This is probably because chat-solutions recently retired the cristal server (and added a new one named riprock). I've been getting the same initial failed connection at work, but a few minutes later it does connect (probably to foshizzle but I haven't checked.)

This has nothing to do with your browser or platform. I'm not sure if SpaceBass needs to alter the launch code in the Java applet, to get it to look for another server. I'm surprised that yours doesn't eventually connect -- try again later, as there are occasional outages.

(this is, of course, assuming that you have been able to connect in the past, and that this is a recent change in behaviour for you; usual disclaimers about firewalls still apply.)

I'm getting it regularly on and off both at home and at work using hydrairc. At first I thought it was firewall, then I thought maybe I somehow got banned, but some days it works, and some not, sometimes at work and sometimes at home. Is chat-solutions having some intermittent server problems? Or am I alone on this entirely?

Just an FYI - I've split the growing meta discussion off and put it into the Meta forum. It's a great meta discussion - what happens where, are the non-chatters left out, how can we best share between chat & the forums, etc - that comes up every now and again. So, if you're looking for such a discussion go to this thread in the Meta forum. Please keep the convo here on problems and issues related, not to chat, but to the actual unfiction java client. Thanks Smile

Your wish is my command. Come talk to me here! #s7 via Java or #s7 via your IRC client.

There has been a certain amount of turnover in the Chat Solutions servers. The safest option is always to try and connect to irc.chat-solutions.org, because that should in theory get you to some active server. As of the date of this post, the three servers that I know of on the network are asteroid.chat-solutions.org, radiant.chat-solutions.org, and stardust.chat-solutions.org. I suppose individual IPs for these could work as well, but I have no idea if the ones listed in the java client's pulldown match those of the current servers.

(And although it is now gone ... foshizzle forever!)

There are a few reasons this might happen. But one that I found last week is that the applet doesn't seem to work with the latest Java Runtime Environment. Uninstalling it and then installing an older one seemed to work better.

This is true. The unfiction chat applet is out-of-date, but Chat Solutions (where the unfiction chat is hosted) has a better java chat applet for your browser. Try this:
http://www.chat-solutions.org/chat/unfiction.html
(much easier than uninstalling good software, and it has more features than the old applet)

Tried that link, but still nothing. Guess I'll try uninstalling. Thanks for the help, guys!
