Is that what it is? I saw it for a few minutes at the top of the screen and thought it was an Ad (even posted in the comments thread about it's nuisance)
But, now that it's at the bottom and out of the way I don't mind one bit
so... am I lame for not having a clue what Meebo is? ???

This whole thing is very confusing to me. I stay on the 20 most recent page most of the time, but when I refresh the page, all of the words I typed before in the meebo thing are gone.

LI Guy, when you get back on, can you explain Meebo a little more? Since you put it here, I'm sure it's cool, but I can't figure out how or why (and I don't think I am alone there)

just an FYI, meebo is a chat client that we used alot pre-roo (because the 'chat' up there wasnt workin for alot of folks).. now i guess its embedded on the site, but i guess there are problems..thats basically all it is.. a chat client ...
We need away to stop the videos from auto-starting...the theme song for the "walking the cat" video is driving me a bit crazy! No offense to the video, I enjoyed it the first time, but it auto-starts on every page!

Whatever it is I hate it.
Everytime I click on a new page a Youtube video starts - Youtube is banned from my work so I won't be able to use it at work without getting in trouble. Plus we are not allowed IM of any kind so yeah I hate it sorry.

just turn the sound from the video off, thats what I did.

Also, not that I am predjudice against folks not on inforoo, but there have been some people spamming a bit that accessed the inforoo chat from the meebo site.....I was wondering if it was possible to make it only accessable from this forum?....

If it has an embedded chat client that is always up, I still can't use it at work. It bums me out because it is pretty much the only forum I read while at work
Ever since it was added, my pages haven't been updating right. It tells me there is still new stuff in forums where I have read everything, and it doesn't tell me that there is new stuff in forums where there is new stuff. . .don't know if it is related, but I never noticed it before.

My only complaint is that normally when I go to post I grab the scroll bar and just move it all the way down and click on the reply box, (yes i realize I can just hit alt+Q to do this instead) but now when I do that all I see is the Meebo screen and I have to scroll back up some. I know, it's really not a big deal at all. But I have no intentions of ever actually using it, as it seems to be overrun by spanish and people saying "press 420 to chat!" which, I can go without seeing any of that in my life.
edit: After my vent on Meebo just now, I came to the realization... if people want to chat, why don't they just post on the boards?? This place is dead as hell this time of year for the most part, I'd be happy to see more posting instead of more Meebo-ing
edit 2:
Prime example of what I don't need to read when on Inforoo:
"johnny_o0o_so_sexii: any hot gurls in here wanna c mah 6 pack press 69"
I say, block anyone not logged into Inforoo (if that's possible) or get rid of it.

No one has answered the question of why does it not show the conversations when you refresh or go to a new page?
I want to be able to read what everyone is saying, but every time I refresh the page or go to another page, all of the text is deleted and it starts over. This sucks.
Also, why does it change my name every time a new page is up. It always adds a number to my name and that is really annoying. ???

^^It doesn't do that for me, brook... maybe it just hates you (cause you like VH and the Dixie Chicks ;D)
Probably so. It's also probably because I'm at work and nothing works on the internet here.\
edit: FU strum.
It does do that to me Brook, and the internet in my office works fine, and they don't block us from anything... if anyone can answer that question, please do

I'm thinking it is because it re-logs you into the chat every time you open a new page... if you want to be able to keep the conversations you will have to leave a page open and unrefreshed and open new tabs/pages in order to scan through the forums..... Maybe a mod (LIGuy) should just put the chat up on a single page instead of embedding to the entire forum it's self...... I dunno, i'm just speculating.....
