Nascar2: Chat problem

Sorry if this is a redundant post. I cannot seem to get the chat feature of Nascar2 to work. Nothing I type shows in the chat screen regardless of whether I click on the little cursor or not. The little cursor turns yellow then white and nothing. No echoing of keystrokes, nothing at all. Would this have anything to do with a bad connect( I had nothing but bad conns on Kahn)? Anybody please? On a similar note, I was never able to get a better latency than .28 on Kahn and it was unplayable. In fact my conn was so bad that when I'd show up at the race the others would comment "oh shit he's back". I'd be sittin on the track.no one to be seen, watching the F-2 screen tell me that I;m 5 laps down when I'm just gettin the green. I am supposing that they could see me and I was track hazard! Sorry guys. It sure aint Hawaii! Regards, Greg Gavel on Hawaii & TEN and perhaps Kahn

Greg, A friend of mine and I couldn't get the chat to work either during modem-to-modem play... well, my friend could (the caller).... but I (the answerer) had the same problem that you describe... I'd click, press enter, try "alt", etc. but I could never enter any text... My friend on the calling machine said he clicked on the angle bracket, and then got a flashing "edit bar"... I could use the "auto-chat macros" during a race though... Anyone have any ideas regarding the chat screen for the answerer??? Or is this just "yet-another-bug" in multiplayer ?? Thanks, Ed S N I P

ahem! I..uh..er knew that!! You were right Dave. I was approximately one to one a half millimeters from finding a bug. I clicked just a hair further to the right of that backward L thingy and a flashing cursor appeared... I think I'll wander around Kahn anonymously for awhile. With a face full of egg, Gavel on Hawaii & TEN & quietly on Kahn

Have you tried clicking to the right of the little backwards L-bracket (I'm guessing this is what you are referring to as the cursor)? It's a brain-dead user interface, but that's what we've got to work with. Dave (davids) Sparks Late Night League http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html
