West Virginia Ghosts Chat Room

Before you can connect to the chat room, there are a few things that I would like to go over with you. These things basically cover how to connect to the chat room, what to do if you can't connect, and some basic rules that you should know and understand.

How to Connect

When you first load the chat room, you may be greeted with popup messages asking you for approval. Approve everything, this won't harm your computer in any fashion. It will just allow the software to load so you can connect to the chat room.

Connection Problems

If you have trouble connecting to a chat site, several causes are possible. These causes can be firewalls/proxies, poor Internet connections or a problem in your Java environment.

You may have problems viewing the chat room with Internet Explorer. If this is the case, you may have to update to the newest Java Virtual Machine. You can download the latest version from here. FireFox users shouldn't have a problem viewing the chat room.
