OH! Darling:
OK, my posts now look really boring compared to you all. I need a Brian-uplift. I'll have to go back into the vault and find one we haven't seen in a while.
YEAH!!!!!!!

Another thing - Jorie mentioned that she was going to limit the size of the chat room when the chat is taking place - what exactly does this mean? Does it mean she is going to limit the number of people allowed into the chat room??!!
I flippin' hope not! One of us has just GOT to get in and have a question answered. I don't really mind which one of us gets a quesiton answered, it'd be just brilliant if any of us did. Of course, it would be totally excellent if we all did!

They have to let us in
We're his core fans!
Seriously though, it would be a pity if we weren't all there. I'm going to ask Jorie exactly what limiting the chat room size means. Perhaps it only applies if you access the chat room via her website - using the mIRC software may not slow it down as much or something. That's probably the whol idea behind it.

We're probably on his guest list anyway
I've just read your message on Jorie's board - good one. If there's no reply in a couple of days then I'll add something. I'd like to know exactly how to participate. Do you just 'turn up'?

It has to be more structured than that, otherwise every Tom, Dick and Harry would be in there firing questions all over the place. We shall just have to wait and see what Jorie says. And I should hope we are on his guest list!!

Ok, I tried copying and pasting and it didn't work - it wouldn't let me paste it! I am getting so desperate here - I'm going crazy
We better be on his guest list!
How cool would that be?
Also, I think I'll sign into the chat using my real name, because it would be totally cool to be called by that instead of a nickname (plus, he may get offended with the whole Miss McCartney thing
) I think it appears that we can all access the chat in one way or another, just not all at the same time or in the same room....which doesn't really help very much.

Hey, I wouldn't mind if he called me Darling!!!

If you can, try it now and let's see if we're in the same room.

I went on through Jorie's website and there was me, and apparently someone called Buffalo, who didn't say anything when I said Hello. Is that any of you guys??

No, it's not me. I have not been able to access the chat through her site today...only through mIRC directly.
-
That's so weird - I can only access it through Jorie's site, and you can only access it through irc. This is so messed up
-
OK, y'all, now I'm getting worried. I've only been in the chat room one time and had no trouble at all once I figured out where I was supposed to be going. I'm so confused! And what's this about a "guest list"??? Somebody please fill me in! And where are you posting messages to Jorie? I'm beginning to feel like a mushroom!!!! H E L P M E ! ! !

Fun time in the chat room tonight! Dreamseer---I think you've got it. We're ready for Brian but we're going to have to clean up our questions. LOL!! BTW---message to Jorie are posted here in the "Ask Jorie" thread: http://www.xsorbit4.com/users/jorie/index.cgi#general There isn't a response yet to Fiona's query regarding number of guests during the chat. Certainly all 5 of us should all be able to chat with Brian. We are his biggest fans!!! He is so in tune that he'd probably miss whoever wasn't there.

Look on your keyboard. The 'ctrl' key on the right hand side should have another key to its left. The picture on it differs from keyboard to keyboard but mine looks like a piece of paper. Once you've copied something in the conventional way, like #, go to the irc thing. Press the 'mystery key' and an option to paste should appear in a pop up menu.

We've got to get MM in somehow.

Thanks, beatlesrock for giving me that little symbol, and now I finally know how to copy and paste it. But it still didn't let me in - I just keep getting the same message 'unable to connect to server' whenever I try to get in through the irc thing. I can manage through Jorie's site just fine now (well, not really seeing I'm in a room on my own) But maybe I'm in the correct room, and when the webchat happens it will be just me and Brian chatting in our own private room
I like the sound of that!

Here's how to access the chat room. The easiest way is to use the most updated version of Microsoft Internet Explorer (Netscape doesn't work as well) and go to this URL (link). http//www.photos.mccartney.net/chat.htm It takes up to two minutes for the java applet to load so be patient. A box will come up. Type the name you want to use for chat in the box provided that says "enter your name". It can be any name you want. Then click on the "connect" button and you will be taken to the chat room. Once there you will see a box at the bottom of the chat page to type your message. After you type it press 'return' or 'enter' on the keyboard and your message will post. Double click on a name on the right side of the chat box to bring up the Instant message box so you can chat privately with your friends. If you have an IRC program like mIRC or Ircle make sure to 'add' irc.ircstorm. net as the 'server.' That is the how you access this chat room. Otherwise you wind up somewhere else. Use that as the default server for the chat room. Connect to that server and type /join #macca-chat That will get you to the right place. You will see the topic as Talk_About_Paul_McCartney when you enter. Once in chat you can change your name by typing /nick [new name] To instant message your friends type /msg [friend's nick] [your message] Jorie

Thanks a lot, Jorie. I'm sure we'll give it a whirl and we can't wait for the web chat!!!!!!
-
Thanks, Jorie. Hopefully we should all be OK now.

Jorie Gracen has been absolutley brilliant and has set up a Brian Ray Topic on her message board: http://www.xsorbit4.com/users/jorie/index.cgi There's also some info about the webchat on the thread.
