There are occasions where I cannot use an IRC client on a computer, school for instance. I was just wondering when the dam chat client was going to be fixed for the site. It has never once worked for me, and I have tried it from at least 5 different computers, not to mention others I know who have never been able to use it.

i'm using IRC every week or two and it works for me,but to be more funny my connection is 14,4kbps.and it works fine.Dunno what's wrong with your conection on IRC.
report error to the webmaster,at least is a start somewhere

I'm having the same problems as Blacklotis! I can't connect to IRC through the site

probably your permissions aren't set correct

So how would I go about changeing my permissions to be set correctly?

open:

JRE-directory -> lib -> security -> java.policy

the permission are pretty much on top of the file and they look kinda like this:

// allows anyone to listen on un-privileged ports
permission java.net.SocketPermission ...;
permission java.net.SocketPermission ...;

if you add those lines:
permission java.net.SocketPermission "*:80-", "connect";
permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:1024-", "listen";

it should work.
you might have to delete the lines that have been there before. so backup the file first and try it.

hi,

yeah i can't get connected with the site irc, and i am using kopete(irc), but i can't seem to get that to pick up #tbs or irc.topgamers.net, any help would be greatly appreciated, using xandros(linux), oh, i have also tried chatzilla(firefox), but that loads thousands of channels and takes tooooo long, so hopefully
someone will respond wdith some workable alts

thanks

Hi kryptor,

I never used kopete or chatzilla, but I suggest trying a pure IRC client. For Linux, irssi and BitchX are the most popular clients. They're both text-based clients though. If you prefer a GUI IRC client, you might wanna check out XChat. If you want to see more options, take a look at http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Internet/Clients/Chat/IRC/

thanks unstable,

i'll do a search

Recently I have been on IRC through GAIM, its rather nice, and I have yet to have an issue with it
