Sunday again
« on: April 30, 2006, 06:45:57 PM »
It is time for the chat, like each sunday.

You can open the chat from the main site, following this link: http://www.igkt.net/chat/index.html or to go to the chat you can also click on the knotchat link in today's calendar events, on the general page of this forum.

Besides all these options you can also go to an other chat (like on knot tyers chatpage) and move on within the chatrooms.

If you have problems to get in the chat, for whatever reason, post a message here. While the chat runs we do keep an eye out to this place and might be able to help you immediatly.
If that is not posible this is still the right place to get those problems sorted.

The chat will be open from now, for at least the next 5 hours.

The knot chat does not appear to be working properly,
It's just spat me out and nothing seemed to work in the room?
anyone else got problems

also won't open now?

I have been online for over four hours today, and there was a total of 3 people online, me included.
While I do not mind spending some time online doing other things, I do not consider this a good use of my sunday evening.

So I will sugest new hours for the chat.
We have been open from English time 5 pm till about 11 pm, this is most of the sunday morning in Alaska, Sunday afternoon on the American east coast and the evening hours for most of Europe.
I would sugest a shorter time but I would like to hear your opinion before changing the times.

So let me know what time you are likely to log on, so I can find a time that peopla are really there.

no luck for me.  i use firefox (high security settings) on a mac powerbook.  also tried safari (low security settings).  also tried iChat on the powerbook.  also tried gaim on my linux box.

with gaim i managed to get logged into the server, but there was no IGKT_Knot_Chat channel despite the web page showing that 8 members were logged on.  later logged off due to "lack of response", when i tried logging in again, i was disconnected and "throttled" (sounds unpleasant, eh?  8)  no more encouraging progress after that.

i can count on one hand the times i've used IRC, so it could be something basic that i'm missing.

High security settings? In Firefox? I'm using Win Firefox 1.5.0.5 and I can't find any reference to a 'high security setting'.

I don't use Safari myself but a colleague of mine uses a Mac to access a chat room on the same server without any problems. Not sure if he uses Safari or IE normally.

These are both instant messaging applications similar to MS Messenger or AIM. They won't work on this type of one-to-many chat.

If you have access to a linux box, you should be able to choose from a number of IRC clients.

http://www.linux.org/apps/all/Networking/IRC-1.html?sort=author

lists quite a few.

Also, if you're running a network, make sure that your router/firewall isn't blocking traffic from everywherechat.com. If you choose to access via http, make sure you have both Java and javascript enabled.

wrt high security firefox, there is no single high security setting.  but have it set to scripts are turned off by default and individually enabled on a case by case basis.  ads are blocked, etc, etc.

gaim claims to do IRC...  will look into getting another irc client eventually.

Glad to hear it wasn't just me missing something then.  :)

I've blocked ads too - so that's unlikely to be the problem. Could be a script issue. Are you getting any sort of alert?

I do know that the certificate on everywherechat.com is faulty. I think that date is either incorrect or it's expired (can't recall which). Could FF be rejecting it for that reason? I do recall having to specifically accept the faulty certificate when I was testing the chat a while back.

Did you try connecting with gaim? What settings were you using? What error did you get? I could possibly look into running gaim under Cygwin to see if I can get in (assuming gaim has been packaged for Cygwin).

A good chat we had too - with members from UK, USA, The Netherlands, Lithuania, Pakistan and Norway = a true International flavour.
