Marvin the bot has been gone for a while. When he is gone, the first person into the room becomes the @dmin.
With 2 races on, (portland and usgp) i assume a good chunk of people are out havin fun at the tracks.

Thanks DM, I thought I had made up my own room
The link never works for me. it asks me to enter nick name and a blank box opens but never load to the chatroom. I can use the chatroom at CW's site and I think they use Mirc
I think CW uses Vbulletin's chat client. Looks like a problem launching from some IE. Thought I checked that. I'll sort it out.
Chat link should be fixed for IE users now. Please try it. You will get a grey box for a moment while it loads the applet, but the javascript problems are fixed and it should work if you have a reasonably up to date Java version.

As an FYI, due to a court settlement, if your computer was purchased with Windows XP SP1 on it, it will not have a Java client built-in. You must download one (free) here: Sun's Java download (http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp) .
Click on the Download button next to Windows (installation).

Downloaded the Java program. Chat asks for nick name. After entering nickname a box opens and starts to load but I get this message
13:54***Connecting to Server irc.different.net:6667
13:54***Ident: Invalid Host Name
13:54!!! Can't connect - access denied (java.net.socket permision irc.different.net resolver)!
The template for chat is there but it locks up. :(
Thanks for the reminder, WB. I'll put a download link on the chat entry page.

Locks up completely? As in, nothing is functional or it just never connects? The error message sounds like a firewall problem, but if the java applet is working over on CW... hmm.
Anyone else seeing this problem?

I get all the way to here, and it won't connect:
17:08 *** Connecting to server irc.different.net:6667

17:08 =StLouis.MO.US.Different.NET= *** Checking ident...
17:09 *** Ident timeout!
17:09 !!! Closed connection!

i get the same through the chat link, but is ok through chatzilla, maybe the timeout parameter needs to be extended?
Yes, there's a parameter. You might be able to set it manually under the "Setting" menu under "File" in the applet. For some reason when I try to set it at launch it goes to zero, which isn't good for anyone. :/ Still tinkering...
Anyone who was getting timeouts, please try it now. The timeout is up to two minutes now instead of 30 seconds.
Are we back on different.net? :confused:

We didn't leave different.net. different.net left us. :)
Well, this is hilarious. Somehow mr anait configgered my 'puter so IE closes if I try to open a chat window. Both the new OC chat and DM's temporary one. :saywhat: Perhaps he's trying to tell me something... :p
2 more weeks till my new lappy comes in the mail, damn all y'all and yer online chatting !
Cool. Chat issues fixed. :cool:

Reading the rest of the thread, this was supposed to be fixed but it is exactly what I got. And, after 30 seconds.
Isn't there a way to get there through IRC? Java is so unreliable.
Thanks, TravelGal
(Um could you PM an answer?) I may never find this thread again. LOL!

Yep.
Server = irc.different.net port 6667
Channel = #offcamber
:)
I've set the option to timeout in 2 minutes. Of course I can't swear that the client actually honors that. Make sure you refresh the chat entry page (the one where you put your nick in) so you have the fixed settings.
