Problems with Chat Today?
 

Has anyone else had problems accessing the chat room today? I keep getting a message that says:

DigiChat could not connect to the specified host. Please verify that the DigiChat Server is running and that you are using the correct host name.

java.net.socketException: Socket closed

no - i had no trouble - just left there and there's a bunch of folks there - try closing out of everything and come back in?

I was there as well, both yesterday and this morning and all seems to be well for me. Can you tell me if you were receiving any particular errors? Also, what operating system are you using? Lastly, what is your browser type and version?

Michael,

Not sure what the problem is. I can log on fine through my employers server, but not via earthlink or AOL.

Not sure quite how to sort it out... but my employer frowns on me using his server for this purpose.

I have been having problems too. It may be my computer. When I log on to chat I get a message "Java memory error". I don't get that in any other java chat apps.

Michael, I had a similar problem earlier this week and emailed FT about it. I'm an Earthlink DSL account and running Windows 98 SP2 & IE5.01

I was finally able to login Friday again, however tonight I received the following error message:
"An unknown error occurred while connecting to the Digichat server. Please report the error to [email protected].
java.lang.exception HttpServlet address not specified."

I would really appreciate it, if you could devote a little time and look into what is happening. With the big DL chat coming up on the 18th, I would not want to get shut out.

Thanks again for your help.

Thank you all for the feedback.

Just so you all know, I'm pretty much concentrating on the LiveChat exclusively for a couple of days or so and hopefully all will go well.

Can I get you guys to do me a favor? Can I get you to log onto the chat tomorrow morning at say 10:00am Mountain Standard Time? I'll be on at that time putting everything through it's paces. If you could, it would be very helpful. If you want to spread the word that would also be helpful.

Michael - this is like taking your kid to the doctor - they get well when you're in the office! In spite of our enjoyable chat today when of course everything worked beautifully, I logged in tonight fine, chatting away with my friends Jon Toner and Jailer, and suddenly I can't see my posts.. suddenly I get the java popup w/ an error message saying there was a java error - socket read failed or some such.

Wait - it gets worse - this time when I tried to close out the chat window, it hung and when I chose ctrl-alt-del to find that, in fact, it was not responding, I selected end task and got BLUE SCREEN! I had to completely reboot my system.

This is getting worse not better - get help soon!

I haven't been able to get into the chat since last week, whats up?

No error messages,I just get the screen:

"FlyerTalk Live! doors are NOW OPEN

FlyerTalk Live! will enhance your community experience with open chat rooms, private chat rooms, and fully moderated open auditoriums for special public events.

Still can't seem to get Chat working, getting an error message that the HttpServlet address is not found. I've even cleared out my Temporary Internet files on IE 4.72. Please help! Thanks...

I cant acess either. Interesting that danville, anna , and I all have earthlink...

Had a problem on 2/1 again. Michael, please look into this ongoing problem. I am a Earthlink DSL user which really should not have an effect on this issue. I was able to join the 1/18 DL chat without any problem.

Thanks.
