Forum Java chat

[Haibane]

Seems to have gone offline again. Its probably sorcery.net doing something silly. Anyone got any ideas?

[Vekseid]

Only thing I can think of is if you have an older java version? Can you tell what version of JRE you have?

[Haibane]

Runtime Environment Standard Edition 1.3.1_11

Default Virtual Machine Version 1.3.1_11-b02

Java Plug-In 1.3.1_11

Chat is working now - it just started working of its own accord. I changed tabs went back and it was running *shrugs* The only two times it has failed on me has been today after the server move. Rest of the time I find it robust enough for my purposes.

...gods, woman.

Get it.

And clean out your old java versions. All of them. Or else bad things can happen -_-

[Haibane]

Yes sir!

[Moondazed]

Good heavens, don't encourage him! :)

We've already had to put off the weekly cleansing of the ego in deference to the hard work of the server move ... actually inflating the ego could be dangerous. ;)

[Haibane]

OK, which room do I go to for my punishment?


(Although in defence of Mister V. it would seem I had the equivalent of a Model T Ford on my 'puter instaed of a Bugatti Veyron. Hence my sheepishness.)

Also, if you spend a lot of time on the chat, it may be worthwhile to download mIRC, an IRC client which lets you experience the joys of IRC without the hassles of Java.

If I did I would, but I don't ;)

[Vekseid]

Just please be sure to uninstall the old versions of java on your machine. There are some really serious security issues with them.

[Haibane]

Yup, did that before putting the latest one on.
