For those of you who had reported having problems with the chat room in the new Mac OS, I got this note from Groupee (which had said they were passing the info on to their developers some time ago so it could be fixed):

quote:

I wanted to let you know that this issue has been fixed in the update that will be deployed to all of our servers beginning tonight at 8pm Pacific Time.

This was in a message dated Feb. 19th, so please lemme know if anyone's still having trouble. Many thanks.

And what is the latest on the eve server for the forums?

It's been acting up again this morning.

It's been acting up again this morning.

Groupee is working on moving the forum software to a new server with a different configuration that should combat the error they are currently seeing happen. Last I heard from them this afternoon is that they were hoping it would be switched tonight.

I am trying to get into the chat room, and am getting a "the page you requested is not available error."

Yes, I know it's Friday, and that I should have a life. But, I don't.

I'm currently getting the same message Annie got previously.

annie is still getting said message.

and, yes, she's in a third-person type of mood.

Me too.

Looking into this now. Sorry for the delay.

Gracias, senor.

(I don't know how to do the cool accenty things on my keyboard- lo siento)

Boots unite! I want a refund! Oh, the emotional trauma too...Let's organize a class action thingamajig! (There was no disclaimer, so BOOTCOM HQ is liable!)

*ahem* Are you mocking me, Stoo? I think you're really just jealous of all of my "internet friends"; as you should be.

Just because you can't even find someone on the net willing to chat with you doesn't mean you have to be snarky about it.

Back to official type things... the boards were giving me that 503 or whatever message a little bit ago as I was rushing to give Stoo the smackdown. (I'm bored at work, ok?)

Chat room is back in action.

Thanks to whomever gave me the cool accenty thingy link.

I heard through the grapevine that somebody with the new Mac OS still can't use the chat room. Who's got Mac, is it working for you?

If the grapevine calls again, can you ask them what browser they are using too? That'll help us duplicate it.

Update: Checked with Mac OSX using safari and firefox and the chat room was accessible.

K, thanks. I'll go harass more grapes.

OSX: First attempt crashed FF after taking 20s to load. But it worked the second time around. OSX 10.5 with latest Flash plug-in and FF.

And Callilucy was not logged into the chat room, so there clearly is an error somewhere...

Continental Op found this useful article which helps explain what the problem could be for Mac users, and potential workarounds. Check out this article: QuickTime update breaks Flash websites (for some)

More discussion of it over here on the Apple boards.
