It is a terrible chat setup there are plenty of easier chat servers out there that could be used.

The chat room seems to be down the past few days. Although I enjoy reading through all the really great information along with astounding pics presented here at this magnificant site about ice fishing in general, generally I like to chat real-time about the hot spots and all that.
Sure wish the IRC for here was running properly and/or members were flying over there again... ???
What gives, dammit? Just kidding. Take it easy.

I'm just bumping this topic - for anyone who is interested, there's always people in the chat. Sometime you may need to wait a few minutes to get a response, but we're always ready to chat it up.
The chat is usually busiest between 7:00 to 9:00 AM EST, as well as in the evenings. Throughout the day, there are usually several of us around, but we may take a bit to notice someone is in the room.

What's the purpose of being in a chat room if you're not chatting? ???
-
I leave my computer and MIRC on all time, I don't see a point to closing it down everytime i step out for an hour or two. Whats so wrong with idling?

If that's your preference, that's fine. But if you're not contributing to the chat, after a while you will probably be booted out. I don't know if there are any rules set, but I found that to be the case since I started using the chat room in 2003. If I'm gonna be idle for a little bit to get something to eat or take care of something, I'll put "bbiab" or something similar to let other chat participants know. But if it get's to be over a half hour or more without activity, I'd expect myself to get booted then. The purpose of the chat room is to chat, not to sit idle all day. Just my 2 cents worth.

Anybody been out ice fishing in indiana no ice in laporte yet :-\
-
the chat keeps tellin me i dont have the plugin? i have java im confused
-
Make sure you have latest version of Java and when it asks you, you have to allow it and then say no on the next window.
-
I have a new computer and I know Java is in it but can't get the chat to work, help please.
-
Well first off you have to make sure your Java is the most recent version, so update that then try again. When the little box pops up you have to say no.

Java Chat
If you're having trouble with the java chat.
Java needs to installed on your pc. http://www.microsoft.com/java (http://www.microsoft.com/java)
Make sure you have java enabled.

When loading chat page click "yes" for the security warning popup. If you don't answer yes and try to come back in and can't you may need to restart your browser and try entering the chatroom again.

When should I renew my membership Etc?
Wishing everyone a excellent New Year and a safe on to boot.
Cheers,

Here is when your militia membership expires: December 31, 2015, 10:23:00 PM
You can find that by clicking on "Profile" under the sponsor banners at the top of the page, then click on "Paid Subscriptions" on the left side of your profile page.
I don't think it matters when you renew your membership as I think it adds time from the end of your expiration date and not the date you renew. I'll check with "Scott" to make sure that is the case.
Yep, that info is correct.

Not sure how many years I've been on here.....yet to see anyone in the chat room???
-
It used to be super busy. Now it's pretty dead.
-
Yep, Missoula, not much traffic there. Last year they tried pumpin' it up with some giveaways. I have some visions for it but for me it will be after Christmas.
My interest is pike and I'd host some discussion on bait rigs and active jigging. Just my thoughts... I make a bunch of "stuff" so when I get there I'll probably have my own version of a "giveaway". ;)2
Seed planted.

:-\I notice all of my posts are flagged with a red X and marked remove. please tell me what I am doing wrong

Bean When you log in you have your user name displayed below the ICESHANTY logo with the guy fishing in a shanty. also you have below your log-on name you have a choice to Show unread replies to your posts and recent post. after I log-on this has all disappeared. logged off several times and it still has not help. has anybody had this happen to them? just started today!
