CGi-IRC problem

Ian · 10 November 2003, 23:27

It always starts like this for me, anyone else suffer from this?

jmmijo · 10 November 2003, 23:36

seems to work ok for me with MyIE2

Big-Byte · 10 November 2003, 23:50

Yes I always have this prob...

Make sure the window is maximised before you load the page.
I have to log in about 3-6 times before it corrects itsself

When you have a browser that works with 99% of the websites in the world, why install one that doesn't?

It would be smarter to just install mIRC and avoid the CGI-IRC client.

I always have this problem too Ian. I always stop it when the window comes up and refresh. Stupid, but it works...

RCK · 11 November 2003, 11:38

w2k + ie6sp1 here, no prob

Ian · 21 November 2003, 20:56

Hmm, worse and no Opera isn't the answer, I'd sooner install mIRC again.

This is for RCKs benefit, to see if there really is a problem.

Ok .. after seeing this thread again i thought i'd stick me two penneth in.

I just went too the top, clicked CHAT, got same as IAN in 1st post
(mine = ie6 etc...) but if i hit refresh it resizes the screen tonormal.

Seem like the irc client is hardcoded to a certain depth or summat and doenst like BIG clients 1st off.

Refreshing no longer fixes the problem for me, it always looks like the above picture now

However, I just clicked the chat button and didn't resize the window until it had finished loading and it was fine.

Ian B right

Same shit happens in Safari 1.0

FromWithin · 22 November 2003, 19:22

It's works here in Opera and in IE6 SP1. Does it use Java at all? Have you got the latest Java machine installed?

RCK · 25 November 2003, 20:22

no it don't use java.. (maybe it would work better in java, lol

)
anyway the irc web portal is just one alternative option for people behind firewall, at work / school, etc.. and I know there is and will be problem with it

(try the refresh tips, it work well in general)

RCK · 25 November 2003, 20:39

I just updated the CGI:IRC module to 0.5.3 ! (first update in the last 10 months from the author

)

this release should fix bugs with mozilla and opera 7 !

Antiriad · 25 November 2003, 23:07

Seems to be fixed now RCK
