BlueWitch: You may have been on the wrong server. What you describe happened to me once when I wasn't paying attention to what server I had hooked up to when reinstalling mIRC. Double check all of your settings and that you are on the right server.

Would any of that server stuff even be relevant, since I log into chats with the link on the CF main page? I've heard recent updates from MS have made a real mess of things, even for us using firefox.

I've pretty much always logged into chats this way, since my attempts at using mIRC never worked. That was an irritating couple of Thursday nights of not being able to check out chats. (Back when I was a greychat newbie, or technically before, since it wasn't until I used the firefox method that I was able to get into the chat)

I guess I should have mentioned my logging in method in the initial post. Well, everybody rolls a 1 eventually. It was just my turn.

Well, once again, I try to log into the chat, and once again, I get a blank screen and it tells me there are 0 users in chat.

I don't know what I did to piss off Ralishaz so much. Cry

I see the link to GreyTalk has been removed from the site. So, I can't get in, and I'm probably not the only one now.

Sorry, this is a temporary situation while we make changes to the 'face' of Canonfire!

Mibbet is a free link:

https://cbe002.chat.mibbit.com/

This is the Mibbet home page. Connect using Otherworlders, replacing the Mibbet you'll see in that slot.
Enter your nick and the Channel #Greytalk and you go right to it!
Again, our apologies.

Anybody else having troubles logging into chat tonight? I got in once, for about a second. But my other 8 or 9 attempts all failed.

No, but I had trouble getting to Canonfire. Got a message about something being down, and then I reloaded and it was fine.

Same here. The PHP server was issuing some MySQL error messages earlier, but it seems to have cleared up. If anybody is having trouble joining GREYchat using mIRC, try the link here instead: http://www.otherworlders.org/chat/cf/

BlueWitch,

I use Firefox and log in through mibbit not mIrc so I don't know what java setting your using that could be whats causing it? I always thought Guest could not post strange.

Yeah 3 seconds I was wondering what happened to you last night?

I hope you can get it fixed. Also note you can try logging on on any day to see if you figured out the problem.

Later

Argon

I also use firefox, and I have for quite a few years now, and that's how I always log into chat: Firefox and the link on the CF main page.

I think you're on to something about java settings. The other week I tried a DVD in this machine and had some troubles with it and the disc player. I remember trying to change some settings in something to get it to work. So it's very possible I changed something in java and can't find it now.

I just tried getting into the chat room just before posting this. Just like last Thursday, and the Thursday before that, I get in, and get the boot a few seconds later.

BlueWitch · Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2012 8:37 pm Post subject:

OK, since the most likely theory for why I can't get into chat anymore, is something in java, I'll ask does anybody know how I can adjust those settings? My computer runs vista, I should warn you Wink

(Actually, I mention that because I know a lot of things are different by operating system)
This is the 3rd, maybe 4th, week that I haven't been able to get to the Thursday chat. I'm having withdrawal.

Are you still using the link from CF? Follow this link http://cbe003.chat.mibbit.com/ in the nick field but your name and channel #greytalk in the connect field scroll all the way down to otherworlders

BlueWitch · Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2012 9:01 pm Post subject:

Well, now I tried the link Argon provided, that worked last week. Now it won't even admit a chatroom exists. So I tried the link in this site, and got in for 4 seconds like usual now.

I have no idea what the deal is.

Sorry to hear that, BW. I'll see if I can find a guru to help.

Well this is a new one.
Is Thursday chat canceled this week? I just checked the chatroom and I was the only one in there.

It's 10:24pm central now, I am in two chat rooms: one called #greytalk and the other #greychat. I am the only one in both these rooms

Don't know if it case sensitive, but try #GreyTalk.

Is Greytalk still going on? I wouldn't mind to attend a chat one of these days. :)

Should have been there! Cool

GREYtalk happens every Thursday evening, EST/PST, so if you do not live in North/South America you will need to figure in the time difference (for France I believe it would be early Friday morning).
