Actually, now I can't log into chat!

Also works for me, but i did get this pop-up. (attached)

yea I saw that too . . . anyone know how long that error has been there?

It seems to work despite that bug . . .

I've been waiting for the final SMF forum 2.0 version to be released, and then I'll redo the entire forum from scratch, and fix the chat while I'm at it. It's taking them much longer than I thought . . . I'm guessing at least another 3-4 months . . .

It seems to only be generating that error on Chrome. I hardly use chrome, so no idea how long it's been like that.

But no error with firefox, just checked.

I tried to login to chat a minute ago both on Internet explorer and Chrome and they both didnt let me log in. normally I use Internet Explorer and have never had any issues with chat until now.

Maybe i should try FireFox?

Joker94 · « **Reply #33 on:** December 08, 2010, 04:32:20 PM »

Just tried firefox and am having the same problem.

I am getting the error message "You can't access the chat" after i try to log in.

Just as a check, and you've probably already accounted for this, but did you log into the forum with that particular browser first before logging into chat?

Joker94 · « **Reply #35 on:** December 08, 2010, 05:32:39 PM »

Yeah, i was logged into the forum on the 3 browsers before trying chat.

voyager2 · « **Reply #36 on:** December 08, 2010, 07:58:11 PM »

I'm getting the same as Joker94, exactly
Exept i'm using Firefox (latest version) only, do have an ancient version of IE, so i can test on that too...

EDIT: A thought just occurred to me, maybe Australian IP's have been blocked from chat?

Admin · « **Reply #37 on:** December 08, 2010, 08:33:10 PM »

And just to be sure, when you click this link, you get the error as a pop-up or?

To be honest I'm not even sure where to start with fixing this bug, especially since it works on my end lol . . . I might just let chat suffer until the forum upgrade, then I'll do a fresh install with the latest versions of everything.

voyager2 · « **Reply #38 on:** December 08, 2010, 08:53:43 PM »

Here's a screen shot for you (attached) using the link from your previous post.
I get the "You can't log into chat" even if I press "log in"
My password has been removed for security

The same happens with my bookmark, and the forum link in the news bar.

In the mean time for anyone who can't log into chat, I set up http://gabbly.com/http://www.societyofrobots.com/

Same exact problem here on Firefox 3.6.12 running on Ubuntu, and Win 2k Pro .
Also with Chrome running on Windows XP sp 3.
Also with IE v 8..6001.18702 on XP sp 3.
Also with IE v 6.0.2800.1106 on Win 2k pro.

Admin do you want us to view source, then email it to you so you can compare them (even if there are no differences, its still checked)

I'll also be in Gabby chat if anyone's interested (see 3 posts up)

Admin · « **Reply #42 on:** December 09, 2010, 08:05:10 PM »

I've temporarily disabled the Honey Pot . . . does chat still give you the error, anyone?

voyager2 · « **Reply #43 on:** December 09, 2010, 08:11:58 PM »

No its not the honey pot, still comes up "You can't log into chat"

EDIT: I also tried Netscape Navigator 9.06

Joker94 · « **Reply #44 on:** December 09, 2010, 08:39:33 PM »

Still having the same issue

Admin · « **Reply #45 on:** December 09, 2010, 08:49:18 PM »

I looked into it further, and it appears it's a permissions issue. I suspect the latest forum update somehow modified the settings. I'd need to do a complete clean install of the chat system to get it to work, but it's unfortunately a lot of work . . . I'll add it to my list of things to do . . .

Time to bring up the idea of an official IRC channel again again again?

Not IRC but Gabbly

Inefficient and too many ads. Plus there's the whole http://stuff.com/http://otherstuff.com/ thing.

Admin · « **Reply #49 on:** December 18, 2010, 01:13:13 PM »

I just upgraded Member Pages to the latest Drupal version (just security fixes). As always, if you see odd problems, let me know.

I found a bug, there's a flurry of cold white stuff poring out of my monitor and all over my work bench. I can't have that!

Easy solution : move work bench away from snowing monitor

Hard solution : Turn off javascript

I found a bug. Every time I sign in to this forum I see this scroll bar down the screen appears and starts flickering. I don't even know where this scroll bar came from. This only happens in this forum. It doesn't happen in any other sites.

yea, i'm getting that as well.
i think it's caused by the festive snow effect overlayed on the page.

Turn off java and see if it's still happening.

dunk · « **Reply #55 on:** December 20, 2010, 06:24:46 PM »

it is definitely something JavaScript related.
that's why i thought is was the snow effect. i presume snowflakes are getting drawn outside the displayed screen area.
(and yes, turning JavaScript off the snow and the weird scrollbar go away.)

z.s.tar.gz · « **Reply #56 on:** December 21, 2010, 12:31:04 AM »

I found a bug: Where there used to be chat there is now distracting snowflakes.

What if there were other programs that are running using java script? Wouldn't turning off java script make other programs that run by it turn off?

Admin · « **Reply #58 on:** February 11, 2011, 11:24:36 PM »

Forum was just upgraded (a security fix patch). Let me know if you see any new bugs that haven't already been reported here.

voyager2 · « **Reply #59 on:** March 03, 2011, 10:08:24 PM »

Well I got desperate in my search to unlock the chat and...
I signed up for another account!Tesla_of_Oz

It worked... momentarily

Then it logged me out of chat and now I can't get in, again $:-\$
