You must have "Macromedia Flash Player" installed:
the Onedate chat service has been developed using "Macromedia Flash", thus it requires you to install this free software to be used. It is already available in "Microsoft Windows" operating systems but might have been removed by mistake. If you see the spiral in the brackets, it means that the "Flash Player" is correctly installed, otherwise download it free of charge. You can check the version of your "Flash Player" from the control panel of your computer by accessing "install applications".
If you are behind a "Firewall", open the port 1935:
if you do not know what a "Firewall" is, you can ask the administrator of your network. If port 1935 is not open, you will notice it from the fact that when you try to access the chat room, you will get the following error message: "Error... Connection not found"
