Can't Access Chat?
« on: June 16, 2010, 20:32:02 »
It loads up but won't let me type into the login screen. Is this a common issue now? I did not have this issue before.

hi cat,
         ive been having the same problems. may i ask what op/sys your using?
im using  win 98. and when i had this problem before it had to do with my
macromedia flash player and direct x. it took me awhile to find the correct
versions for the flash and direct x... in my case my computer crashed so i'm
attempting to track down the websites i used to accomplish this and getting
on army.ca chat... if you can send me your op/sys ill do my best to get you
back on army.ca chat...
best reagrds

I just tried it out and experienced the same problem.  I am using Firefox version 3.6.3 on a windows 7 computer.

hi all,
      how very strange as i see your all using updated versions of internet
explorer browsers or equivalent...and newer vervsions ie: op/sys than my
win 98... question- have you recently downloaded/uploaded any software
from any websites.. or deleted same... changed your firewall preferences.
antivirus.... or any settings control panal internet settings....

nope, nada I'm a little bit too internet insecure to mess around with too much in those settings. Now the comp registry...that thing usually gets chewed to peices in a couple of weeks.

Where is this chat even located!? :P

Edit: Nevermind! A quick Google search of "Army.ca Chat" revealed it's hidden location.

THanks for the report... looks like a recent upgrade to the chat program has caused a problem. :( I'll see what I can do about fixing it.

hehe I'll be honest when I first couldn't access I had to really think hard about my last time in the chat if I'd said/done anything to get me banned from it....how sad is that....

Ah well it's a nice feature, hopefully with all this publicity it'll be packed when it's back up :D

Indeed, I usually try once every few days to see if it's up.
Is there an ETA available on the fix?

Hi Folks,,,
Still a no-go on my end... Still tinkering with win98. I cant for the life of me
remember what i did to remedy the problem... Will keep bashing away.
I'am also having problems with the message avatar's (Example: salute-
canada flag ect. I know it had something to do with active x and flash but
that was on my puter with win98 but then again i see other op/sys having
the same problem.... Weird huh?
Anyway hopefully Mike can come up with a solution...
Cheer's and best regard's all,,
