Kevin's Watch

Hi.

When I log into the watch, this Prillian thing pops up. I guess it's an IM tool of some sort. That's fine.

Trouble is, if you close the window, it logs you out. (IE 6.0)

This is probably related to the general problem I have seen with IE: when something launches a new window, and you close that window, all your temp cookies go away in the original window. I guess the KW login is a cookie? So when it's deleted, you are "logged out".

Could we (okay, not me ...) add a button to open Prillian if/when I want to use it?

Well, if I click on the 'X' image inside the window, it logged me out. When I just closed the window with the usual X button (Firefox 1.0.4) it didn't. And anyway - I went in the options and told it not to pop up any more.

Yes, the pop-up should be turned off, and a link/button to open it added (considering that now I've turned off the popup I've found it is impossible to open it again).

What's this Prillian thing? I've never heard of it!

Haven't you been getting a popup when you visit the forum index? It's a new IM type thing for phpBB that Vain's just installed. He posted about it in the Elohimfest Anniversary thread in A&S.

it's probably being blocked by my popup blocker...

Nathan,

It was blocked by my pop-up blocker too. I told it to allow popups on Kevins Watch.

Like Murrin said, on Firefox it doesn't log me out when I shut the window.

I never got it when I accessed Kevins Watch at work today. The adminstrator of the server at work is the only one who can control what pop-ups we see.

However, it's coming up on my home computer. I tried to send a test IM to Edge, who happened to be on, but I never received a reply. So, I don't know if it's working or not.

Hmmmm... I didn't get that; but maybe my pop-up blocker killed it.

It pops up whenever someone new logs in, which means that I can't visit KW at work anymore. It might pop up during a call and then I'd be in the shizzle.

Edge, I see you're still signed on, and I'm still signed on. Shall I try IM'ing again?

Wow, I haven't been paying close attention, so Prillian sort of surprised me.

I think I kind of like it, but wonder why there is no link to it or to controls for it (at least, I couldn't find any) on our forum preferences?

It would be kind of nice to be able to choose when to open it or not. Right now, it seems to re-open by itself, after awhile, and if you close it and want to re-open it, I couldn't figure out how, without just waiting for it to re-open itself.

This Prillian thing is new to me too, so you'll have to ask Vain about any questions/problems with it.-jay

Love the new Jaytar, Jay!

Aah bugger. Oh well, at least that gets rid of the questions in Fist's thread in Announcements.

Yes...Well, I was hoping he would see this thread and maybe answer my question.

And, Jay, that Jaytar is a riot.

I did that. It works.

Next question: suppose I want to IM someone. How do I get Prillian to start?

I love the new jaytar as well!

Well, yes, this is the problem. If it doesn't start automatically, like it did for me last night, there doesn't seem to be any way to get it to start - at least I don't see any option to click on at the top of the forum page, or anything in our forum preferences.

That's part of the question I have been asking.

If you check the option, when it is open, so that it won't pop up anymore, how do you get it to open again when you want it?

The Prillian mod has been turned off by Vain. you can't get it to start, even by clicking on the link Edge gave.
