Re: First time I got a problem

Sorry, all, the Web server went down sometime after 10:30 a.m. UTC and I'm not sure why; thank you all for letting me know.

Cheers,

Re: Halp! Trill unable to connect to chat.

You need to use chat.nightscrawlers.com instead of chat.shadowedcorner.com. The domain shadowedcorner.com is now unavailable to anyone without IPv6 connectivity, and chat.* only existed for backwards compatibility anyway.

Re: Halp! Trill unable to connect to chat.

Can you give me the connection details you're using? The only thing that's changed on the server side is that shadowedcorner.com, which I may have specified in connection instructions ages ago, is now my playground for IPv6 testing and isn't going to be accessible to, well, most of the Internet. You...

Re: Halp! Trill unable to connect to chat.

Well, the update in chat is irrelevant; there's been no downtime thus far, though I may post a downtime announcement later in the week. The server's up and you can connect via Java, so I'm not sure what it could be; I'd look at firewalls on your computer(s) that may be blocking outbound connections ...

No, that's fine, and I would have done it earlier, except I had to update a Today's Posts mod that was written for phpBB ten versions ago. :p Getting used to the mod system to make all changes is a bit of work but totally worth it.

Re: New Forum Platform: Issues and Questions

To the former, I'll look into it. I think that's just the way a forum with a password works in phpBB, and the easiest thing to do might be to just remove the password and let permissions handle who has access as they do already; I see no need for both barriers to entry. To the latter, maybe? phpBB j...

Re: How to use chat on android device?

Android devices run Java *kind of*. It would be more correct to say they run Android applications. You should be able to access chat with any Android IRC client; I think Slarti's had success using AndChat; just search the Market for AndChat or pname:net.andchat.

Re: Registrations frozen

We have set up a new CAPTCHA plugin, and are hoping this will cut down on the spam. Registrations have been re-enabled for now. They will not be completely disabled in the future; at the worst, they will require administrator activation.
