Questions & Answers


Question: I have tried to enter my favorite room using your IRC`s but i always get This Room Is Empty. Why is this?

Answer: TalkCity uses two servers now. If you get "This Room Is Empty" when you enter a room you know is being used change chat.talkcity.com on the IRC to morechat.talkcity.com

Question: I have cut, copied and pasted the IRC to my file manager but when i type a message all i get on the screen is null. I type a message and i can see it in the box but when i try to put it on the screen it stays in the box.

Answer: This is normally caused by a mistake in Part-2 of the cut, copy, and paste. Delete out Part-2 from your IRC, then cut, copy, and paste it back to the same place. Sometimes codes can jump out of align when they are cut, copied, and pasted. But the most common reason for this happening is using the Back key while working on or editing the IRC. "Never use the Back key to return to your edit page". If you still have this problem it might be easier to start your IRC over again.

If you still have problems cut, copy, an paste the IRC to your file manager with out making any changes to the codes. Test the IRC to see if it works. If you have made no mistakes while cut, copying, and pasting this IRC it will work. Then make changes by using the edit page in your file manager.




Question: How do i add Options?

Answer: Go to D & C`s IRC Resource Site or StonerCity, choose what you want to add to the optionbox, cut, copy, and paste the code to a new html file in your homepage server file manager.Tripod will be listed as Create A Custom Page. Geocites will be listed as Create A New HTML File. Add the URL to your IRC`s optionbox. "NOTE" Some codes come in two parts. Add both parts to the same html file. Repeat these steps for each Option you add. Click HERE for a example of my optionbox. My options will not work on your IRC. The pulldowns codes have to come from the same page as the IRC for them to change.




Question: Sometimes while using the IRC`s my screen goes blank. Ive also noticed that it happens when im not using a IRC. What causes this?

Answer: There are several reasons this happens. The main reason is the large amout of users on Talkcity. Over crowding can also cause lag. What we have to remember is that any network can only support so many users at one time. Talkcity has tried to correct this problem by adding on another server. [chat2.talkcity.com]. If you have problems with the screen freezing delete out chat.talkcity.com & try this server to see if it corrects the problem. Either server you use will still take you to what ever room you want to go to.

chat2.talkcity.com

Question: I have finished making my IRC and i`m ready to use it. Where do i go to pick it up?

Answer: We receive this question sometimes and still haven`t figured out what is exactly meant by it. We do not store the IRC for you. You have to have a homepage provider such as Tipod, Geocities or Angelfire before you can use your IRC. You need to cut, copy, and paste your IRC to the filemanager at this service and store it there. To have your IRC added to our list after you have built it and saved it in your homepage filemanager click here. Add My IRC To The List Besure to send the correct URL for the IRC, and the name.


Question: How do i find the correct URL for my IRC?

Answer: To find the correct URL go on the IRC just like you are going to use it. Hit the Go To key on your Keyboard. When the screen comes ups click on Show Current. The code that appears in the box is the URL you need to send to me to have your IRC added to the list. This code can be cut, copied, and pasted to the submit mail. Or you can go on your IRC and hit the Send key on your keyboard and mail directly to me at dale11@webtv.net Besure to add the name of the IRC to the Email.
