"Ghosts"

[HyperDrive 0]

As most of you know, the Holodeck "ghosts" still lerk around the chat room. So, as a service to our STSF Simmers, I decided to let you all know! ;)

 

Also, at times everyone in the room does not show up on your "Online" side (right side) of the screen. I have had that problem a few times in the past few days.

 

Anyone else having weird problems? Just wondering.

 

And remember, just because they are on the "Ghost" list does not mean that they aren't ever online. Actually, the only way to completely tell if someone is online or a ghost is to PM them; you get an error when you hit the "Send" button.

 

Also, if it is alright with the GMs (I thought I'd ask about something for once :)), then: Can we make a list of the "ghosts" commonly lurking around the Holodeck?

 

Just my 1.5 cents. My other .5 cents will show up some other time.

The only other chat room bugs I've experienced lately are:

(1) the annoying flashing screen problem that was addressed in another thread

and, don't know if this is a symptom of the others, or something else entirely:

(2) the number of chatters shown at the top of the window is not always equal to the number of chatters in the player list.  Usually, the number at the top of the window is larger.

 

Also, note that different players online at the same time see different sets of ghosts.

Oh, and to start off the list:  if you see ens_loami on the chat boards, you have met the ghost of Lo'Ami's past.

I've seen:

ens_loami

suberance

stsf_atragon

 

I've also had the problem where the # of players listed is not equal to the # of people actually in the room.

In addition to the missing names, if a person's name doesn't appear in my online box that person can't see what I'm typing, and vise~verse.  A couple nights ago the GM (Atragon) couldn't read what OPS (myself) was doing.  I had to leave the sim because it was too confusing for people.  Not to mention it makes PMs impossible.

Hey there folks,

 

The above issues have already been mentioned to the folks at Paramount. Hopefully they'll work with PeopleLink to get the problems solved in the near future.   ;)

Last night at 4 - 6am I saw all those ghosts when I went in to test a macro program. Even Atragon. I used netscape and IE to see if something was wrong with my browser and both browsers showed different lists.   ~ STSF Lightning ~ Star Trek™ Simulation Forum Game Master (GM) Saturday STSF Lounge Bartender In the StarTrek.com Holodeck Chatroom 10:00 PM - 11:00 PM (Eastern) 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM (Pacific)

Hey, who's this Hawke character? ::smirk::

 

I hope he's giving my name a good reputation.

:cool:

You can log in twice in a row and get different sets of ghosts or different permutations of them.  I tried it this afternoon, and that's how I generated the list above.

time to call the ghostbusters, atragon, go yell at paramount again!

Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to eliminate the ghosts.  Some of them owe me money.
