OddChat Fixed
 
After being forwarded some information from one of Max the Mug's contacts (namely Kellie), I endeavoured to seek a replacement for OddChat. I have come across one, recommended by this informant. For the members who use the browser based OddChat, you will notice that the older panel has been replaced by a more high-tech and over-filled panel.

For those of you who use the mIRC client, or any other IRC client for that matter, you can connect as usual to OddChat using the following parameters:

IRC Server: irc.nitrousnet.net
Port(s): 7000

OddChat Operators should send me a private message with their nickname, and I will add you back to the access list. Operators will notice quite a difference, as there are a lot (and I mean a lot) of new features.

Okay, thank's for information! And... I'm new on the forum, and I'm from poland, so don't be irritated. =)

oddguy 03-13-2004 06:04 AM

Wow! :eek: Looks great! Great job, Alcar.

wow great alcar!
thank you very much!

Nath 03-13-2004 06:35 AM

Ok. I have no idea what you mean by IRC. All I see is the new fancy screen and me not being Connected.

oddguy 03-13-2004 06:37 AM

A thing though. When loading up oddchat, my firewall popped up and asked me if I wanted to use my computer as a server...I clicked "no," and OddChat worked fine...at least everything seemed fine. What's up with this, Alcar?

Oddchat's always been working for me, unlucky saps you all are :p

GrigtheSlig 03-13-2004 08:35 AM

It looks awesome, but when I want to select a font, there aren't any to select...Why is that?

Wil 03-13-2004 08:40 AM

I don't understand how OddChat has been working for you, SS. The server which OddChat used to use doesn't actually exist anymore, and until Alcar just now registered it again, OddChat did not exist.

This must be some bizarre form of cache the like of which the world has never seen.

And what's all this 'contact' and 'informant' stuff, Alcar? I must have been pretty out of it to give you that impression. Me, or you, of course.

Alcar 03-13-2004 10:52 AM

Oddguy, I actually clicked yes. Although seeing as you picked no, I would advise everyone else to click no. As for what it means, I don't know.

I thought you had said that Kellie had given you the information :fuzconf: Never the less, I'm still grateful that you passed it on.

Alcar...

Wil 03-13-2004 11:09 AM

Yep, that's what I thought you meant. Just I read you as implying it was a personal contact of mine, whereas Kellie is an OddChat regular. Or was, at least.

Alcar 03-13-2004 08:08 PM

Ah, okays.

Can I have your nickname, so I can add it to the access list? Unless you'd rather not be an Operator ;)

And sligslinger, there is no possible way you could connect to the OddChat server. The actual server module for IRC is gone, no cache can create a temporary IRC module on a remote server.

Alcar...

oddguy 03-14-2004 05:59 AM

So sligslinger is...lying? Say it aint so sligslinger, say it aint so! :crying:

Adder 03-14-2004 06:48 AM

Not only does Oddchat now work, but it's now fast enough for me to access it!

It's also ever-so-slightly too big for the space it's given on the page. Can anyone else see a Window scroll bar to the right? (I don't mean the grayed one at the edge, or the blue one in the appalet.)

Great to be able to chat again.

Honestly, it was working for me but I stopped going when the "Oddchat Anyone?" thread came around, I went once and it still worked so I don't know what happened. Kellie, my old girlfriend on Oddchat? She stopped going as much because noone she knew seemed to go anymore. She doesn't love me as much anymore because I freaked her out with Freddy Kruegar-talk. :p

Majic 03-14-2004 12:31 PM

Bah. Now I have ot register my nick again and everything. Despite the fact I actually went to the point of getting the auth code sent to me, I never bothered loading it back up. Whatever, though, I'll do whatever later.

a flock of seagulls 03-14-2004 01:47 PM

ok i tried to connect but i got "unnable to connect : null" ok now what is null?

Sekto Springs 03-15-2004 10:02 AM

:

ok now what is null?

llun spelled backwards :p

a flock of seagulls 03-15-2004 11:39 AM

oh ha ha ha reall funny SS. by the way i talked to kellie, she said you two never went out together and that the new site thingy for mirc was... well ill just post what she said
Dä®k_Fáï®y :: Dark is evil, evil is a sin darkness isnt everything says:
just post the new link for Mirc is irc.nitrousnet.net (by kellie) and btw kellie never went out with ss
(P.S. im not sure if this deserves a warning/ban or not but she just wanted me to post it)

Sekto Springs 03-15-2004 12:10 PM

:

and btw kellie never went out with ss

I was joking.
DUH!

:p :p

a flock of seagulls 03-15-2004 02:07 PM

ooooooh. that explains it. well ill tell her next time i see her.

Nath 03-16-2004 07:43 AM

I still can't get on Oddchat

Xavier 03-16-2004 07:51 AM

what is the problem Nath? what error message do you get?

Sekto Springs 03-16-2004 07:53 AM

Mine works fine, but now it takes like an hour to load.

Nath 03-16-2004 08:02 AM

When I click on Oddchat, I get a security warner asking me to download summing from an untrusted root so I click no, then when the page loads it says it's connecting but then it says Unable to connect : null

Sekto Springs 03-16-2004 08:08 AM

I think the new Oddchat has some faulty coding, we should check this.

Adder 03-16-2004 08:11 AM

Nath, try clicking "Yes".

Also, will you be able to register on a "free" e-mail? The fact that anyone could use the nick Adder is a little annoying. I'd like to protect my name.

Nath 03-16-2004 08:22 AM

:

Nath, try clicking "Yes".

If I click Yes, then I will be downloading summing from an untrusted root, and I really don't want to be dowloading summing that will put stuff onto my computer which will damage it or whatever.

Adder 03-16-2004 08:38 AM

Nads, I'm pretty sure that you're being asked to download the programme needed for Oddchat. In a sence, you're refusing to download Oddchat itself. I get the same message.

It's not too big a deal. If you're still not sure, try a freinds computer first!

GrigtheSlig 03-16-2004 08:52 AM

Hey, you can do real smiles in Oddchat now! :D YAY!
