Help Load Test Our Chat Room!

**ScottW** · April 25th, 2005, 11:35 PM

I'd like to do some load testing before this weekend with our chat software to see if it will handle a bunch of folks. So, here is what I need you to do...

Go up to the "FlashChat" link above in the Message Board menu bar. Make sure it loads in a new browser window. (the potential to be logged out change tabs exists). Just keep it open, if you don't want to chat, don't... if you do, thats great too.

I'd like to do this all day on TUESDAY if possible... so, whenever you read this on Tuesday, go ahead and login.

Thank you all!

You know, I hadn't had a chance before to test out the chatroom, especially since my main machine is a Linux/ppc machine, which means I'm left out in the cold when it comes to Flash. However, now that I've tested it out on one of my PCs, it's actually a very cool chatroom. I love the themes included, especially the Silver Gradient one. I will most definitely give it a shot tomorrow on my x86 Linux box and see if it works there.

Hopefully soon I will be able to run OS X as well here at home....until then, it's either 9.x or Linux/ppc.

I'll stay on the all day so that hopefully others will join and you can do your test load, BTW congrats on the very cool interface, I'm using Tropical Lagoon and I love it

Cheers

... the chatroom still doesn't work right in safari, it seems. too bad we're mac users.

i've tried to type some text, but it seems not possible using safari... a bug, or am I doing something wrong... I'll try with firefox...

Toggling the status button near the bottom left reveals the text box in Safari, after that it is smooth sailing.

ooh, we got up to 7 or 8 for a minute! On the other hand, i;m in europe, and until the main US waking hours roll round i guess we won't see proper amounts of people.
