| 495380 | 2006-10-31 02:53:00 | Hi Guys, ChatF1.co.nz and ChatF1.net.nz will be back up and running tomorrow. However the software we are running (a derivative of phpMyChat) is getting pretty outdated, and is generally quite laggy. Therefore I think it’s about time we looked for a new open source web based chat software that is compatible with most browsers, (Safari / Firefox / IE), doesn’t require any special plugins, is secure, and most importantly fast. Once we have found a package that fits the criteria then we can start the moddding & testing phase, and finally transfer all the users from the incumbent system over to the new one. I would like to get input from the PressF1 community on this project, and prefer to keep everything as open as possible, (rather than just 1 or 2 people doing all the work). Dannz has been looking into some software already for me……. Cheers Liam |

| 495382 | 2006-10-31 03:06:00 | I have put a suggestion forward about software. But even if that isnt chosen, im putting forward an offer of development "space" for chatf1. i have plenty of space on a web hosting account, and i can give multiple FTP users access (or we could even be real smart and use svn ;) ) Cheers Daniel |

(It will be setup later this week once the domains start working again) |

| 495384 | 2006-10-31 03:21:00 | Sounds good :) Edit: Just to give a little nudge as in starting looking at software, ill post a link to my idea which is at: beta.dannz.net Seems to be pretty quick etc, and is the software that liam was talking about |

| 495385 | 2006-10-31 11:00:00 | It all seems like good news, but I think the coffee machine will need to go into turbo mode at nzliam's place(s) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 495386 | 2006-10-31 11:25:00 | It all seems like good news, but I think the coffee machine will need to go into turbo mode at nzliam's place(s) Between work, rides and Track Days I'm pretty busy at the moment, hence I would like to see some of the young php whiz kids on F1 get involved ;) I setup the original Chat room when I had a lot more free time and was very actively involved in PF1, a long time ago, (today is the first time I have logged-in, in about a year). |

| 495389 | 2006-10-31 23:38:00 | I *might* consider writing a custom AJAX based solution sometime this summer; learning to use AJAX is on my list of things to do - so why not make it now :D What do people think - better to go with something tried and true, or something new and customised? Note also that I can't guarantee I'll be able to do it, but I can certainly try. |
