I am apparently not the only person having problems with chat.  Besides making Mars a lot less entertaining, not being able to see the chat makes it essentially impossible to ever catch a Time Warp.  If people could post open warps in this thread, it would be an enormous service.  

Please give coordinates and time and date opened.  Thanks!!!!!

There is a thread for that purpose already, sometimes people open warps and don't want to share the coordinates with anyone, and sometimes they do, it's totaly up to the person.
As for not being able to get into chat, do you have the latest updates for Java, have you tried IceChat or any other chat programs.

I have tried quite a few remedies, I don't see another thread, and no one making anyone participate in anything.  Thank for your input, though.

You're both right about the thread. There is one, but a very small percentage of the timewarps that get announced in chat get put there. Also, the coords. don't pop up in a thread when 5 hours are left in timewarp like they do in chat.

 Maybe Jason could add that feature to the Time warp thread, where it will announce the Warp like it does in chat.

What I would REALLY love is an email notification, but I would settle for people actually posting warps here!

jacki, there is an entire forum section for the timewarps

http://www.exodus3000.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=23

i dub anyone will come post the warps here, in your thread,
but at least others who failed to find the warps section
might find your topic and will know where to look from now on

hope this helps

Down there at the bottom of this list, I had never seen it.  Evidently few others had either--surely there is more than one warp every two weeks!

indeed, but not all players bother sharing warp coords even in chat
then even less players come post it to forum in warp section
so don't have high hopes many warps will get posted here

and hence u advice u can't use chat, the only thing that could help you
might be the store scroller if the admins allow the chat topic to show there

this might be a good thing, cuz many missed lots of news
while they could not check chat and updates were made available only there

As a middle ground, what if there was an area on the homepage that showed the timewarp coords when there the warp drops into the 5 hour window on chat?

Sometimes the chat and forum may not have the timewarp,
even if one is open,
so why not make the homepage show any open warp that is in its last 2 hours or less, 5 hours is a bit too much.

And I'd still like to see the chat topic instead somewhere,
when we can't join the chat to see it. At times there is more info of interest then just warps there.

I had no idea of such feature,
then again i have not been into chat for ages.
The chat updates itself, or Marvin says coords at timewarp command?

At the bottom of the nav column on the hope page (under where it specifies the current game time) it will now show the same information as is available from Marvin in chat about Timewarps.
