*** Now talking in #browsers



<eagel> you certainly are keeping us together
<oz1> How am I doing that?
<eagel> posting discussion and leading class

<billobee> I'm still figuring out ICQ
<eagel> Bill I dont have you on my ICQ
<eagel> have you got it installed yet?

<oz1> Richare gave me the discussion topics. I have two more but haven't had time to post them. 
<eagel> a few have posted answers too:)
<oz1> Not like I had hoped 
<eagel> not many though

<eagel> ok netscape question?
<eagel> anyone?
<eagel> did you all answer the discussion question posted to BB?
<oz1> I posted. I don't have to.


<eagel> so any other questions? or problems?
<FlorenceF> Are we supposed to be discussing our course, our problems or what?
<oz1> Yes Florence but no one seems to have anything to say tonight.
<eagel> do you have some?
<FlorenceF> This is the first time for me Eagel so I am just wandering about.
<eagel> welcome then
<eagel> and you are welcome to fly whereever you like

<Jayne> how many sites will the "Go: hold 
<eagel> I remember seeing that in the lesson I think but cant remember what it said:(
<eagel> no I know you can have at least 10 cause that is what I have at this moment

<twoshoes> What is the topic being discussed?

<billobee> anybody know how to reconnect to ICQ


<FlorenceF> what is the "Go"? f.

<eagel> yes to reconnect to ICQ  go to start/programs/mirabilis
<billobee> I did that, but didn't connect
<eagel> billogee try clickin on the net detect icon
<billobee> Think I'll try shutting down my computer and restarting
<eagel> sounds like what I should do

<Jayne> 15 oz just found it , see il soon be caught up.
<oz1> Great Jane. I didn't think it was that many.

<oz1> Do you have any questions Jayne.

<FlorenceF> Can we chat 'off line' ? I have a server that cuts me off everytime I am idle.
<oz1> Sorry-Florence.
<oz1> No you cant chat offline.

<candyman1> oz, J may mean DCC
<FlorenceF> Thanks oz.  I will have to keep my eyes on the icon.  It doesn't warn first.

<FlorenceF> Aren't we supposed to be chatting about our Netscape problems, if we have any?
<oz1> You may have to open another web page and look at other web pages Florence. Then you won't 
lose your Java page.
<oz1> Ask away.
<FlorenceF> ok. I'll do that & come back. F

<Jayne> can anyone icq billobee my messages won't go out to him , he is trying to get back in here

<oz1> I guess I didn't follow the classes last term because I don't remember anything about using 
the tab to move to different links or about control/ O.


<eagel> if there is anyone coming through the classroom I am sorry
<eagel> java ya know:(
<FlorenceF> What was all that gibberish?
<eagel> lol
<eagel> there is one
 sorry Florence
<eagel> that is a color picture
<eagel> you dont see it
<eagel> cause you are not in mirc
<eagel> correct?

<eagel> you got here through class
<twoshoes> I saw it eagle
<billobee> I'm in mirc, and I didn't see it

<eagel> if you are in mirc and didnt see it we can fix that
<eagel> is that ok pat to fix mirc or should I take aside?
<eagel> and Florence you cant see it cause of the java
<eagel> oz1
<oz1> Go ahead. I am sure it will help some others too.
<eagel> k
<eagel> go to general options in mirc toolbar
<eagel> 3rd from the left
<eagel> 2. go to switches tab
<eagel> 3.tick all off in the Strip codes
<eagel> at bottom
<billobee> when i go there it covers this screen up
<eagel> then resize or move to desktop 
<eagel> grab it by the blue bar at top
<eagel> and move it

<oz1> I think that is a little advanced for now eagel.
<eagel> just like you move your netscape windows around
<eagel> ok
<eagel> later then

<billobee> I don't move my netscape windows around

<oz1> Maybe you can read it in the logs billobee and do it later. Print it out from the logs.

<eagel> maybe we should address that then Moving netscape windows around cause that is important to 
KNOw
<eagel> I think everyone should know how to move netscape screens around 
<FlorenceF> How come I lost all the instructions that were on the screen?
<eagel> I would be lost if I couldnt have 4 or 5 screens open at this time
<oz1> Go ahead. It will help.
<candyman1> when that lesson comes up eagel
<eagel> oh I didnt realize that that would be covered
<eagel> sorry I will wait then 

<oz1> Do you know how to minimize your screen bill?
<billobee> go ahead
<candyman1> I hope it comes up
<FlorenceF> I tried to get another screen & I lost you all.
<oz1> Hang on a second Florence.
<FlorenceF> I also tried to minimize this screen - and lost you all.  Guess I am not doing very 
well.

<eagel> another what kind of screen Florence another mirc screen or another borwser
<eagel> browser

<billobee> if i click the - it minimizes to the bottom bar

<oz1> Florence-on the tool bar at the bottom of your screen right beside the mail icon is a ships 
wheel. Do you see it.

<eagel> first you have to put this screen on the desktop by clicking in the little grey box in the 
upper left hand of the screen
<eagel> then you cand click on desktop then you will be able
<eagel> to minimize the main mirc window

<FlorenceF> yes i see the ships wheel oz

<oz1> When you want to go to a different page click on that and it will take you to Netscape home. 
The VU page will go to the tool bar.

<eagel> and those listening remember Florence and billobee have gotten here by different means so 
their directions will be different Correct?

<oz1> You can then just click on the VU when you want to come back without losing the chat screen.

<oz1> Correct

-eagel- I suppose I should go enter through class at least once to see what it is like

<FlorenceF> But that ships wheel is Navigator - I use Communicator

<billobee> I can minimize mIRC down to the bottom by clicking on the 

<Jayne> ok i got that oz

<billobee> Then what

<eagel> Yes billobee and does this screen stay open?

<billobee> no

<eagel> then you first have to do this

<eagel> first you have to put this screen on the desktop by clicking in the little grey box in the 
upper left hand of the screen

<eagel> then you cand click on desktop then you will be able

<eagel> to minimize the main mirc window
<billobee> the x square or - eagel

<oz1> It does't matter Florence

<eagel> in this screen it is the little grey box in LEFT top corner

<eagel> a drop down list will appear

<oz1> It will just open a second page.

<eagel> put a check next to desktop
<eagel> this is in mirc 

<billobee> ok

<eagel> right next to where it says #browsers
<eagel> in the blue bar
<billobee> i've got the check next to desktop
<eagel> by the way that is also where you turn on logging
<eagel> now click nest to desktop
<eagel> then 
<eagel> on the main mirc window that this #browsers window is in
<eagel> click on the - in the upper right hand
<eagel> that will put all the tool stuff out of the way

<oz1> Did you try it Florence?

<eagel> then yo can resize it by grabbing the edge of the window till you get the 2 way arrow an 
change size
<eagel> k 

<billobee> when I clicked the -, it went away to the bottom line, not the desktop.

<FlorenceF> No OZ I didn't try it because it is quite different from my screen - I can normally move 
all kinds of things around - but I am not usually in Netscaape.

<billobee> I don't have any desktop visible.

<eagel> florence I dont think any of what I said will apply to you

<eagel> now for florence 
<FlorenceF> Thats is probably why I got all mixed up.
<eagel> are we trying to open this mirc window and the browser at the same time Is that what we are 
doing?

<oz1> All the windows you have open are at the bottom of your screen.

<billobee> I've got mirabilis filling the screen with mirc32 ontop of that and 3browsers on top of 
that

<FlorenceF> I don't have mirc up & running.  I had to leave it when I couldn't fill in the host 
line. It just didn't accept what I was telling it.  I will try that again tomorrow.

<eagel> <eagel> and those listening remember Florence and billobee have gotten here by different 
means so their directions will be different Correct?

<oz1> It you click on the ships wheel that will open another page and the VU page will go to the 
bottom of your screen.

<oz1> When you want to come back the the chat page then click on the button that says Virtual U on 
it or Chat. I don't know what it says.

<eagel> billobee you are getting cluttered like I get
<oz1> It will say Chat Cafe on the button.
<billobee> right
<billobee> how do I get uncluttered

<FlorenceF> I am all screwed up now.  I think I will leave and tomorrow try to get mirc going, and 
then come back on Sunday.  I also have to make Netscape my default for mail since I normally use 
Outlook Express.

<Guest11732> This is Oz
<Guest11732> I am in mirc and the java chat too.

<eagel> I also need to do mail but I think we will get to that in a later lesson
<eagel> I hope at least

<eagel> oz I want to try too

<FlorenceF> Goodnight all, if I work hard this week, maybe I will do better next time. f

<eagel> what do I do go to classroom and go to 
<eagel> lol
<eagel> office?
<oz1> Just go to VU and click on chat

have:)

<eagel> to this class first
<billobee> I just got  my desktop to show behind the #browsers

<eagel> oh what happened 
<eagel> when I resized my screen
