Members fernmeister Posted December 5, 2005 Members Share Posted December 5, 2005 The last couple of times I've tried to log into the HC chat server it has not worked. Does anyone know if it is dead? Which leads to my other question. Is it time to create something else in it's place? Opinions? Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dot-dot-dot Posted December 5, 2005 Members Share Posted December 5, 2005 I could investigate a chat thingy on one of my web osts. Or someone else could investigate and then tell me which to install (ie the one that's least effort for me ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bieke Posted December 5, 2005 Members Share Posted December 5, 2005 I've always found it troublesome to log on, sometimes it does, sometimes it won't, I logged on yesterday, but there was no one there. We just need to raise awareness and find an application that is fully functional, Devi Ever used to have a nice Harmony Central page with a very active chatroom, but for some technical reason, Devi closed it down. Too bad, it was really nice, as far as I remember, you could have the FX forum, a chatroom, FX news, all in one, anybody remember that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members capnbringdown Posted December 5, 2005 Members Share Posted December 5, 2005 I was on last weekend, and it seemed a little strange The topic and everything didn't appear for awhile when I was in there. I usually log on thru irc though and not the java applet. I didn't have any trouble logging on to the irc server. However, I can't do it at school because there's a block on irc from the school's firewall. Maybe its time for an xhcfx chat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fernmeister Posted December 5, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 5, 2005 ok it *seems* to be working now... ... i do like that the chat can be run on client software. the java applet though is a pain and as I recall the window on the chat devi hosted for us was tiny (and we couldn't get features like subject headings and bots) in there. but a better chat environment would work. i do get the impression a lot of people have tried this chat and not been able to get it to work for them.

Members Flaat Posted December 5, 2005 Members Share Posted December 5, 2005 What is the link to the chat anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 fixed :http://www.effector13.com/fxchat/ Let me know if you want any other links and such on the main page and/or the chat window. I want to keep this an open and _useful_ resource / chat room, and not be too centered on one effects company, message board, etc. etc. Also, let me know if anything is buggy. devi- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GorillaLover Posted December 5, 2005 Members Share Posted December 5, 2005 umm.. stupid question.. but where do I access the chat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flaat Posted December 5, 2005 Members Share Posted December 5, 2005 The chat appears on the right, it just takes a couple of minutes to load. No matter what I do, I can't get forum posting to work with Safari. It doesn't accept the cookies, so my username and password is not remembered. For now I'll be using Firefox. If anyone has any luck with Safari, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I swear it works... just give it a minute, and if it doesn't appear after a few minutes, hit refresh. If that doesn't work, just come back later. devi- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GorillaLover Posted December 5, 2005 Members Share Posted December 5, 2005 why not have a more static link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GorillaLover Posted December 5, 2005 Members Share Posted December 5, 2005 still nada.. and I have several HC windows open... is there an actual URL? or is it some java popup thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flaat Posted December 5, 2005 Members Share Posted December 5, 2005 try this:http://www.effector13.com/fxchat/chat.html or this:http://six.flash-gear.com/ncht/cht.php?f=2&id=267127&a=1514241784 That second link should work. It takes about two minutes for me to load, and I'm on a 2.3mbit broadband connection. Also, Devi, could you put the links to the various forums in chat.html, so that you can alternate between the different forums without having to reload the chatwindow aswell?
