FAQs

1. How do I enable chat?

To enable chat in your browser, you need to make sure that your pop up blocker is disabled or configured to allow pop ups from iracer.com. In Internet Explorer 7 these settings can be found in the tools menu under the pop up blocker option. You then have the option to turn off the blocker or configure the settings. If you choose to configure the settings, you need to add *.iracer.com to your allowed sites. If you use a toolbar such as Google Toolbar this may also try to block our chat window from appearing. Simply select to allow pop ups from iRacer.com and this will cure the problem.

2. How do I upload images?

To upload images, you must ensure you have a Java enabled web browser and make sure that Java is enabled. This allows you to upload you pictures faster than a standard form as well as being able to upload as many as you want at a time, whilst showing you the current progress.
