Don't use IE.
That's not how we handle issues in Omnimaga. First of all, we try to bring Omnimaga and OmnomIRC to everybody on any platform, and everybody is free to use the browser they want.
Either way, the "chat" is called OmnomIRC, and this topic should be moved to this (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?board=132.0) board.
Finally, your description is not suficient. Saying that "OmnomIRC" doesn't work is not helpful enough, we need to know what exactly doesn't work (e.g. 'sending messages does not work on IE 8'). Help us help you and you'll be helped!

The screen is blank in omnomirc on ie8. it has everything on it but the messages. I tryed pressing toggle... no results.

Are you still using it? If yes, can you post a screenshot?
Can you reproduce it outside the library?
What operating system and which version are you using?
Netham45 will read this topic later and try to fix the issue. Until then, answering these questions might help him fix the issue faster.

Same on IE6. And I have no other choice than IE6 since firefox just started crashing every 5 secounds, so this is really annoying.
-
I can also confirm that OmnomIRC fails to work with Internet Explorer 8 or below, on at least Windows XP.
It's not an issue with his computers, and probably not the operating system. IE 8 and below often don't play very nicely.
I think this issue was actually acknowledged before somewhere.

It's how I handle issues; you don't like it, too bad. Get mod/admin powers, and maybe I'll listen to you.
... First of all, we try to bring Omnimaga and OmnomIRC to everybody on any platform, and everybody is free to use the browser they want ...
Um. Except we don't. I believe Netham has said multiple times, "screw IE".

Can you use Chrome? Or IE9?
-
No, I only have IE6 and FF installed.
-
I know, but I meant "could you install them?" lol
-
Only if they can be downloaded and run from the temporary folder, otherwise, If a full install is needed, my dad would complain.
-
Ooohhh, okay, gotcha. That stinks :/ Could you convince him that it'd be best to get away from IE6?
-
Not right now. He isn't here right now. Is there some kind of 'portable' version of one of those browsers dhat don't need a full install (or of which all traces can be easly removed so he'll never find out)?
-
I believe there are portable versions for Google Chrome, Firefox, and Opera that can be run of off a usb drive -- a quick google search should pull them up.
-
Specifically, here (http://portableapps.com/apps) for Windows and here (http://www.freesmug.org/portableapps) for Macs.
-
Thanks. I also found out where it had hidden itself, so I can easly delete it.
Now, let's go back on topic.

Chrome actually installs pretty sneakily. It's install directory is %User Folder%\AppData\local\Google\Chrome. Which means that if you delete the shortcut in the start menu, he'll never know it's on the computer. If he's more tech savvy, and he knows about C:\Program Files\, then he'll just see the Google folder, and if he knows anything about the internet, he won't put much thought into it. (It will most likely just contain the GoogleUpdater.)
Edit:
The only thing I don't like about portable apps is that a lot of them can't update.
Edit 2:
Nevermind, I forgot about the Add/Remove Programs menu.
-
I'm afraid that I can't support IE6 at all. In fact, I don't support anything less than IE9. IE8 and lower have some rather crippling bugs, and have been known not to work properly with OmnomIRC for some time.
There are mini versions of OmnomIRC available, though. Check out http://www.omnimaga.org/iOmnom_Mini/, and if you're on an incredibly old browser(IE4-, Opera 5-,old versions of netscape, etc...), http://www.omnimaga.org/iOmnom_Mini_dev/ .

Firefox updates wonderfully - I've just updated Firefox 6 to Firefox 7, without any hitch. It also has an "incognito" mode, if you need it.
Now Chrome, on the other hand... :P There's a dedicated Chrome update program (3rd party) if you really want to use Chrome. I don't have any link, but I'm sure it's easy to find. :)

That's what I love about Portable Firefox -- you just tell it to install at the same location as before, and it updates perfectly, keeping everything intact that can remain intact.
-
or if IE fails you, you can just use efnet.org, mibbit, etc. It's less buggy and kinda faster in my opinion.
-
I've always liked running liberkey, when I used portableapps you always needed admin rights to update/install anything on the flash drive :P
What's been going on with omnom in general, tho? Is it just a rocky period of bugs and bugfixes or something?
Edit: I've temporarily switched to chrome until this is fixed...is it known why the input box sometimes disappears? Ninja'd by a new topic :P

I did a mini-update with a slightly updated update engine to try to save a bit of bandwidth. Omni used a bit more than I was accounting for last month.
