Issues with "Chat"

For some odd reason i can't seem to get into the chat room. In the past, i never had an issue. But its likely been at 6 mo's to 1 year since i've been here and i wanted to stop in and see who's in chat.

My first attempt asked me to install the new runtime. So i did, but afterwards it only loads and loads and never actually enters chat.

I made a quick attempt at searching the word "Chat" to see if anyone else was having issues, but nothing came up. So i was hoping someone here might have some form of a solution i could attempt.

I have tried with both Firefox and Chrome. I have disabled and re-enabled Java, all to no avail.

Thanks in advance for your assistance

PS - It's been a while, I hope this thread is in the right place. I did a quick scan of the available forums and this seemed to be the most applicable place for this thread.

Seems to be working fine with IE9, I don't use the browsers you mention so I can't say for sure it's an issue with them or not.

update Java,Chris... I couldnt until i got the latest version on my desktop eith Firefox.

If you're using Java 7, that could possibly be part of the problem. Might be worth reverting to the last Java 6 update and see if that help. Version 7 was usually pretty wonky for me.

Hey Alicia! Long time no see! I just updated Java to 7. I've also now tried using IE9 and apparently thats not working either. It asks me to install something (i'm an IE noob), so i click install and it says its from an unknown publisher. Then something on my computer blocks it from continuing.

I am going to do a quick system restart, as i havent restarted since i installed the update. Watch that be the simple fix to this whole thing. LOL

Hmmm, still problem. It gives me an error at the top left corner and says "Click for details". When i do it pops up another window saying "ClassNotFoundException" with rcs.client.RealChatClient.class at the bottom. Then has 3 buttons that say "Details" "Ignore" or "Reload"

Do you have an ad blocking program?

I have "NoScript" as an addon on Firefox, but i have allowed both faunaclassifieds.com and faunaads.com. I have then disallowed them, and re-allowed them to see if maybe it just needed to be reloaded. I've also hit Ctrl+F5 to reload the cookie to see if that made any difference. Still nothing. Not quite sure what else to do.

Bryon and Laura are wntirely unable to get in chat anymore too... Its really old software and i think newer code is less and less compatible across the board, since in not ON the system its hard for me to guess, have you tried a different browser just to be sure??
