FlyerTalk Live! - Need some help testing the new area.
 

To all FlyerTalkers. We are in the process of testing our new "FlyerTalk Live!" chat area and we need some volunteers. If you are interested please go here, enter your name of choice, hit "connect", wait for the chat client to launch and start talking.

For FlyerTalkers with concerns about how this may affect the Bulletin Board we have in place, please don't worry as the chat client is currently residing on an independant server and will not impact the BB server.

Thank you very much for your help and we will appreciate any and all feedback.

Unfortunately, I got an error message saying that if I was behind a firewall or proxy server (aren't plenty of us?), I would probably not be able to use this.

That's good feedback TravelWeary. I hope I didn't inconvenience you overly much. I wasn't aware of how this would effect people behind firewalls. Let me look into it and see if there is a way around it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Here is my feedback from behind a LAN...

DigiChat could not locate the specified host.Please make sure you are using the correct host name.
java.net.UnknownHostException: host3.digichat.com

It works fine, no problem to report... yet... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I am behind a company firewall. Could not read the server, server timed out.

worked fine from home!

Seems easy enough to navigate in and out of! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif Not much going on here- yet! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

No probs at all loging in to the new chat rooms!

Wish someone else was there! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cool.gif

the Boards loaded fine... but there was no one there.

It would odd to talk to myself!

Michael: you're getting e-mail

Things work fine on this end. I can already see my productivity coming to a crashing halt http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

It seems to be working OK, just what I need, something else to keep me from doing my work!

OMNI: and no big deal except for me... could we change the background color for the United LOGO from that depressing black to something more fun like Dark Blue or Gray?

It's no big deal, just me being finicky.

Now something else to keep me from the cats. Yaz already has his paw on the circuit break... (TILT!)

I received:

"No response was received from the server. The DigiChat Server may not be running, or may not be a compatible version. Please contact the administrator in charge of the site.

jave.io.InterruptedIOExecption: Read Time Out"

Also: Any chance of making it so, when it does work, that it uses only the nickname we use on FT?

Just to be obtuse... it doesn't work in the lynx browser.

No chat for me, unless I sneak on from work... ;_;
