The chat window appears to still load, but doesn't populate with any messages or users.

I miss the corcern.
-
I forgot there was even a chat room here to begin with.
-
The main page had errors too for a couple hours.
-
I have the same problem.
-
Have had issues with the main site this evening and switched to PHP 7.2 to see if that addressed any of them. I reverted it to 7.1 just now, and the chat should work again.
The chat script will need to be updated for PHP 7.2 by year's end.

Oh look, chat is acting funky again. Log in and you're immediately greeted with an "invalid IP address" error.
-
People log into the chat?
-
When I tried to log in to the chat a minute ago it redirected me to the home page of this forum.

Chat regulars with no lives right about now:

I think the chat has become sentient, and is now kicking everyone while starting its search for someone called "the intern."

I miss the intern

I miss a text-based social life.

Is there another chat software we could have set up as a backup for AJAX? We seem to be running into a lot of problems lately...
-
Could always go back to IRC. Maybe start a channel on Freenode or something.
-
How about starting an AARoads Discord server? That way there can be multiple voice and text channels focused on specific subjects.
-
Nah, we're too old-school for discord. We want our mods to be able to mod, too.

Alright, who posted the traffic light emojis this time?

I have just tried to enter the chat, and it's not working for me. Has this problem not yet been resolved? Is there, perhaps, a problem with my account?

Welcome from very close by! PM me if you want to know which city/town I live in.

The chat is dead. Long live the chat.

If only he were as welcoming to others. My vote is for IRC where all may enter.

I'm hoping to launch chat publicly by Saturday and all will be welcome, if only as a backup (fingers crossed the official chat returns because that is preferred). The reason I haven't really posted the link now is because there's no registration system and I have no way of knowing who is who without checking IPs, which makes any moderation impossible- especially if somebody logs in pretending to be somebody else. That should be ready to go here soon and it'll be welcome to all.

Unless you log in as (corco), in which case the host becomes easily confused and must repeatedly ban you.

I am in chat. We found the problem apparently. Come on in.

Yeah, that's weird. I myself am definitely in there.

I've watched several people try to come in so far, and get booted again. They're able to leave one line of text at most. Recommend waiting...
-
So far, we have 4 people in chat, and one who was getting booted is now in there with us. I think it's resolving.

If you're still unable to get into chat (most people seem to be able to, now), try a DNS flush. It may work to manually set DNS to 8.8.8.8 for the time being (I'm told this is a Google DNS that will work).

& set your 'alt' DNS to 8.8.4.4, which is also a Google DNS.
These are the ones I'm using, and having no issues getting into the chat.

And if you object to having both set to Google servers, 1.1.1.1 is another, non-Google alternative.

It was fixed earlier, but beware of trouble coming when we're forced to update to SMF 7.2.

I thought that had been done already? I guess not.

Time to play American Pie in observance of the Chat's last day. Trivia in 10 hours for a final sendoff, maybe we should have a toast at the end?

Um the chat's still up. Personally I haven't really been on there since 2017.

Happy to post that it looked like the forum software update resolved issues with it. May run into the same issue at the end of 2020 when the PHP will have to updated again on the server.

This seems the most recent discussion about chat, so I'll ask here:
Do you have to contribute to the chat in order to stay? I jumped in just to see what it was all about, but got bumped back to the forum home page before long.

Yes, you shouldn't sit there.
