Is this working for anyone?

All I get is a grey screen, and it worked a week ago!

[Tipsy]

Seems to be the same with mine. Its gone the way of the ebay links (dont work!)

[netsmithUK]

Thought I'd fixed the ebay link thing? Can someone post me a userid that is not work, after checking it works in ebay first.

I'll look into the chat room thing

Cheers

My ebay thing works fine now - cheers[^]

Seems to be ok on other ID's too, just checked NetsmithUK and Tipsy and both link up fine.

I think ebya changed what was allowable as userid recently and this might be causing some problem with particular usernames that use none standard characters.

As far as the Chat goes, I seem to have lost all contact with the company that provided the service, (which costs me $75.00 per year [8)]) Website is down and emails bounce.

Hopefully its just a christmas 'glitch' and the company hasn't gone belly up.

Will keep you informed. If someone notices its back then please post here.

Thanks

Chris

I think chat got busted again

[TWINSET]

Dunno what it means, but it says;

exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at the bottom when it jams [xx(]

Sorry guys... have been trying this on & off forever and

have never got it to work. Always the grey screen &

"We're sorry. The chat room may not be accessed from this page"

However I do notice a small new window opening up... but

it closes itself quickly afterwards.

Have tried this on several different PCs now.

Any particular settings I need?

Hi Willy

I think your problem is a different one - as far as I know the Chat is back, a bunch of us were in there last night.

The message you are getting is not an error but a security warning, basically the applet checks it is only every opened from the page/url

http://www.tamiyaclub.com/betachat.asp

If that is different for any reason you will get that message. A few people before had the ip address in instead of the domain name, any service which redirect or translate would have problems too.

Can you send me a screen shot?

Thanks

Chris

I had this on my dads pc over xmas

He runs 2000 and I had to get the service pack to get it working.

I tried the java file (msjavx86.exe) but couldn't run it without the service pack, and once I got the SP, chat worked anyway.

[netsmithUK]

Sorry the link to the screen shot doesn't work

Thought I'd have another shot at this again. Nup - no go. [V]

I access it from the LHS menubar, not a saved Favourite bookmark.

Have turned On every option in IE, lowest security.

This is what I get... (its blue today, was grey before):

TIA, Chris.

[netsmithUK]

Sorry Willy I'm none the wiser.

The error message where it complained about the opening URL page, looked solvable for any of the reasons I listed. Just a blue screen or no error is just complete unknown. Any chance you can try loggin in from another machine, just as a test? Or try connecting via another ISP

Something somewhere is blocking your access, and the only thing I can think of is something installed on your machine (intentionally or not) or with your ISP

Cheers
