Thread: Chat Problems

Once in a blue moon the chat works for me.
Probably 95% of the time it doesn't...

Here is the error log from the Java console:

Code:

Anyone have any ideas? Is it a problem on my end, or SRP's end?

Looks like a problem at your end to me. For serious use, I would strongly recommend a dedicated client program. Setup instructions can be found here: Using the SRP Chat - Straight Razor Place Wiki. Pidgin has the advantage of being available as a Portable App for Windows based computers: PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB drives.

Dang! The wiki covers everything!
It didn't even occur to me to look there for help with the chat.

I don't have time tonight to test everything, but I will try installing Pidgin tomorrow.

Thanks!

Just tried the IRC connection of Pidgin, running in Linux Mint. Cool! Thank BeBerlin.

I got it workin'! Thanks BeBerlin!

Now you have no excuse for not coming to chat!!

Haha. I would have figured you'd be tired of listening to me cry about my rookie mistakes by now!
