^-n-class> sorry

<possum> I mean an easy way like in mIRC?

<Blossom^-n-class> there sure isn't.....

<possum> Second question

<Blossom^-n-class> k

<possum> Lately our computer has been calling our ISP on 
its own!!

<Blossom^-n-class> ?........explain please

<possum> We have unlimited hours but I don't want to tie 
up a modem at the ISP

<z-ttrimm> do you have CoolTalk on your computer

<possum> No we have net meeting and ICQ

<Blossom^-n-class> ohhhhhhhh........I think I know........
hold on a minute let me check something possum

<z-ttrimm> when I had cooltalk, it used to call on its 
own

<eagel> my ISP (msn) does that alot even when I am 
already on 

<possum> We think it is probaly Outlook Express and our 
directory needs to be redone

<eagel> oh please go on I also have outlook express

<possum> I DO know I can't use the automatic 20 minute 
disconnect with ICQ

<Blossom^-n-class> Do you have "Launch ICQ on Start
up" checked?
<Blossom^-n-class> It's in Preferences under Connection

<possum> So  did think it could be a possibility!

<possum> it probably is Outlook Express though.

<Blossom^-n-class> even if you do it shouldn't do what 
you're describing.....it should only load after you have 
connected to internet

<possum> Yes blosson I do have Launch checked I am sure 
but I will check to make sure!!

<Blossom^-n-class> ok possum.......but it still 
shouldn't be doing that 

<Blossom^-n-class> even if you do have it checked

<Zonie> many programs have auto dialup in there setups

<Blossom^-n-class> Zonie's right

<possum> Well I think it is probably Outlook Express

<Blossom^-n-class> ok......let us know what happens 
possum, please

<possum> shutting the OUtlook Express window seems to 
work
<possum> It hasn't dialed the ISp today at least!!



<z-Jayne> I don't have possum on my icq list.

<eagel> possum might be Bruce on your list

<possum> Yes I probably need another name

<z-elaine> possum - i don't have you or Bruce

<possum> and number for this class I didn't do that!!

<possum> I thought you could just change nicks like in 
mIRC

<Blossom^-n-class> nope it doesn't work like that

<Zonie> IRC and ICQ like night and day

<Dowie> I thought you could just change the nick in the 
details...no?

<z-ttrimm> Have you checked into the white pages??

<z-ttrimm> that is what I am looking at

<Blossom^-n-class> I think you can do that Dowie.....
but not in chat mode

<Dowie> Thanks, Blossom, missed that we were talking 
about chat mode.

<Blossom^-n-class> that's okay Dowie.......it's good to 
know......

<possum> k those are my questions

<Blossom^-n-class> ok...possum




<Blossom^-n-class> eagel do you have a question?

<eagel> back to sound question
<eagel> so if I change that beep beep to my own sound 
others will hear the changed sound and those who don't 
have the sound in their ICQ sound files will only hear 
the beep beep?

<StarByte> I changed my sounds in ICQ...If I play the 
horn, will they hear what I hear or will they hear the 
horn still?  And I was letting possum go first... :-)

<z-ttrimm> yep

<Blossom^-n-class> that's right eagel........

<eagel> k thanks



<Blossom^-n-class> any other questions?
<Blossom^-n-class> these are all good questions........

<Blossom^-n-class> elaine do you have a question?

<elaine> Is there a master list of everyone's UIN's and 
nicknames somewhere?

<Blossom^-n-class> not that I am aware of elaine.....

<elaine> ok thanks

<Blossom^-n-class> are you in a study group elaine?

<elaine> no i'm not

<elaine> could everyone list there's here

<Blossom^-n-class> you could post on the BB and ask 
everyone to e-mail their UIN# to you......

<Granny-Wicked> icq has a master list, but you have to 
quess the nicks and check it out I did when I first 
started put in granny, wow, lots of granny's listed

<z-eagel> elaine but you could go down the list of 
people that are here and add them to your list now

check here there are some listed

<Blossom^-n-class> Omri........hmmmmmmmm........
honestly I haven't set up an ICQ chat room.....
can anyone here answer that one?....I'll have to look 
into it and put it on the FYI

<z-ttrimm> I wondered about that too
<z-ttrimm> from what I have seen, they are the same
<z-ttrimm> I was expecing a 'room'

<Blossom^-n-class> that's what I thought ttrimm too

<Omri> I have been using one for this class
<Omri> and see no difference what so ever

<z-ttrimm> and you have a HECK of a time making changes 
in users groups!!!!

<Who> Blossom....I thought we were going to move the 
classes to ICQ sometime soon?

<Blossom^-n-class> we are Who........going to try that 
next week........

* Granny-Wicked said how who? I thought you could only 
have 5 ppl in one chat room?



<z-Jayne> Zonie i don't have otter or who

<Zonie> * z-Jayne * ?



<Who> Chat mode

<Blossom^-n-class> we'll be here and there........LOL

* Granny-Wicked said how who? I thought you could only 
have 5 ppl in one chat room?

<Omri> we had more than that in mine

<Who> IRC mode
<Who> sorry

<z-ttrimm> no way

<Blossom^-n-class> we're going to attempt it.........
I haven't found a thing that said there was a limit as 
yet

* Granny-Wicked said oh really? cool

<z-ttrimm> you have to have it in IRC style

<z-eagel> No Granny we had 10 the other day for group

<Blossom^-n-class> In IRC mode it should be possible...
we're gonna try it anyway......next Wednesday night

<Granny-Wicked> yes I knew that ttrimm, cool eagel

* Granny-Wicked said wow awesome blossom!!

<Granny-Wicked> I will be there!!

<Blossom^-n-class> LOL

<z-ttrimm> i have had up to twelve...Omri and I had a 
bunch once!!

<Who> tt...were you in IRC mode?

<Blossom^-n-class> that's great ttrimm!

<z-ttrimm> yeah

<z-eagel> yes it automatially kicks into irc style 
after 7

<Who> For those who haven't tried IRC mode...instead of 
separate windows for each person...

<Who> there is one window and it looks much like this 
one

<z-ttrimm> if you get over six...irc really helps!

* Granny-Wicked said this will be exciting, only ever 
had 4 at most in one room, (before I learned irc style) 
wierd it was

<z-eagel> and you cant switch back

<Omri> yes and we lost some words of those who did not 
change to irc style

<z-AM> Yes that was the one I was in the other night

<Blossom^-n-class> you're right granny!
<Blossom^-n-class> yes that will happen too Omri

<z-ttrimm> and when you right click on someones name in 
IRC style, you can still do ICQ stuff

<z-eagel> like what ttrimm?

<z-eacglesct> be shure to set the override for  color or 
it may be  impossible to    see  some    people

<Blossom^-n-class> That's right eaglesct!

<z-ttrimm> someone even said add a person...i haven't 
seen that one...

<Blossom^-n-class> I'll have some rules set up and we'll 
do a switch to ICQ chat but still be here just in case

<z-ttrimm> yeah!!!
<z-ttrimm> send a file...contact list...send a URL
<z-ttrimm> etc
<z-ttrimm> the usual stuff

* Granny-Wicked said only problem is everyone knows when 
you are not there, your nick goes sideways!! *S*

<Who> I hear that some people may be in IRC mode and some 
in ICQ mode and it get confusing???

<Omri> yes and we lost some words of those who did not 
change to irc style


<Blossom^-n-class> there will be rules to follow......I 
promise.........

<z-candyman> granny--your sideways is "italic"

<z-ttrimm> no CTRL G?? hehehehe

<Blossom^-n-class> and you will just need to keep your 
ICQ window active......that's all.....

<z-eagel> but if there are more than 7 people you dont 
have the choice you are automatically in irc style 
Isn't that correct? I couldnt switch back the other 
night when we had 10

<Granny-Wicked> yes candyman and you will know when 
someone is doing something else when the nick goes 
italic

<z-ttrimm> and underline

<Blossom^-n-class> I think you may be right eagel......
but it will be better for everyone to have it set that 
way from the beginning anyway.....

<Omri> if i am a chat room can I join someone elses chat 
room in session?
<z-eagel> yes omri
<Blossom^-n-class> Yes, Omri.......you can have two 
going.....I have before........but it gets real 
confusing....LOL
<Omri> thanks
<Blossom^-n-class> you're welcome......: )

* Who querries "Do they have popups and aliases in ICQ?
<z-ttrimm> nope
<z-ttrimm> Just CTRL G and OUTLANDISH COLORS!!
